The Sella is considered one of the steep ski mountaineering paradises in the Dolomites: elegant couloirs, exposed slopes, and technical lines that offer authentic thrills to expert skiers. A high-mountain environment that combines technical challenges and unforgettable views, surrounded by the Dolomite peaks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

What level do you need to be at to ski steep slopes on the Sella?

Steep skiing on the Sella Group is not simply off-piste skiing: these are mountaineering routes that require technical and mental preparation.

To tackle it safely, you need to:

• Have an excellent level of skiing on the slopes, with the ability to tackle any type of slope with confidence and control.
• Possess an advanced level of freeriding, with solid experience on steep and exposed terrain.
• Be aware of the alpine environment: the Sella routes are challenging itineraries where conditions can vary considerably during the season.

Snow conditions, exposure, and the time of year greatly influence the feasibility and difficulty of descents. For this reason, it is essential to work with your guide to assess the route best suited to your abilities and the conditions at the time.
