The Val Gardena area is rich in walks that can be done in winter on your own or with a local guide.
Between Ortisei, Selva and Santa Cristina there are more than 10 trails of different levels.
Among them, we would like to recommend the walk to the Alpe di Siusi. It is an easy trail of about 5.5 kilometers where you can admire the surrounding mountains of Sassolungo, Sasso Piatto and Sciliar.
On the other hand, a medium difficulty walk that we suggest is thehike under the Odle, about 5 kilometers long, you will be able to explore one of the parks of the Dolomites considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Appropriate winter clothing is required to tackle the hikes

The price for a walk starts from 40€ for an adult and 15€ for a child (up to 11 years old)
7. Relaxing at the Mar Dolomit in Ortisei
For a different day away from the slopes, we suggest a day at Mar Dolomit, especially if the hotel where you are staying does not have a spa.
The facility has pools where you can swim, a sauna, steam room, whirlpool, and you can also book a massage.
The price for the pool starts from about 13€ while for the sauna from 25€
8. Activities in Ortisei for children in winter
