What a good place. We found a great apartment, at Ortisei, through the tourist office the morning we travelled (villa Prinoth). We drove from Bergamo which took about 3 hours. The resort has great amenities and escalators to drop you in the town or go to the lifts. Loads of pretty runs for snowboarding. Some good long ones and not too many flats. If it has snowed a lot take the single chair on the Seceda side instead of the gondola and you will get a pretty tree lined run all to yourself. If you want to do the Sella Ronda it is pretty easy going but the queues are bad on the lifts around the Wolkenstien. The igloo bar is ok. The bar staff are pretty and shake it to the music. Really worth going to Ortisei. Pretty runs, great scenery and the people are really friendly. Ortisei is a good antedote to some of the over priced French resorts.
