4.5 hours would be enough to complete the round trip "Sella Ronda" for a good skier who studied its route in advance. It includes 2 hours lift time and one hours lunch brake. In a vacation season such as Christmas or Carnival, it may take much more time. Many old lifts and T-bars were replaced with modern transport utilities like cabins or high speed lifts.
The ski pass includes also bus transport fee. Starting at 9:00 O'clock. |
Langkofel (Sassolungo) from the start point of a world cup down -hill course "Ciampinoi". |
Langkofel from southeast. The cabin is operated only in summer. |
After reaching the south side of Sella, the highest peak Pitz Boe (3152m) becomes visible in pyramid form. |
Arriving at Arabba the middle point of the course at 10:30 enables me to make a small optional tour to the south peak Belvedere. |
Arrival at the east side of Sella by two lift transports. 1 hour lunch break is guaranteed! |
Lift named "Boe" at the east side of Sella. |
It was still 14:00 arriving at Corvara. Another optional tour to Edelweiss valley at the north side of Sella was possible. |
It was 15:00 when I went back to Selva.
The white lines are transport utilities, while the red lines are
skiing.
After first lift transport from Selva (9:20)
One of the typical Dolomite sights!

That is Italy where you can order such a thing in a ski hut! |
The afternoon can be used for practicing deep snow near Ciampnoi.
