The Lift
The Fermeda is a modern, high-speed 4-person chairlift that acts as the main artery of the Seceda ski area. In approximately 7 minutes, it whisks you to the highest point of the skiable domain at over 2,500 meters, offering unparalleled, open-air views of the Sassolungo and Sella massifs. It's renowned for serving sunny, high-altitude slopes with consistently good snow.
Winter
From the summit, you can ski the sunny Fermeda pistes back towards the Col Raiser area of Santa Cristina or embark on one of the Dolomites' most iconic runs: the 'La Longia'. This magnificent 10.5 km red slope descends over 1,200 vertical meters all the way to the town of Ortisei. While not directly on the Sellaronda, the Fermeda lift is a key part of the 'Gardena Ronda' and provides a crucial link towards accessing the main circuit.
Summer
The chairlift operates in summer, providing hikers with access to the famous Seceda ridgeline and numerous trails within the Puez-Odle Nature Park. From the top station, it's a short walk to the panoramic viewpoint and several mountain huts (rifugi). Please note that bicycle transport is not permitted on this specific lift.
