The Lift
The Ciampinoi gondola is the primary lift from the center of Selva di Val Gardena, ascending to the 2,254-meter summit. In just over seven minutes, its modern cabins transport skiers and hikers into the heart of the Sellaronda circuit, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Sassolungo, Sella, and Cir massifs.
Winter
The summit is a crucial junction for the Sellaronda, providing direct access to both the clockwise (Orange) and counter-clockwise (Green) routes. It's most famous for being the starting point of the legendary Saslong FIS Ski World Cup downhill run. Expert skiers can also challenge themselves on the steep and technical 'Ciampinoi 3' black run, which hosted the 1970 World Championships.
Summer
The gondola is a hub for summer activities, welcoming hikers and mountain bikers. It provides access to numerous trails, including circuits around the Sassolungo massif. The lift offers bike transport, serving a popular and challenging 3km freeride trail for experienced riders that descends over 560 vertical meters.
