Ortisei Christmas skiing

Ortisei Christmas holidays

Ortisei is brimming with Christmas cheer at this time of year as its multitude of coloured buildings twinkle with fairy lights, and a crisp, frosty air brings a magical excitement to the scene. The legendary wood carvers of Val Gardena have used Christmas as the ultimate excuse to showcase their talents in Christmasses past: wrap up warm and wander Luis Trenker street as you take in hand-crafted nativity scenes.

A spot of Christmas shopping in the town centre will fill your pockets with unique, hand-crafted trinkets, foods and wines for last minute stocking fillers and souvenirs for your loved ones at home. For a stay that couldn’t be more festive if you tried, spend the evenings ice skating in the open air and sipping on steaming cups of mulled wine. In the past, yuletide performances of “Christmas on Ice” have taken place- visit the tourist office for information on this year’s show.

With top altitudes of 2518m and 150km of snow cannons, Ortisei should be all set for your ski visit this Christmas. Stay in the village’s hotels for easy access to ski lifts and ski school meeting points, with some hotels putting on their own festive feasts on the day itself.
