Description

St Christina is a jewel in the crown of the dramatic Dolomites. The Val Gardena resorts of St Christina, Selva and Ortisei have direct access to much of the extensive Dolomiti Superski area as well the Sella Ronda. Combining Italian and Austrian traditions, Selva with it’s direct neighbour St Christina is the best known resort in the area where dedicated skiers are spoilt for choice. Small, smart and sophisticated, St Christina is a real find. This area of Val Gardena was for a long time part of Tyrol Austria and that’s why it has a Tyrolean charm, so you will hear more the German language than Italian. The scenery is awe inspiring and for sheer beauty this area is hard to beat and coupled with Selva’s own attractions and facilities, makes a wonderful choice for a ski holiday.

Après-ski starts on the mountain with several fun bars to choose from before the last runs home. In the resort itself après-ski is lively with plenty of fun to be experienced. One café on the main street serves particularly good hand made Italian ice cream. There’s a great choice of restaurants offering both Italian and Austrian specialties. There is night skiing on the Alpe di Siusi at least three nights a week that really needs to be experienced, at least once.

The charming fully catered Chalet Panorama is in the very heart of Val Gardena in the authentic old part of the centre of the village of St Cristina directly next to the neighbouring Selva and enjoys stunning views over the pistes and the surrounding mountains. The accommodation is spacious and all nine bedrooms have their own full en-suite bathroom with shower or bath, WC, basin, balcony, fitted hair dryer and a flat screen TV. There is a lovely lounge with comfortable seating to enjoy relaxing in, with an authentic Kachelofen and flat screen TV and a separate dining room. After your dinner finish off your evening with a night cap in the cosy bar or perhaps a relaxing sauna.  The private sauna area has a spacious shower facility, WC, rest room with chairs, an old tanning bed and an exercise bike, plus a heated ski and boot room with ski lockers and boot dryers/warmers. If you travel by car there is a private underground parking to leave your car save and it will save you all the hassle of scraping your windows, trying to start a frozen car and digging it out after a snowfall.
