Dolomites Best Ski Slopes: La Longia | Val Gardena

Показать описание

A Dutch lady once told me that she renamed the La Longia ski slope, ‘The Fairytale Run’ because it has everything that a skier could want.

This red and blue piste is 10.5 Km long and drops around 1,300m through some of the best terrain in the Val Gardena. Starting at the top of the Fermeda chair at 2,518m ASL and adjacent to the Odles peaks, the views from the top of La Longia are amongst the best in the Dolomites and the Val Gardena.

La Longia starts above the tree line and offers wide slopes with a steady gradient that are great for carving. Once you drop below the tree line there terrain flattens and curves through the trees and into the gully with the famous frozen waterfall.

A ski run for great pace, with steady gradient and no sudden changes of direction or pitch.

Had the pleasure to visit numerous ski resorts over the years in France, Austria and Italy. Of all, the Dolomites took my heart. What an amazing place to be. Within Val Gardena three slopes live rent free in my head: Saslong, La Longia and Pilat (newly opened run - Seiser Alm to Ortisei). Been there in 2020, in 2022 and next year I will bring my entire family to this amazing place. Can't wait!

La Longia. I remember every corner. 10 consecutive years we went in Ortisei for skiing. My father went on most of the ski resorts in Europe, but Val Gardena, and especially Ortisei offers real fairy tale experience. La Longia...Sella Ronda giro...Monte Pana...Marmolada...Alpe di Siusi...shure brings back memories. We shall come back one day.

The Dolomites is just my favourite place to ski of all. I’ve done the Sella Ronda from both Canazei and Corvara and was blown away by the beauty of the mountains. But I’ve not done the Longia. Looks like a heap of fun. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Today I finally visited Val Gardena. First, I did all the longest and steepest slopes on the Saslong side, then I crossed on the trenno to Seceda and went straight to the top after that. I was finally going to ski down La Longia. Let me tell you, it blew my mind. I did it three times in a row, each time a little more confident and quicker. The first time I saw the funivia Ortisei-Funes I felt like I was in a movie, lol. And all because of this video. The name Inspired ITALY couldn't more spot on. Thank you! If it wasn't for this channel, I would have never heard of La Longia. By the way, the descent back to the trenno to cross from one side to the other, is also out of this world.

We'll be skiing in the Dolomites for the first time this season.

I watched start to finish top to bottom. Done that run lots of times ate in the restaurants. Great memories because that's all we have at present. Thanks for posting.

What a dream run. Looks like a real leg burner.

This is the best video of the many of this run that I’ve seen.
March 2020: a booked holiday was cancelled. 2021: no dice. 2022: I really hope to finally make it to Val Gardena!

Oh man, you made me dreaming! What a fabulous video! I've done ""i quattro passi" myself and other runs around there some "decades" ago but I missed "La Longia". Thanks for sharing.

Fab video. I skied this slope with my then 13 year old son in February 2014 and it was a firm favourite. I'd love to get back to the Dolomites especially Val Gardena which I preferred to Val di Fassa, although all of it was excellent skiing!

I have wanted to take a European ski vacation for 30 years. Started doing research 3 years ago. This is my idea of a perfect run so I think you may have helped me decide where to go. Now....to get rid of this nasty COVID keeping us all locked down. Cheers!
