Development to the present day

A ski area that wasn’t yet a ski area

Long before any ropeway systems were built on the Seiser Alm, the plateau was already considered an ideal place for skiing. Back then, anyone wishing to ski had to shoulder their equipment and climb up the high plateau by foot. Even ski races were already being held at this time.
Technology arrives on the Seiser Alm

In the 1938/1939 winter season, the first lift on the Seiser Alm opened: the “Slittovia Joch-Panorama” sled lift. In 1940, the first ski lift followed – the “Medzì Lift” – and in 1949, the first chairlift, “Monte Piz”, went into operation.
Learning to ski becomes possible

With the founding of the first ski school in 1956, more and more people had the opportunity to learn how to ski. Even ski legends such as Hans Steger and his wife Paula Wiesinger made their first turns at the ski school.
Continuous evolution towards refined technology

Over time, more than 20 modern ropeway systems have been built on the Seiser Alm, making 62 kilometres of slopes accessible. In 1966, the potential was recognised, and a connection between the Seiser Alm and Val Gardena ski areas was established. Today, the Seiser Alm/Val Gardena ski area, with 181 kilometres of slopes and 79 ropeway systems, is the largest in the Dolomites.
