Hi , I know there is lots of info on this topic already but i can't find the thread.
Which is the easier route on the sella?

Easier from which point of view? Gentler slopes or less walking/poling?
I can't remember which colour is which, but one way round is steeper and the other is flatter.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

The green route is the easiest the Orange one is the one described as 'more sporting' as its higher & has a black run in it.

Easier as in less aggressive skiing , as taking the family around tomorrow 14/12/9, and want it to be fun and easy for them

Easier is clockwise, harder anticlockwise.

I'd say anticlockwise is easier- or it was 2 weeks,ago when we were there

There are tricky bits both ways, depending on the time of day and how cut-up it is. In either case, there is nothing much to trouble a reasonably competent skier. The long red down Dantercepies goes on a bit. There is a bit between Corvara and Arabba that is quite steep the reps call the lemming run. I find the "wacky races" bit down from Belvedere to Lupo Bianco narrow and crowded, but I think you will cope with the circuit which ever way. Personally, I hate flats more than steeps, so would avoid the "City of Stones" bit, but whichever way you go, i think, and hope, you will have a great day out.

In the end we did the clockwise orange route.
It was a bluebird day , and conditions were perfect.
Enjoyed all of it but got slightly lost in Selva , which was fortunate as we ended up and at the FIS men's downhill run which I wanted to do anyway.
The kids managed the whole trip well, but it did take 6 hours with lots of photo stops , one detour and a fairly lengthy lunch.

Dantercepies is quite easy I recall. Although it's a bit harder, the orange is better as the green has a long bit where all you do is sit on lifts.
