Poster: A snowHead

I have been to the Sella Ronda a few times with SH's, but am going a week early this year. I can't remember the best bits, or where place like the hidden valley and the giant frozen waterfall. Could someone remind me?

@hedgehunter, Well the hidden valley run with the frozen waterfall starts from the top of the Lagazuoi cable car which goes from Passo Falzarego. To get there from the Sella Ronda you leave the Sella Ronda at Corvara and head for Armentarola, from where you need to take one of the frequent taxis/buses to Passo Falzarego which costs about 6 Euros. You don't need a taxi at the end of the Hidden Valley to get back (although you can take one if you wish from the Capanna Alpina restaurant, otherwise you ski down to the horsedrawn tow which takes you most of the way along the flat section then with a bit of poling you reach a baby drag lift which gives you enough height to ski down to San Cassiano for the return to the Sella Ronda). Also from Passo Falzarego you can ski the nearby very scenic and quiet Cinque Torri ski area.
Another very popular thing to do from the Sella Ronda is from Selva take the Ciampinoi gondola for the Sass Long Men's DH course (with its famous camel bumps) to St. Christina. The funicular at St Christina gives you access to the Seceda plateau from which there is a lovely 10.5 km red run La Longia down to Ortisei/St Ulrich.
In Colfosco the small Edelweisstal side valley is well worth doing.

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

@hedgehunter, For the Hidden Valley head for Armentarola and take a taxi to the Lagazoi cable car. Then it’s a horse tow or taxi back to Armentarola to get back. Frozen waterfall is on the way down. There are lots of offshoots to explore on the Sella Ronda area. The Alba area across to Pozza Di Fassa is a good excursion. There’s now a lift from above Canezie to Alba. Alpe de Siusi is another good excursion that can be done easily from the Sella Ronda. Santa Croce is another one via La Villa/Pedraces. I’m sure others will be along with recommendations.

Heading there in under 2 hrs. Snow amazing. Sun predicted. Skiing with a bloke from Derby! What could be better?

@hedgehunter, Corvara, Colfosco area for sunny open slopes. Arabba, Marmolada for more challenging terrain. Orange route for Sella Ronda circuit better overall than Green, IMO. More skiing, fewer lifts.
See separate thread on snowHead recommended restaurants.
In current conditions, all pretty spectacular. Enjoy

Out there in a few weeks and very keen to get over to the Pozza di Fassa side. I'd assumed the best way (coming from Selva) is to ski all the way down to Canazei and get a bus up to Alba, rather than downloading in the new gondola from Belvedere side into Alba as you'd just end up doing 3-4 lifts in a row - is that right? (i.e. is there a frequent, easy bus between Canazei and Alba?)

The bus is not free (any more). The run down to Canazei is a nice one, but you need to walk the last few 100 metres down the hill thru the town to get to the bus stop. I'd guess the new lift is more convenient now?
