I was there, sort of accidentally, last half term as I just didn't get around to going home from the Birthday Bash.
It was significantly busier than it was the week before.
Top tip: on the first Sunday, if you're going to 'do the Sela Ronda', do the orange rather than the green. Every tour op of every nation tells their clients that the green is the easier of the two when there's not really a great deal of difference. As a result, the green is always the more crowded and the orange more pleasant on the first day of the week.
Top tip pt2: on the first Monday, the orange Sela Ronda route is likely to be busy
Do you know where you're staying yet?

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

No, just thinking about it at the moment.
Yeah I guess the recognised "to do's" should be done early on before anyone gets there ski legs, so the Marmalada, and the hidden valley.
Thanks for the Sela Ronda tip, though. Yeah, now it's out there who knows which is best.

We've been using Hotel Portavescovo for the Birthday Bash for 10 years now. It's friendly, comfortable and close to the slopes.
The family also have a cheaper 'Garni' Belavista, 5mins walk away. This is popular because the walk is pleasantly done in normal shoes as the ski room is at the Portavescovo.
Worth checking out and if you do use them, mention you're a snowHead as they do think well of us (honestly they do! )

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

As I say, it's a popular option with snowHeads on the Birthday Bash - basically, we fill it that week.
Mainly because its location makes it cheap but the ski room being at the main hotel makes the short walk a pleasure rather than a chore.

Wow, looks like there's still a couple of turns left at the bottom of that black!

We have been there several times at 1/2 term. Both of us were in Education. Queues were rare except on the Marmolada at the weekend.
We stayed at the Hotel Malita which we liked.

This year's half term clashed with Carnival / Fasching and was significantly busier than it was at half term the previous couple of years. Despite this it wasn't too bad and nothing like the madness that sometimes happens in the major french resorts (especially if there's an overlap with some of the major french half terms).
Next year everything will be back to normal and half term shouldn't be too busy at all.
