Ski deals Kastelruth - skiing on Europe's largest alp!
In the heart of South Tyrol, directly at the connection to Val Gardena, is the wide high plateau of Seiser Alm, with its diverse resorts. Seiser Alm is the queen of Europe's highest alp: it covers 52 km², stretching from 1,060 m - 2,245 m between the imposing peaks of Langkofel and Plattkofel, Goldknopf, Puflatsch and Schlern! As such, Seiser Alm is among the most famous winter sports and hiking areas in the entire alpine region. Despite its numerous visitors, the resorts have retained their traditional charm with pretty farm houses and towering church towers. The ski area is most easily reached with the Umlauf lift from the edge of Seis. Seiser Alm offers 60 kilometres of piste and, together with Val Gardena, a ski paradise with 175 kilometres of piste!
