As mentioned above, Selva is part of the dolomite super ski. This the name given to the entire ski region but within the dolomite super ski you find the sella Rhonda ski circuit and this is the area that Selva is situated. This circuit is made up of 4 different valleys and gives you a root around the area that can be skied either clockwise or anti clockwise. It can be skied in a day (if skiing at a decent rate) and is definitely something to try at some point during your stay in selva. However, it's not to be taken lightly so you will need to set off early and expect to be getting back late on in the day.
