Gebirgsjägerrunde – Giro della Grande Guerra
Following the Dolomites front line, the war circuit is a grand ski safari through the Dolomiti Superski area and past the most striking mountains of the region.
8 h · 1-2 days
Ski guiding on the war circuit: this ski route runs through the Dolomiti Superski area along the battlefields of the Dolomites front in the First World War. Passing some of the most imposing Dolomite peaks, you need to keep up a good pace if you want to complete the circuit in one day.
If you prefer a more relaxed pace, split the circuit over two days, enjoy it all without rushing and add a few detours to the finest pistes, including some off the circuit.

PROGRAMME
Day 1-2: Individual war circuit
There are several possible starting points for the Gebirgsjägerrunde. When you enquire, we will happily agree on the most suitable starting point – depending on where you are staying. Whether Val Gardena, Val Badia or Cortina: the circuit can be arranged flexibly. It is around 82 kilometres long in total and can be skied in either direction, clockwise or anticlockwise.
I recommend splitting the tour over 2 days. There are wonderful places to stay overnight – let yourself be surprised. Detours to other ski areas with special piste highlights are also possible. Depending on the strength, stamina and ski technique of the participants, we are very flexible here and adapt the circuit accordingly.
We ski in one of the largest interconnected ski areas in the world: Dolomiti Superski. From the many kilometres of pistes we pick out the very best. We cover two short stretches between individual areas by taxi or bus, and depending on the direction, a horse even pulls us along a longer flat section.
Along the way we are accompanied by the peaks of Sella, Marmolada, Civetta, Pelmo, Cinque Torri, Tofana, Lagazuoi, Conturines and Sassongher. On top of that, traces of the First World War are everywhere: relics from the war, trenches, battlements and forts. At the centre of it all is the rather inconspicuous Col di Lana, which we circle on the tour. We are happy to tell you the remarkable story of this mountain along the way as we glide leisurely past the rock faces of the Dolomites in the gondolas.
At lunchtime we stop at one of the many huts and treat ourselves. The circuit also has plenty to offer in culinary terms. We ski some of the best-known and longest pistes in the Dolomites. If you already know the Sellaronda and want to go one better, this is exactly the right tour for you. For very good skiers the circuit is also possible in one day – this requires a very early start and quick progress.
Any changes to the programme that may become necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, availability of accommodation, etc.) are always made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Can you ski the Gebirgsjägerrunde in one day?
Yes, this is possible for very good skiers. It requires an early start with the first lifts and a brisk pace all day long. The circuit is usually more relaxed when split over 2 days.
Where does the tour start?
There are several sensible starting points. We choose the starting point so that it fits well with your accommodation and the preferred split – for example towards Val Gardena, Val Badia or Cortina.
What equipment do I need for the ski guiding?
For the circuit you mainly need your usual ski equipment and suitable ski clothing. The full packing list comes with the confirmation email. Any missing equipment can be rented from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
