Skiing in Seis
Seis, in full Seis am Schlern, is a friendly South Tyrolean village directly below the Seiser Alm plateau, Europe's largest high-alpine meadow. The village lies in the Dolomites at the foot of the Schlern and is the natural gateway to the plateau: the cable car up to the alm leaves from the edge of the village. At the top you ski an area with 74 kilometres of pistes and 28 lifts, between 1013 and 2507 metres, part of Dolomiti Superski. Seis is smaller and quieter than neighbouring Kastelruth, with a compact centre and a clear family character. Recent winters saw snow depths on the plateau of up to around 130 centimetres. We list 4 accommodations in Seis, with winter holidays from 1028 euros per person.

The ski area from Seis
Seis' great asset is the cable car that takes you from the village edge straight up onto the Seiser Alm. Up top you ski a sunny high plateau with 74 kilometres of pistes and 28 lifts between 1013 and 2507 metres.
The descents are wide and rolling, ideal for beginners and relaxed cruisers, with enough red runs to keep a week varied. If you want more challenge, the Dolomiti Superski pass opens up day trips to surrounding areas such as Val Gardena, which lies on the far side of the plateau.
Snow reliability from Seis
Skiing from Seis takes place almost entirely on the high plateau, mostly above 1800 metres and topping out at 2507 metres. Recent winters recorded maximum snow depths of around 130 centimetres, and the Dolomites back up natural snowfall with very thorough snowmaking.
In practice, the pistes on the plateau are in good shape from early December to late March. In the village itself, which sits considerably lower, snow is not guaranteed in the shoulder months; your skiing does not depend on it.
The village itself
Seis is a compact village with a small centre, hotels in South Tyrolean style and a calm, well-kept atmosphere. The Schlern towers above it and frames the view from almost every street.
Evenings revolve around hotel bars and good restaurants; big après-ski does not exist here. In return, the village feels safe and child-friendly, and you genuinely stay in South Tyrol, with the local kitchen and hospitality that come with it. For shopping and a bit more life, Kastelruth is a short hop away.
Who is Seis for
Seis appeals above all to families and to skiers who value comfort and short transfers: thanks to the cable car you are on the plateau in no time, and the pistes up there are kind to beginners and intermediates.
Advanced skiers can use Seis as a base for the wider Dolomites, but will need to travel for their challenge. With stays from 1028 euros per person, prices sit above some neighbouring villages; you pay for the location right below the plateau and the generally higher hotel standard.
Practical information for Seis
You reach Seis via the Brenner route and the Eisack valley, followed by a short climb to the mountain terrace of the Schlern villages. There are no high passes on the way.
Christmas and the carnival weeks are the busiest and most expensive periods; January and March are quieter and often sunnier than you might expect. We list 4 accommodations in Seis, with winter holidays from 1028 euros per person. Book well ahead for school holidays, as village supply is limited and the location by the cable car is in demand.
