Tips & Advice
- Check the open days before you go, because the market runs only on select dates in early December and then daily from mid-December into January.
- The market opens only in the afternoon, so ski the Sellaronda carousel in the morning and walk over to the village center afterward.
- Park at one of the lots beside the center, such as Nives Square, Town Hall or the Ice Rink, and walk the short way to the huts.
- Coach groups should use the bus parking at Ciampinoi Chairlift or Plan de Gralba, where you pay a daily fee.
- Dress warmly, since this is an outdoor market in a Dolomites mountain village and it stays open into the evening.
