Apartments Medel is part of a complex combined with Apartments Pic. Just a 10-minute walk away, you will find the pedestrianised part of the centre of Ortisei, where you can enjoy many shops, restaurants, and pubs. The nearest ski bus stop is only 150 metres away and within a 5-minute bus journey you will be at the foot of the ski lifts. These lifts will give you access to the famous Sella Ronda via Santa Cristina and Selva. Alternatively, you can opt for the smaller Seiser Alm.
The 3-room apartment at Apartments Medel was recently built and includes a large, well-equipped kitchen and a spacious bedroom. You can relax there after an active day showing your skills on the slopes.
The indoor pool is not in the hotel itself - it is a public swimming pool ('Mar Dolomit', in Ortisei).
Ortisei is one of the livelier and certainly the most famous ski resort in the Val Gardena ski area. There is a pedestrianized shopping area with many restaurants, cafes and shops. There is also a number of après-ski bars and there is even a nightclub. If you want to discover more of the area, you can catch the (regular) bus to Santa Cristina and Selva.
Snowboarders will enjoy the 'The Seceda' which has a half pipe and a fun park. Cross-country skiers of all levels can enjoy themselves in Ortisei with all the beautiful trails that can be found on the Alpe di Siusi. After an active day on the slopes there is a number of activities, in the village, such as swimming, tobogganing, tennis and bowling. You can also visit the ice rink or the gym. See you in Ortisei!
