extra ski
Sella Nevea and the Julian Alps area offer many activities as alternative to skiing.
For instance, Sella Nevea is an excellent location for winter trekking with snow shoes. This beautiful, healthy and relaxing activity let you enjoy the nature more than anything else. Around Sella Nevea there are many tracks you can follow, from the easy flat ones to the challenging ones, for which it is advised to bring skies or snowboard to fully appreciate the descent. Check the section on the winter trekking to know more.
Always very popular sledge and toboggan can be rented in the village and used in many different places. In particular an ideal spot would be the dismissed Stella Alpina slope, now closed to skiers but definitely open to tobogganing. See the tobogganing section for more information.
You can ice skate both in Sella and Pontebba, where there is a big ice ring.
The "apres-ski" lists activities like "baitismo" (from baita = lodge, chalet) that consists in hopping from baita to baita enjoying few drinks straight after skiing. In Sella you can go to the Baita delle Alpi Giulie or to the jolly kiosk outside the Hotel Canin. In Bovec a cool place to go is Skripi Pub, immediately outside the cable way starting station. If you want something more Italian, highly recommended is the aperitivo to be drank in many bars in Sella Nevea, Tarvisio and Bovec.
Another typical apres-ski activity is the "saunismo", that is relax in sauna after skiing. It can be done in Sella Nevea, Bovec and Kranjska Gora.
