Gluten-free ski guide · where to eat on the slopes and in the villages
Gluten-Free Skiing in the Dolomites
The short answer
Yes, you can ski the Dolomites gluten-free, with some planning. On 2 November 2026 we read the websites of the places we hold in the main ski areas, and we name 11 whose own pages describe gluten-free food: 5 in Val di Fassa, 3 in Val Gardena and one each in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Alta Badia and Arabba. Four of them are on the slopes or next to a lift. None of them says it is a gluten-free-only kitchen, so in every one you ask before you order; we also list 3 hotels and 13 supermarkets with gluten-free own-brand lines.
How we checked
Last checked 2 November 2026. We took the places our Atlas lists in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Alta Badia, Val Gardena, Val di Fassa, Arabba and the Civetta area and read each one’s own website, keeping a copy of every page. A place is on this page only if its own site describes gluten-free food; we quote those words on its entry, with the date we read them. We have not eaten at these places for this page. Seasons change every year, so every entry shows its season as the venue states it.

How to read this guide
Every entry gives the place’s own words about gluten-free food, where it is (in the village, on the slopes or at a lift), its address, its season as it states it, and how we know it, with the date. The small labels under a name repeat what the venue says it does; they are not our rating. Our four promises are public at howtoglutenfree.com/what-we-promise.
GF-servingA mixed kitchen that offers gluten-free food in its own words. Ask how it is prepared.
None of the places on this page says it is gluten-free only, so none carries our ★ Dedicated mark.
In the village / On the slopes (hut) / At a lift: where the place is, from its own words or its address.
Visited / Own website / ListedEach place says how we know it. “Visited by us”: someone from HTGF was there in the month shown (a visit, not a lab test). “Checked on its own website”: we read the venue’s own gluten-free wording in the month shown. “Listed by” and the name of a coeliac association (AIC, Coeliac UK and others): that association lists the place. “Listed by a directory”: a gluten-free directory lists it and we have not read it at the source yet.
01 · CORTINA D'AMPEZZO
Where can you eat gluten-free when skiing in Cortina d'Ampezzo?
In Cortina we name one restaurant, in town, and one hotel (in the stays section below). The other places we hold for Cortina are not on this page yet: on 2 November 2026 their own websites showed no gluten-free food, could not be read, or need a second look from us. Plan a gluten-free dinner in town and carry your lunch for the slopes, or ask at the hut. Dolomiti Bus runs the town buses and the line to Venice (see How do you get there).

Restaurant Pizzeria Al Passetto
GF-servingIn the villageDinner & pizza
In its own words:Pots and tools washed before use
●Closed on Wednesdays, for the four weeks after Easter week, and from the last week of November to mid-December, in its own words: «Da ultima settimana di Novembre fino al metà dicembre.»
A restaurant-pizzeria on the road that rings Cortina’s centre, with a page of its website given to coeliac disease.
The gluten-free angle
Its own site (read 2 November 2026): «Al Ristorante Al Passetto ci siamo specializzati e abbiamo ottenuto una certificazione che ci permette di accogliere con gioia tutti coloro che sono affetti da celiachia», in our English: we have specialised and obtained a certification that lets us welcome everyone with coeliac disease. It does not say who issued it. The same page: «oltre all’utilizzo di prodotti garantiti gluten-free, è necessario fare molta attenzione nella fase di preparazione delle pietanze, perché è assolutamente vietato utilizzare pentole e altri accessori, che prima non siano stati lavati a dovere» (besides products guaranteed gluten-free, the cooking needs great care: pots and other tools may never be used unless properly washed first).
Order
Book, say you have coeliac disease, and ask which pizzas and pasta dishes they make gluten-free that evening.
Watch out
The page names no certifying body and says nothing about the pizza oven or the fryer: ask about both before you order pizza or anything fried.
02 · ALTA BADIA: CORVARA, COLFOSCO, LA VILLA, SAN CASSIANO, BADIA
Where can you eat gluten-free when skiing in Alta Badia?
In Alta Badia we name one mountain hut, i Tablà, at the top of the Braia Fraida lift above La Villa. Several huts and restaurants in Corvara, Colfosco and San Cassiano are in our Atlas, but on 2 November 2026 their own websites showed no gluten-free food for their kitchens or could not be read, so they are not on this page. Corvara and Colfosco sit on the Sella Ronda; La Villa, San Cassiano and Badia (Pedraces) are further down the valley. In winter the regional bus 460 links the valley with Brunico (Bruneck) station, and Cortina Express adds Alta Badia to its Venice airport coaches in the high season.
02
i Tablà
GF-servingAt a liftLunch on the slopes
In its own words:Always a gluten-free choice
●Open in summer and in winter («sia d’estate che d’inverno»); dates are not stated on the pages we read.
A family-run hut-restaurant at the top station of the Braia Fraida lift above La Villa, right on the Alta Badia pistes, that says it always has something gluten-free.
The gluten-free angle
Its own site (read 2 November 2026): «c’è sempre qualche proposta senza glutine o senza lattosio», in our English: for guests with food intolerances there is always something gluten-free or lactose-free. The page does not say how those dishes are prepared.
Order
Ask which dish is the gluten-free one that day, and say the sentence.
Watch out
Ask about the fryer and the pasta water before you choose: the site gives no detail on either.
Families: A playground and a welcome for “famiglie con bambini” (families with children), in its own words.
Where can you eat gluten-free when skiing in Val Gardena?
In Val Gardena we name three places: two pizzerias in the villages, in Ortisei (St. Ulrich) and Selva (Wolkenstein), and one hut on the Sella Ronda above Selva. Two hotels in the stays section are here too: Boutique Hotel Nives in Selva and Hotel Villa Madonna at Siusi (Seis), below the Alpe di Siusi. Several huts above Santa Cristina and Ortisei are in our Atlas but showed no gluten-free food on their own websites on 2 November 2026. Regional bus 350 runs from Bolzano bus station through the valley to Ortisei and Selva every day.

●Open at lunch and in the evening (12.00 to 14.00, 17.00 to 21.15, on the page we read); season dates are not stated.
A restaurant-pizzeria on Via Rezia in Ortisei whose menu offers a pizza for coeliacs, for a supplement.
The gluten-free angle
Its menu (read 2 November 2026) lists, among the pizza extras, «Pizza per celiaci: + € 3,50», in German «Glutenfreie Pizza: + € 3,50» and in English “Pizza for celiac disease: + € 3,50”. The menu says its pizzas are baked in a wood oven and does not say how the gluten-free one is kept apart.
Order
The pizza for coeliacs; ask how it is baked.
Watch out
Ask whether the gluten-free pizza goes into the same wood oven as the others, and on what tray.
In its own words:Gluten-free pizza doughGluten-free burger bun
●Closed on Mondays («Lunedì Chiuso»), on the page we read; season dates are not stated.
A pizzeria in Selva, a short walk from the village centre, with a gluten-free dough and a gluten-free bun for its burgers.
The gluten-free angle
Its menu (read 2 November 2026): «Impasto SENZA GLUTINE + 3,00 €» for the pizzas, and «SENZA GLUTINE + 3 €» for the burgers, in our English: gluten-free dough or bun for a supplement. It also lists a gluten-free beer.
Order
A pizza on the gluten-free dough, or a burger on the gluten-free bun without the fries until you know how they are fried.
Watch out
The burgers come with fries and the menu says nothing about the fryer or the oven: ask before you order.

A family-run hut at Plan de Gralba above Selva, right on the Sella Ronda, whose menu has a gluten-free heading with real dishes.
The gluten-free angle
Its own site (read 2 November 2026) has a heading “Gluten-Free” over “Sausage with polenta, lasagne, ribs, eggs with speck and potatoes, goulash soup, buckwheat cake.” (in Italian «Salsiccia con polenta, lasagne, costine, uova speck e patate, minestra di gulasch, torta al grano saraceno.»). Where it is: «Direttamente sulla Sellaronda.» (right on the Sella Ronda); coming from the Ciampinoi on the green loop, you take piste 5, in its own words.
Order
Sausage with polenta or eggs, speck and potatoes from the gluten-free list; ask about the lasagne and the cake.
Watch out
Ask whether the lasagne and the buckwheat cake are made with gluten-free pasta and flour, and how they are kept apart.
Families: A section «Per le Famiglie» (for families): a playground, meadows and a small lake where children can try fishing, in its own words.
Where can you eat gluten-free when skiing in Val di Fassa?
Val di Fassa has the most places on this page: three in Canazei and Alba di Canazei, one in Pozza di Fassa and one in Pera di Fassa. For Campitello and Moena we don’t name a restaurant yet; Moena has a Eurospin with a gluten-free line (see Can you self-cater). Trentino Trasporti bus 101 links Canazei and Moena with Trento, bus 180 runs between Bolzano and Vigo di Fassa over the Passo Carezza (Karerpass), and a paid ski bus runs in the valley from 3 December 2026 to 4 April 2027.

A restaurant on Canazei’s main street that says it can make almost every dish gluten-free on request.
The gluten-free angle
Its own site (read 2 November 2026): «Il nostro menù si presenta molto versatile, dando la possibilità di poter preparare quasi tutte le pietanze su richiesta senza glutine, fa eccezione la pizza e alcune pietanze tipiche.», in our English: almost all dishes can be made gluten-free on request, except the pizza and some typical dishes. Its menu marks those dishes «Su richiesta senza glutine».

Watch out
No gluten-free pizza here, in its own words. Ask which of the typical dishes cannot be made gluten-free.
●Season dates are not stated on the pages we read.
A restaurant in Canazei with a separate gluten-free menu on its website, from fresh pasta to a burger and desserts.
The gluten-free angle
Its gluten-free menu (read 2 November 2026), headed «Piatti senza glutine – Vegetariani», lists «Tagliatelle Artigianali senza glutine» (handmade gluten-free tagliatelle), a burger «con Pane senza glutine, patatine fritte, formaggio locale» (with gluten-free bread, fries and local cheese), «Panna cotta Gluten free» and «Tiramisù 50.12 senza glutine».
Order
The gluten-free tagliatelle, then the gluten-free tiramisù.
Watch out
The gluten-free burger comes with fries and the menu doesn’t say whether the fryer is used only for gluten-free food: ask, or skip the fries.
●The restaurant runs in the tourist season, winter and summer, until 21.00, in its own words («fino alle 21.00»).
A pizzeria in Alba di Canazei, next to the Ciampac cable car, that calls itself a pizzeria for skiers and offers a gluten-free dough.

Where it is: «Ci trovate vicino alla funivia del Ciampac e Dolèda-Col dei Rossi» (next to the Ciampac and Dolèda-Col dei Rossi lifts), and «potete raggiungerci facilmente anche dalle piste da sci» (you can reach us from the pistes).
Order

●«Aperto Tutti i Giorni» (open every day), on the page we read; season dates are not stated.
A restaurant-pizzeria in Pozza di Fassa that explains on its menu how it makes its gluten-free pizza.
The gluten-free angle
Its menu (read 2 November 2026): «Per gli intolleranti al glutine prepariamo la pizza utilizzando una base surgelata e con tutte le precauzioni provvediamo alla farcitura delle stesse con gli ingredienti richiesti. Le pizze senza glutine prevedono la maggiorazione di € 1.», in our English: we make the pizza on a frozen gluten-free base and top it with the ingredients you ask for, taking every precaution; gluten-free pizzas cost €1 more. Its home page also lists «Piatti senza glutine».
Order
A pizza on the gluten-free base, with simple toppings.
Watch out
Ask how the gluten-free pizza is baked and on what tray: the menu speaks of precautions without describing the oven.
Families: «Porzioni ridotte per bambini, consigliate fino ai 4/5 anni.» (smaller portions for children up to about 4 or 5).
GF-servingIn the villageBreakfast, piadina & a quick meal
In its own words:Gluten-free on requestTell staff when you order

The village bar in Pera di Fassa, known for its rolled piadina, that says it can prepare gluten-free food.
The gluten-free angle
Its own site (read 2 November 2026): «Abbiamo la possibilità di preparare pietanze senza glutine, chiedi al personale per maggiori informazioni.» (we can prepare gluten-free dishes, ask the staff for more information) and «Comunicaci la tua intolleranza al momento dell’ordine.» (tell us about your intolerance when you order).
Order
Ask the staff what they can make gluten-free that day, as the site suggests.
Watch out
The site doesn’t say which dishes: ask before you order, and ask how the gluten-free piadina or bread is heated.
Where can you eat gluten-free when skiing in Arabba?
In Arabba we name one hut, Ütia La Tambra on the Passo Campolongo, on the Sella Ronda between Arabba and Corvara. The other places our Atlas holds in Arabba showed no gluten-free food on their own websites, or had none, on 2 November 2026. Arabba has a Despar supermarket (see Can you self-cater), and Dolomiti Bus line 3 connects it with Caprile, Alleghe and Agordo.

●Open in winter from 08:30 to 17:00, in its own words («Aperto inverno 08:30 – 17:00»).
A hut at 1875 metres on the Passo Campolongo, on the Sella Ronda, whose menu has its own gluten-free section.
The gluten-free angle
Its menu (read 2 November 2026) has a section «Senza glutine» with «Lasagne alla bolognese», «Cannelloni ricotta e spinaci», «Pizza margherita», «Entrecôte di manzo alpino con spinaci al burro e patate saltate» and «Tiramisù». Where it is, in its words: «Ci trovi sul Passo Campolongo lungo il Sellaronda» (on the Passo Campolongo, along the Sella Ronda).

Families: A «Per i nostri bambini» (for our children) section on its menu.
The Civetta ski area around Alleghe, Selva di Cadore and Val di Zoldo has 72 km of slopes, 23 lifts and 17 huts, and its lift company calls it «la porta di accesso al Dolomiti Superski» (the gateway to Dolomiti Superski) (Ski Civetta, read 2 November 2026). We don’t name a place to eat there on this page. Your gluten-free base is the supermarket: Margherita Conad has branches in Val di Zoldo and in Selva di Cadore (see Can you self-cater). At a hut, say the sentence and ask the four questions further down, early and before the lunch rush. Dolomiti Bus line 3 (Agordo, Caprile, Arabba) stops at Alleghe Piazza. If you know a place in the Civetta area that cooks gluten-free, tell us: hello@howtoglutenfree.com.
07 · SELLA RONDA
Where can you eat gluten-free on the Sella Ronda?
Two places on this page sit on the Sella Ronda in their own words: Baita Vallongia at Plan de Gralba above Selva, on piste 5, and Ütia La Tambra on the Passo Campolongo between Arabba and Corvara. El Binocol in Alba di Canazei is next to the Dolèda-Col dei Rossi lift, which it says takes you onto the circuit.
The Sella Ronda goes round the Sella group over four passes (Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella and Gardena) and through five resorts: Corvara and Colfosco in Alta Badia, Arabba, Canazei and Selva di Val Gardena. It is 40 km including the lifts, 26 km of it on slopes, signposted orange clockwise and green anticlockwise, and the Alta Badia tourist board says to allow about 6 hours (read 2 November 2026). Carry a gluten-free snack: the hut you planned on may be busy or off your direction.
08
Where can you stay gluten-free on a Dolomites ski holiday?
Three hotels in these ski areas write about gluten-free food on their own sites; we quote each as it describes itself, we haven’t stayed, and we don’t rate hotels. Where a hotel speaks of checks by AIC or membership of AIC, the Italian coeliac association, that is the hotel’s own claim: AIC lists places in its network, it does not certify them. Confirm gluten-free breakfast and dinner when you book.
○Hotel Villa Madonna · Siusi (Seis), below the Alpe di Siusi · in its own words «Una cucina dedicata al senza glutine e separata, un cuoco esclusivo per tale cucina» (a separate kitchen dedicated to gluten-free, with its own cook); «gli ospiti esterni possono venire a trovarci e ordinare specialità à la carte» (guests from outside can come and order à la carte); it says its kitchen is «sottoposta a controlli periodici da parte dell’AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia)» (checked periodically by AIC); in winter, «dallo sci alle ciaspolate in inverno» (from skiing to snowshoeing) from the hotel · Via Henrik Ibsen 29, 39040 Siusi allo Sciliar↗ Its own site · read 2 November 2026

Can you self-cater gluten-free in the Dolomites?
Yes. Three supermarket chains with a gluten-free own-brand line have branches in the ski areas on this page. Conad: «Conad Alimentum è il tuo alleato quotidiano, una linea che raccoglie prodotti Senza Glutine» (Alimentum, a line of gluten-free products). Despar: «I prodotti Free From senza glutine sono certificati dal marchio Spiga Barrata» (its Free From gluten-free products carry the Spiga Barrata, the crossed-grain mark). Eurospin says that in its Amo Essere Senza Glutine range «ogni prodotto della gamma è verificato dall’AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia) e riporta chiaramente il marchio Spiga Barrata sulla confezione» (every product is checked by AIC and carries the Spiga Barrata). All three read on their own sites on 2 November 2026.
Stock varies from shop to shop: read the label of every pack, every time. We name these shops for sealed, labelled products only; a bread counter or deli inside a shop is a kitchen of its own. Each branch address is from the chain’s own store page, read 2 November 2026. More chains and named products: gluten-free supermarkets in Italy, chain by chain.

What do you say at a mountain hut?
Say the sentence before you order, every time, in Italian or in German, whichever the staff speak with you.
Sono celiaco/a. Non posso mangiare glutine e devo evitare anche la contaminazione con farina di grano, pane, pasta, pizza, briciole e olio di frittura condiviso.
In German:
Ich habe Zöliakie. Ich kann kein Gluten essen und muss auch Kreuzkontakt mit Weizenmehl, Brot, Pasta, Pizza, Krümeln und gemeinsam genutztem Frittieröl vermeiden.
I have coeliac disease. I cannot eat gluten, and I also need to avoid cross-contact with wheat flour, bread, pasta, pizza, crumbs and shared frying oil.
Then the four questions that matter on the mountain
Ask early, before the lunch rush, and if a hut is on your route the next day, ask the day before.
Per il fritto, c'è una friggitrice dedicata al senza glutine?
Gibt es beim Frittierten eine eigene glutenfreie Fritteuse?
For fried food, is there a fryer used only for gluten-free?
La pasta senza glutine la cuocete in una pentola e acqua separate?
Kocht ihr die glutenfreie Pasta in einem eigenen Topf mit frischem Wasser?
Is the gluten-free pasta cooked in its own pot and water?
Avete prodotti senza glutine confezionati, per esempio pane o dolci in confezione chiusa?
Habt ihr glutenfreie Produkte in geschlossener Packung, zum Beispiel Brot oder Kuchen?
Do you have sealed gluten-free products, such as bread or cake in a closed pack?
Posso ordinare il piatto senza glutine in anticipo, per domani?
Kann ich das glutenfreie Gericht schon für morgen vorbestellen?
Can I order the gluten-free dish ahead, for tomorrow?

How do you get to the Dolomites ski areas?
Below are four airports, Venice, Bolzano, Verona and Innsbruck, and the bus or train for the last stretch. All of these come from the operators’ own pages, read on 2 November 2026:
Venice Marco Polo: Cortina Express says its coaches “connect every day throughout the year Cortina d’Ampezzo with Venice airport and Mestre station”, and that in the high winter and summer season they also serve Alta Badia. Dolomiti Bus lists a Cortina to Venice line in its winter timetables (10 September 2026 to 8 June 2027).
Bolzano: SkyAlps flies scheduled routes to Bolzano airport, with a winter programme. City buses 10A and 10B stop at the start of the airport road, about 600 m on foot from the terminal. From Bolzano bus station, regional bus 350 runs into Val Gardena (Ortisei, Selva), and bus 180 runs to Vigo di Fassa over the Passo Carezza (Karerpass).
Verona: the Verona Airlink bus links the airport with Porta Nuova station in 15 minutes (ATV). ÖBB lists direct trains Venice, Verona, Bolzano, Innsbruck, Munich; from Trento, Trentino Trasporti bus 101 runs to Moena and Canazei.
Innsbruck: bus line F runs from the airport to Innsbruck main station in about 20 minutes, and ÖBB lists direct trains from Innsbruck to Bolzano.
Alta Badia, Arabba and Alleghe: regional bus 460 links Alta Badia with Brunico (Bruneck); Dolomiti Bus line 3 runs Agordo, Caprile (with a stop at Alleghe Piazza) and Arabba.
Between valleys in winter: the bus over the Passo Gardena (line 473) ran in summer 2026 only, and Val di Fassa’s buses to the Sella and Pordoi passes are summer only too, so in winter you cross on skis or by road. In Val di Fassa, a paid ski bus with 13 routes runs from 3 December 2026 to 4 April 2027.
Good to know
“Senza glutine” on a label means no more than 20 mg of gluten per kg, under EU Regulation 828/2014. “Può contenere tracce” (may contain traces) is voluntary information under EU law (Commission Notice 2022/C 355/01), so the ingredient list and the senza glutine claim decide.
AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia) is Italy’s national coeliac association, founded in 1979. When a restaurant or hotel mentions AIC, that is its own claim, shown as it makes it.
Seasons: several huts and restaurants whose sites we read close between seasons, and several give early December as their winter opening. Check before you go: every entry shows its season as the venue states it.
It depends on the kitchen, not the resort. None of the 11 places we name says it is a gluten-free-only kitchen; each describes gluten-free dishes in its own words (read 2 November 2026), so ask about the fryer, the oven and the pasta water every time. Supermarkets in every ski area on this page sell sealed gluten-free products.
Are there gluten-free-only huts on the slopes in the Dolomites?
Not that we can name: none of the huts we read on 2 November 2026 calls itself gluten-free only. Ütia La Tambra on the Passo Campolongo and Baita Vallongia above Selva have gluten-free sections on their menus, and i Tablà at the top of the Braia Fraida lift in Alta Badia says it always has a gluten-free choice.
Can you buy gluten-free food in the Dolomites ski villages?
Yes. Conad (Alimentum Senza Glutine), Despar (Free From) and Eurospin (Amo Essere Senza Glutine) have gluten-free own-brand lines and 13 branches in the ski areas on this page, from Cortina to Moena; we read their own pages on 2 November 2026. Stock varies, so read every label.
What should coeliacs ask at a mountain hut?
Say that you have coeliac disease, then ask whether there is a fryer used only for gluten-free food, whether gluten-free pasta gets its own pot and water, and whether they have sealed gluten-free products such as bread. Ask early, before the lunch rush, or the day before.
Which airport is best for a gluten-free ski trip to the Dolomites?
It depends on the valley. Venice has daily coaches to Cortina all year, and to Alta Badia in the high season (Cortina Express); Bolzano airport has SkyAlps flights, and Bolzano bus station has buses into Val Gardena (350) and towards Val di Fassa (180); from Verona and Innsbruck you continue by train to Bolzano or Trento, then by bus. Operators’ pages read 2 November 2026.
