Santa Cristina lies on the sunny side of Val Gardena, in front of the Sassolungo, at an altitude of 1,428 m above sea level. It is a pleasant location in both winter and summer, and it offers easy access to all ski slopes, being at the base of the Monte Pana, Ciampinoi, and Col Raiser lifts. Santa Cristina's special vitality may be felt either in its square and most modern and friendly hotels or in the solitary farms of "Plesdinaz".
