Ortisei is a family-friendly destination, and its kids’ snow and adventure parks are a huge draw. I highly recommend checking out the local playgrounds—they're right in the town center, super convenient, and best of all, there's no need for a cable car ticket to get there.

Some of the playgrounds and adventure parks in Ortisei that are perfect for families include:

1. Parco Giochi Ortisei - Str. Sotria, 60, 39046 Ortisei BZ, Italy
   Located in the heart of town, this charming playground is ideal for younger children. It features swings, slides, climbing structures, and plenty of space to run around. Plus, it’s just a short stroll from cafés and shops—perfect for a relaxing break while the kids play.

2. Adventure Park & Fly Line " Emozion Col de Flam"
   Just a few minutes from the center of Ortisei, this adventure park is packed with fun for all ages. 

3. If you're visiting Ortisei in winter, don't miss the chance to try one of the longest sledge runs in Italy – Rasciesa, stretching for an impressive 4.9 kilometers. To reach it, head to the Rasciesa funicular station in Ortisei. You can rent a sledge right next to the ticket office before boarding the funicular (note: it's a train, not a cable car). The ride includes a middle stop – don’t get off there! That’s actually where you’ll return after sledging down from the top. Once you're at the summit, enjoy the exhilarating descent and then decide whether to head back up for another round or call it a day and return to the base. Depending on snow conditions, we  highly recommend bringing protective glasses – the ride can get fast, and snow and ice often splash up into your face. After just three runs, we were already worn out, so in our opinion, a full-day ticket isn’t really necessary. If you already have a Dolomiti Superski Pass or Val Gardena Pass, you can use it for the Rasciesa funicular as well.
