Sassolungo & Sassopiatto · Val Gardena
Built in Val Gardena

Not inspired
by the Alps.
Made inside them.

Ski Run was created by someone who operates a ski lift for a living. Every morning, the same mountains. The same slopes. The same cold. The same quiet before the resort opens.

That's not a marketing angle. It's just where the studio is. Val Gardena, South Tyrol — one of the most iconic ski destinations in the Alps, and the place where Dolomites Interactive was founded.

What We Stand For

Built on six
principles.

Alpine Spirit
Rooted in Val Gardena. Every product carries the character of the Dolomites.
Simplicity
We remove everything that isn't necessary. Simple products are harder to build — and more honest to use.
Innovation
We use current tools — AI, web technologies, mobile — to build things that weren't possible before.
Authenticity
No pretense. We are a small studio. We say what we are, build what we say.
Adventure
We take risks. The best products come from exploring unknown terrain.
Craft
Details matter. Code quality, visual precision, sound — every layer deserves attention.
"To build games we're proud of —
rooted in the Alps, made with craft,
played by people who appreciate both."
Development Status

Built with real
player feedback.

Ski Run is currently being tested by real players before release. Gameplay, controls, difficulty and progression are continuously refined through feedback.

Our Story

A studio born
from the mountains.

The Studio

Who we are.

Dolomites Interactive is an independent game and digital studio based in Val Gardena, South Tyrol, Italy. Founded in 2025 by a single person who loves mountains, games, and building things with care.

The Founder

Not an outsider
looking in.

Dolomites Interactive was founded by someone who doesn't just visit the Dolomites — he works here. As a ski lift operator and tourism professional in Val Gardena, the founder knows these slopes, these conditions, and this culture from the inside.

That's the difference between a studio that found inspiration on a travel blog and one that built its first game about the mountain outside the office window.

Benjamin Saurer
Founder · Dolomites Interactive

Benjamin is a ski lift operator and tourism entrepreneur based in Val Gardena, South Tyrol. Unlike most game developers, he doesn't experience mountain culture from the outside — he works in it every day. Dolomites Interactive was created to transform authentic alpine experiences into digital products.

The Place

Val Gardena
is not a backdrop.

Val Gardena is a valley in the heart of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Sassolungo and Sassopiatto massifs define its skyline. The slopes — Cadepunt, Dantercepies, Ciampinoi, Saslong, Plan de Gralba — are world-class runs known from the World Cup circuit.

This is where Dolomites Interactive was born. Not as a theme, but as a reason. We build games that could only come from here.

How We Work

Our principles.

  • 1
    One thing done right
    Better to ship one excellent product than three average ones. Every feature is considered, tested, and refined. The same standard applies to everything we build.
  • 2
    Real places, real names
    Cadepunt, Saslong, Ciampinoi — these are real slopes in Val Gardena. We use real names, real geography, real culture. No invented fantasy worlds when the real world is this beautiful.
  • 3
    Mobile-first, always
    Most people play on their phone. Every product is designed for a small screen first, then scaled up. Not the other way around.
  • 4
    No intrusive ads, no dark patterns
    We don't use manipulative monetization mechanics. Whatever model we choose, it will never exploit player attention or interrupt the experience. The player comes first.
  • 5
    Feedback over assumption
    We test with real users before every major release. Player feedback shapes the product — not internal assumptions.
  • 6
    Build in public, grow with trust
    A small studio grows through trust, word of mouth, and the quality of its work — not through marketing spend.
