So what's it like?
The exhilarating skiing of the Dolomites and an unmistakable Italian atmosphere
The Fassa Valley lies in the heart of the fabulous Dolomites mountains, protected in 2009 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The villages of Canazei and Campitello are just 2 kilometres apart and set below the Sella Ronda Circuit and offers access to an incredible 1,200km of the Dolomiti Superski area. There’s plenty of terrain here to impress even the most seasoned expert – including a high-speed World Cup run for those with truly spectacular skills to show off – and yet absolute beginners will feel equally at home here, with plenty of easier slopes to try.
Ski information
Beginners
Novices at Canazei can start on the village slope before taking the Belvedere gondola to the wide, undulating runs at Pecol. Campitello has one beginners' run at village level and at the top of the Col Rodella cable car several blue runs.
Intermediates
From Canazei and Campitello there is direct access to the famous Sella Ronda. This 26kms route encircles the Sella Massif and can be used to ski the extensive areas of Arabba, Corvara, Colfosco and Val Gardena.
Advanced
The main challenge for experts will be to put as much mileage as possible under their skis. Try the run under the cable car at Alba or the Men's Downhill runs in Val Gardena and La Villa. The north facing slopes at nearby Arabba provide some of the most challenging skiing in the Dolomites.
Nightlife
Plenty of jolly, unpretentious bars, where the atmosphere is always cheerful and convivial. In Canazei try: · The Stua dei Ladins, Montanara Bar, Rosengarten, Speckkellar bar and Lieber Augustin. In Campitello try: · Da Giulio, Ton Tin rock and Chalet One which always has a party 'till the early hours.
Activities
Ice skating (Alba, Campitello & Pozza), bowling (Alba), cross-country skiing, night skiing (Pozza di Fassa), snowshoe walking, paragliding, ice hockey matches (Alba)
Eating out
Good choice of cafés, pizzerias and restaurants, most at extremely reasonable prices · Pizzas from approx. 5 · 3-course dinners from approx. 16 · In Canazei the Kaiserstube, Pizzeria Italia, La Stalla, El Pael or El Cervena.
