Val di Fassa. Ski and Lifestyle in Dolomites.
The Val di Fassa is one of the most beloved valleys of Trentino. Here you’ll find some of the most renowned peaks of the Dolomites: the Vajolet towers (part of the Catinaccio group the Torri del Vajolet are probably among the most photographed peaks in the Dolomites), the Piz Boè and the Sassolungo- Langkofel.
​
Val di Fassa is part of the ladin area in Dolomites. Local persons from these valleys speak normally ladin among them.

Canazei is located in a beautiful natural basin at the foot of one of the most evocative peaks of the Dolomites. Canazei, with its four outlying areas of Gries, Chieva, Alba, and Penia, is surely the most renowned town of Val di Fassa nationally and internationally due to its strategic position by the Dolomite passes of Pordoi, Sella, and Fedaia.
In winter Canazei is the skiing capital of Val di Fassa, placed right in the heart of the Sellaronda Skitour and Dolomiti Superski.
The mountain hut Rifugio Maria offers the best view atop the Dolomites in Trentino: it is an extraordinary belvedere 2,950 m a.s.l. towards the Marmolada, Sassolungo, Ortles, Cevedale, the Grossglockner and the Tyrolean Alps. Past the slopes of the Sass Becé Tour (Canazei-Arabba-Pordoi), you climb up with the cable car to Sass Pordoi. Freeriders can ski downhill along the Forcella Pordoi, Val Lastìes or Val Mezdì.
​
A true paradise for skiing enthusiasts, the mountains of the valley are the ideal environment for your winter experience. Besides skiing, a holiday in the Val di Fassa also means treating yourself to a well-earned rest. Here it is almost obligatory to relax under the winter sun on the terraces of mountain huts or lodges and enjoy some of the local cuisine.
