Canazei

Ladin traditions and modern tourism in the Trentino area blend together in Canazei, in the Val di Fassa

Canazei is a town that is splendid all year round. It is just as marvellous in summer as it is in winter; it is extremely pleasant to arrange meetings here in the heart of the Val di Fassa whether for a thrilling skiing holiday or for a relaxing getaway immersed in the natural settings of the Dolomites.

Tourism, what a thrill!
Canazei is the highest municipality in the Val di Fassa and it is at the foot of some of the highest peaks in the world
(including the Marmolada, the Gran Vernel, the Sasso Pordoi and the legendary rock castle of theSella mountain group) where only approximately 1,800 inhabitants live. It goes without saying that the main activity here is tourism, considering the beauty of this area that represent one of the main alpine tourist centres in the world.

Canazei in summer
In summer, the meadows, enchanted woods and the Dolomites are the undisputed protagonists. This natural setting offers tourists that come from all over the world (thanks to the many modern ski lifts) the most panoramic itineraries where they can go trekking and Nordic walking, as well as being able to go on trips along equipped or fixed- aid climbing routes, and for the more daring tourists it is also possible to go rock climbing, maybe with the aid of the extremely experienced mountain guides of the Sport Check Point.
Moreover, the Val di Fassa is well-connected thanks to a fantastic cycle path that is accessible to everyone, while extremely suggestive mountain bike routes have been especially created for the most experienced cyclists.

Also Ladin traditions provide ideas and events where folklore can be combined with entertainment: as regards this, we would like to point out the Te anter i tobiè event (where the ancient, characteristic barns are opened in order to rediscover the life and professions of yesteryear) or the Gran festa da d´istà held in September in order to say goodbye to summer.

Canazei in winter
Skiing in Canazei and in the Val di Fassa is the reason most of the tourists come to this area. The proverbial skiing holiday in the Trentino area assumes fairy tale-like characteristics thanks to the modern facilities, efficient links and the presence of the most beautiful mountains.
Canazei is part of the Dolomiti Superski circuit and it is directly connected to the Giro del Sellaronda (Sellaronda skitour) or the Giro dei Quattro Passi (Quattro Passi skitour), one of the largest ski resorts in Europe.

Cross-country skiing enthusiasts are spoilt for choice: an example of this is the Ciampac circuit at a height of 2,100 metres, or the legendary and extremely famous Marcialonga circuit, while for those who love the unspoilt nature of the Val Di Fassa, it is possible to follow the snow shoeing or ski mountaineering routes.

Whether in summer or in winter, visiting the Val di Fassa is always exciting, better still if it can be enjoyed with the convenience and services of the holiday apartments in Canazei at the Residence Villa Avisio.
