Val Di Fassa is an IKON Pass Resort
Val di Fassa-Canazei is a premier Dolomiti Superski resort in Italy's Dolomites, offering direct access to the 16 mile Sellaronda circuit and over 130 miles of linked slopes. Located at 4,806 feet with high-altitude skiing up to 8,655 feet, it is ideal for intermediate skiers and families, featuring a lively village, extensive snowmaking, and scenic, high-alpine terrain.
The valley is divided into several distinct zones, each catering to different skill levels:
- Belvedere (Canazei) & Col Rodella (Campitello) The most popular hubs, offering wide, sunny intermediate runs and the primary gateway to the Sellaronda.
- Buffaure (Pozza) & Ciampac (Alba) Known for scenic vistas and the challenging "Ciampac" black run that descends into the valley.
- Alpe Lusia (Moena) & San Pellegrino Features broad, well-groomed slopes ideal for families and early intermediates.
- Catinaccio (Vigo di Fassa) A quieter area often preferred during poor weather for its tree-lined trails.
Val di Fassa Resort is part of the Dolomiti Superski Circuit
With the Dolomiti Superski ski pass, you can also travel around the nearby valleys and follow some of the best-known circuits, including the Sellaronda and the First World War Tour.
The Dolomiti Superski is spread over an area of about 741,000 acres in the North-East of Italy, and includes most of the winter ski slopes of the Dolomites. The area consists of 16 ski areas spread over 12 resorts, a total of 774 miles of slopes, 450 ski lifts, it is the largest ski area in the world:
