Canazei

Italy

SellaRonda Can

The upside

  • Stunning, unique Dolomite scenery
  • Vast network of connected slopes on the Sella Ronda - suits intermediates particularly well.

The downside

  • They need it: natural snowfall is erratic in this southerly region
  • Few challenges, and off-piste limited - possibly banned in places

  • Single run to resort level is often closed
  • Crowds on the Sella Ronda circuit
  • Few off-slope diversions

Summary

Canazei is a sizeable town in Trentino’s Val di Fassa – a fabulously scenic region that is rather neglected by the British. The cobbled streets, modern hotels and traditional-style buildings are attractively set beneath the most heavily wooded section of the Sella Ronda circuit. The main gondola takes you up to the circuit, with its vast network of lifts and runs leading around a mighty and spectacular limestone massif. Individual runs maybe short and predominantly easy but the distances you can cover on skis are huge, making the area great for mile-hungry intermediates. And the extensive snowmaking is some of Europe’s best.
