On the Slopes
The main slopes all run down the side of the Canazei Mountain with the ski bus and Belvedere service as the main form of transportation. The highest altitude at the Canazei di Fassa resort reaches 1460m which is also the largest vertical drop as well among the 20 slopes. The Canazei ski resort is challenging to those who are beginners or intermediates but is not a great place for expert skiers. Also, presently there is not a snow park for snowboarders, but as the Canazei di Fassa ski resort continues to expand this is one thing you can expect to see along with more slopes for all levels of expertise.
Ski Area
If you ski Campitello di Fassa you are also in the ski region of Val di Fassa.
Off the Slopes
While you are not on the slopes you can stay busy taking one of the many snowshoe trails through the scenic Canazei local town area or inside by the fireplace of the Canazei di Fassa ski resort.
You may also want to plan meals out in town as the pure authentic Italian food of the Canazei locals is practically to die for. A friendly hint for people who are on holiday for more than just the slopes, there are plenty of nightclubs and bars to frequent but the locals do not usually venture out until after midnight. Thus you may want to wait until later for the real party to get started if you want to experience the true night scene of the Canazei di Fassa outside of nighttime skiing.
Who's it Best For?
We think this is a great ski resort for beginners and intermediates,but with the Dolomiti Superski slopes easily accessible, the skiing is good here for all levels.
