Ski and board rentals
Renting your equipment through Inghams makes sense, for everything will be sorted out beforehand and is ready for your arrival in resort.
You can rent your equipment (blue, red and black grade equipment for hire) and the collection point is the RightFeeling rental store which is situated near the base of the Belvedere Gondola in Canazei.
Ski school
We run a very popular ‘Learn to Ski’ pack for complete beginners which includes five days of tuition for adults.
If you are looking to book your children in to ski school, then they can receive daily tuition with the excellent Marmolada ski school
Val di Fassa for beginners
If you’re brand new to skiing and snowboarding, we recommend you book your first lessons with Inghams, and make the most of our ‘Learn to Ski’ pack- a hugely popular choice with our guests.
The Marmolada ski school gathers in a variety of places- complete beginners may be asked to assemble behind the ski school office opposite the Belvedere Gondola but as you gain confidence you will soon be heading up to the bowl above Canazei at the top of the gondola where there is a selection of blue and red runs.
A local Val di Fassa lift pass is available and recommended for complete beginners only.
Val di Fassa for intermediates
The Dolomiti Superski area is an absolute heaven for the intermediate skier! The sheer size of the resort with over 1,000km worth of pistes will give you something different to do every day of the week.
Canazei is located directly on the Sella Ronda circuit- a 26km circuit that can be skied in either direction (clockwise or anticlockwise) around the stunning Sella massif, one of the most famous mountains in the dolomites.
Intermediate skiers will enjoy the challenge of skiing the whole circuit in one day whilst expert skiers have been known to ski both directions on the same day! The Sella Ronda can also be used as a link to all the nearby resorts such as Selva, Arabba, La Villa and Corvara.
As well as as the skiing, the Sella Ronda is perfect for enjoying the fantastic Dolomites scenery with views of the famous pink rocks that set this mountain range apart from the rest of the Alps.
Also reachable from Val di Fassa is the Marmolada glacier which offers snow-sure high altitude skiing with amazing views.
Val di Fassa for advanced
Off-piste skiing is not permitted in the Dolomites, but advanced skiers can try heli-skiing if they dare. Arabba, which is just a couple of runs away from Canazei offers some of the most challenging runs in the Dolomites with some steep blacks. Or you may like to head over to Selva for the men’s and women’s World Cup downhill run.
One of the big draws to this area is the famous Hidden Valley. The Hidden Valley is an incredibly beautiful run right in the heart of the Dolomites with scenic peaks all around you and frozen waterfalls by the side of the piste. Where the run flattens out you find horses (pay locally, approx €2.50 pp) to help pull you along until you find the next lift that will take you into the San Cassiano ski area. Return to Val di Fassa by bus.
Freestyle and terrain parks
Sitting directly above Canazei (at the top of the Belvedere Gondola) is a terrain park that will appeal to snowboarders and adventurous skiers alike. If you’re searching for a variety of freestyle and terrain parks, the whole area has an excellent variation and you shouldn’t be afraid to explore further afield.
Childcare and kindergarten
If you have little ones that you want to introduce to snow, or simply need minding for an afternoon, then the Marmolada Ski School Kinderland is a fun and occupying place to leave the kids for a day. Most of the nannies and skiing instructors speak English and they currently accept children aged three and above.
Public Transport
There is a convenient ski bus that runs between Canazei and Pozza and connects the main Belvedere gondola to the rest of the valley. Buses run frequently and every Inghams hotels in Canazei and Campitello has easy access.
Ask your resort rep upon your arrival in resort for an up to date time table because the ski bus service varies throughout the season.
