Discover Canazei
- Soak up Dolomite mountain panoramas at the Belvedere Viewpoint
- Savour local food specialities; from canederli to kaiserschmarrn
- Explore famous Giro D'Italia cycling trails
Canazei (Cianacei in the local language of Ladin) is tucked amongst the sky-scraping peaks of Val di Fassa – including the Marmolada, the highest mountain in the Dolomites. Summer lifts winch hikers and cyclists up to the all-you-can-explore buffet of footpaths and mountain top via ferrata routes. Back in town, the pedestrian-friendly streets of Canazei make for a wonderful wander. Duck into inns and restaurants with elaborately carved wooden balconies and pick up souvenirs in farm and wine shops selling Ladin specialities unique to this once-isolated region.
Cable cars and mountain trails lead the way to the Pordoi Pass, where viewpoints offer incredible views over the Dolomites; and the 28 hairpin bends of the Giro d’Italia far, far below. In this region, cyclists can tackle the challenging climbs of the cols, weave through forests on the valley floor, and dive into bike park trails. In the summer, many of the cable cars welcome bikes on board, transforming the Marmolada, Sella and Sassolungo mountains into cycling routes for almost every ability. This is the ideal place to visit if active summer holidays are your cup of tea.
Val di Fassa is one of the five Ladin valleys in northern Italy. Italian, German and English are all widely spoken here, but most townspeople name Ladin as their first language. Try “bun dé!” for hello and “giulan!” for thank you when exploring the more traditional mountain huts, bars and bakeries in town. These are the best places to try culinary Ladin specialities such as fig-filled cajoncie ravioli and the family favourite kaisershmarrn; Tyrolean pancakes piled with blueberry jam. Festivals materialise all summer long too, including the Gran Festa d’istà – when people from all five Ladin valleys get together to celebrate with music, food, drink and dance. The festivals are fun for all age groups and a fantastic opportunity to get to know the local culture on your holiday.
From orienteering and e-biking to easy walking with cable car access – the mountains around Canazei are a great playground for families. Just don’t forget the actual playgrounds, like Fassa Park’s trampolines, paddling pools and bike hire centre. Dòlaondes is the place for zooming down waterslides and splashing about in swimming pools with wrap-around views of the Dolomites; along with a spa treatment or two for the grown-ups. We love cooling down in the waterparks on a hot summer's day.
Buses
Buses are free to use in the area with your Val di Fassa card (see the Cards & Passes tab for more information), so they're an affordable way to travel to different walking locations and nearby towns.
Lifts
For getting up to some of the best walking areas around, the lifts are indispensable. Most lifts are open from approx. mid-June to mid-September, for more detail on the lifts and their opening times visit the Val di Fassa website.
If you're planning on exploring the area from high up, we'd recommend purchasing the Panorama Pass for your holiday which gives you access to 32 lifts in the Val di Fassa area- you'll be spoilt for choice (and views)! For more information on the Panorama Pass visit the Cards & Passes tab.
Get the most out of your summer in Val di Fassa with a lift pass that lets you hop on all 31 lifts as often as you like. Choose from 3, 6 or 7 consecutive days of unlimited access, and if you’re travelling with little ones, children aged up to eight go free. You’ll also enjoy a handy discount at the Dòlaondes aquatic centre — perfect for a post-walk swim. You can pick up your pass on the Mio Trentino app, online, or at the information offices in Canazei.
