About Canazei
Canazei is the main resort village in the Val di Fassa, positioned at 1,465m at the foot of the Sella massif and serving as the most convenient starting point for the legendary Sellaronda ski circuit — a 40km loop around the Sella Group that passes through four Ladin-speaking valleys and four ski areas. The surrounding Dolomiti Superski domain offers access to over 1,200km of connected piste across 12 valleys, making Canazei's location one of the most strategically valuable in Italian skiing. The pink-tinted Dolomite towers that ring the valley create an extraordinary theatrical landscape at dawn and dusk that is unlike anything in the western Alps.
