Unforgettable holidays in our beautiful Val di Fassa, where the Ladin language is spoken and you live among mountains that are unique in the world, the Dolomites, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 2009!
Val di Fassa, located in the heart of the Trentino Dolomites, is one of the most fascinating Alpine destinations, capable of conquering every visitor with its natural beauty, rich Ladin culture and a wide range of activities for all seasons. Surrounded by majestic peaks such as Catinaccio, Sassolungo and Marmolada, the valley offers a unique panorama, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
In summer, Val di Fassa is a true paradise for nature and outdoor sports lovers. The numerous hiking trails wind through woods, flowery meadows and breathtaking views, suitable for both beginners and experts. For the more adventurous, there is no shortage of via ferratas, climbing walls and mountain bike trails of varying difficulty. Thrill seekers can try paragliding, flying over unique landscapes, while those seeking tranquility can relax with walks in the picturesque villages, rich in tradition and history. Furthermore, the Alpine lakes and welcoming refuges are perfect for a break immersed in nature.
In winter, the valley transforms into a major destination for snow sports. With over 200 kilometers of perfectly groomed slopes and modern ski lifts, it is the ideal place for alpine skiing and snowboarding. Val di Fassa is part of the famous Dolomiti Superski circuit, including the famous Sellaronda, which allows you to ski around the Sella massif without ever taking your skis off. Nordic skiers can explore loops immersed in the quiet of the woods, while those who love snow in a more relaxed way can go snowshoeing or horse-drawn sleigh rides. For the little ones, there are snow play areas and dedicated ski schools.
In addition to sports activities, Val di Fassa offers moments of relaxation and well-being in its thermal centers and spas, where you can regenerate after an active day.

Val di Fassa is not just nature and sports, but also culture and tradition. Local events, such as festivals and historical reenactments, offer the opportunity to discover the rich Ladin heritage, while museums and visitor centers allow you to deepen your knowledge of the area and its people.
Whether for an active holiday or a relaxing getaway, Val di Fassa is the ideal destination in every season, capable of giving emotions and unforgettable memories.
Vigo di Fassa
Vigo di Fassa is the sunniest town in the valley. Situated at the foot of the Catinaccio, in a dominant position, it was for centuries the seat of the legal, administrative and religious authority of the valley. Vigo di Fassa is directly connected to Bolzano, which is only 35 km away, via the Costalunga Pass (also known as the Carezza Pass or Karerpass). From a tourist point of view, Vigo di Fassa offers a wide choice of hotels and apartments. From the town centre, a cable car takes you in just a few minutes directly to Ciampedie, a true garden and balcony overlooking the Dolomites with a panorama that is unique in the world. Here, the opportunities for fun and relaxation are linked to the season: in winter, the facilities of the Catinaccio Ski Area and in summer, countless excursion possibilities through the Catinaccio group (of note are the Vael, the Torri del Vajolet and the Antermoia). Returning to the village, it is worth mentioning the two ancient, splendid Gothic churches: Santa Giuliana, patron saint of the valley (early 1500s) and the Pieve di San Giovanni (second half of the 1400s) in the hamlet of the same name, an ancient and current parish church, as well as the greatest religious and artistic expression of the valley.
