Fassa Valley

One of the best ski resorts around sellaronda and generally in Dolomites. Runs are set in unbelievably beautiful scenery, they are not to difficult, well managed. Cons: runs are not so long, maybe few will find but it’s not great runs like in Val Gardena. It’s also bit pricey but quality is good. It’s much better in my opinion then arabba always in a shadow, here you can enjoy sun for many hours even in late December like we were. And the views: one of the best in Dolomites

Some of the famous hiking trails around the valley: 1. Vajolet Towers Hike - Length: 14 km round trip - Duration: 6-7 hours - Difficulty: Challenging This trail is one of the most iconic hikes in the Dolomites, taking you to the base of the Vajolet Towers in the Catinaccio (Rosengarten) massif. Starting from the village of Pera di Fassa, the hike includes steep ascents, rocky paths, and breathtaking views. It passes by Rifugio Gardeccia, Rifugio Vajolet, and Rifugio Preuss, where you can rest and enjoy local cuisine. 2. Viel dal Pan Trail - Length: 8 km one way - Duration: 3-4 hours - Difficulty: Moderate This trail offers stunning views of the Marmolada, the highest peak in the Dolomites. Starting from Passo Pordoi, the trail follows an old bread-carrying route with panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The hike ends at Passo Fedaia, near the Marmolada Glacier. 3. Sentiero Federico Augusto - Length: 12 km round trip - Duration: 5-6 hours - Difficulty: Moderate This scenic trail runs along the ridgeline of the Col Rodella and Sasso Lungo massifs, offering spectacular views of the Dolomites. Starting from the cable car station in Campitello di Fassa, the trail passes by Rifugio Sandro Pertini and Rifugio Friedrich August, where you can enjoy refreshments and take in the scenery. 4. Val San Nicolò to Val Monzoni - Length: 15 km round trip - Duration: 6-7 hours - Difficulty: Moderate This trail takes you through the picturesque Val San Nicolò and Val Monzoni, known for their lush meadows, alpine flowers, and traditional mountain huts. Starting from Pozza di Fassa, the hike offers a mix of gentle slopes and steeper sections, with beautiful views and opportunities to spot wildlife.

Recommend thoroughly, the hike is challenging but worth it. Scenery magnificent

Val di Fassa is a stunning place, but I cannot ignore the suffering of the animals. Cows grazing in the meadows wear heavy, extremely loud bells that can weigh several kilos and reach noise levels similar to a lawnmower. This causes constant stress and discomfort for the animals. Tradition should never justify cruelty. Today, modern solutions like GPS trackers are available, allowing farmers to take care of their herds without harming the cows. I truly hope the region will move towards more ethical practices that respect animal welfare.

A long way with natural view around you. In winter not all huts are open.

Nice place to visit

Bad ski bus connections/infrastructure. Egz Sella Ronda from Soraga no ski bus connections. I prefer the Austrian resorts where everything is better organized.

Worth to visit to see not only the mountains but also the quaint villages and to see Nature while walking or trekking along the treks in spring. In winter Fassa Valley is famous fr ski.
