Located in the Dolomites, Val di Fassa lies in the north-east part of Trentino, Northern, Italy. It is surrounded by the most spectacular and famous Dolomite peaks, which ice and wind have modeled into the steep walls, towering spires and daring pinnacles typical of these mountains. The attractions are further enhanced at sunset when the sun s rays set the rocks alight and turn them to a warm red color. This valley is also the famous for the ski region in the Dolomiti Super-ski and the 10 villages that make up the charm of the Ladin culture, cuisine and language. CANAZEI & CAMPETILLO Two Villages that will be hosting the Blue Ridge Ski Council are Canazei because it is the only major resort in the Fassa Valley truly located on the Sella Ronda circuit with access to Corvara, Colfosco and Arabba, is known as the jewel of the Dolomites Superski area and is the capital of snow sports, and it s Sister Village of Campitello, which has its own connection into the vast Sella Ronda area with a lift from the resort heading up near the Sella pass. IN A NUTSHELL: The scenery will blow your ski boots off. And beyond the cliffs and crags, and you ll notice Canazei offers excellent levels of skiing, including intermediate-level, as well as delicious (and affordable) restaurants!
