This village was already a popular destination for the mountaineering pioneers in the 19th century. At the time also artists and aristocrats visited this village whenever they needed a source of inspiration.
San Martino di Castrozza was built thanks to an ancient religious institution, the Hospice of the Saints Martino and Giuliano. Travellers directed to Passo Rolle or from Primiero to the Val di Fiemme found refuge in this hut.
Surrounded by the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Nature Park, the village of San Martino di Castrozza offers extraordinary views of the Cimon della Pala peaks, including Vezzana, Rosetta, Sass Maor, Val di Roda, Madonna and Colbricon. In winter you can choose between numerous winter sports, such as snowboarding and skiing. The skiing areas of San Martino di Castrozza belong to the Dolomiti Superski ski area. Also cross-country skiers are spoilt for choice: 30 kilometres of tracks mainly inside the Nature Park with their well-equipped ski centre await them.
