A wide range of ancient legends grow up around the enchanting world of the Dolomites
The origins of the Dolomites date back to more than 200 million years, and they owe their name to the mineral they are composed of: dolomite. Embedded in a natural heritage, the Val di Fassa is renowned for its unique cultural richness of traditions, as well as a wide range of itineraries and sports facilities.
The valley is situated in the upper part of the Avisio river which has its origin on the Marmolada glacier and flows through Moena, before entering the Val di Fiemme. The Val di Fassa is the only valley in Trentino where the Ladin language is still widely spoken. The valley's ski areas are part of the Dolomiti Superski, the most extensive, interconnected ski district in the world.
Also in summer summer its small but well-organised villages feature cable cars which transport tourists to the ideal starting points for unforgettable excursions, leading to stunning alpine lakes, through forests and rock walls in this area. Life in the valley is deeply influenced by ancient traditions and Ladin culture.
