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 site, the Fassa valley is renowned for its unique cultural richness and traditions, as well as a wide range of itineraries and sports facilities.
The valley is crossed by 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.
Cable cars operate in summer as well, taking tourists and locals to the most wonderful alpine lakes, forests and rock walls. The Ladin culture can be perceived everywhere in the valley.
