Thanks to the surrounding Marmolada and Sella mountains, Canazei is a popular holiday resort in winter and summer alike.

Countless hiking trails are spread across the mountains, from where you might enjoy a breath-taking view of valleys and mountains. From the Gruppo di Sella mountains to the Sassolungo or the Marmolada - they all attract numerous visitors year after year. Experienced mountaineers might go for an adrenaline based session and explore a number of via ferrata routes.

In winter you will get to know Canazei’s true nature. Now the broad ski centre with its four ski areas - Belvedere, Ciampac, Col Rodella and Marmolada - is within easy reach. State-of-the-art ski lifts and carefully-groomed runs are waiting to be discovered.
