The village of Varena is situated on the slopes of the Corno Nero, also known as "Rocca" (2,439 m a.s.l.). This locality is a typical residential area of the Val di Fiemme between the Valle del Pezzòn and the Valle del Rio Gambis.
The Presepio of Varena, a nativity scene with 90 figures and 120 animals exhibited on an overall surface of 2,500 sq m, is one of the most unique attractions. You can admire this and many other nativity scenes along a path with a total length of 900 metres. The porphyry fountains dating back to the 19th century are of particular interest and it is said that in the past these springs supplied the village with the "best drinking water of the valley".
The altopiano di Lavazè, a natural paradise for hikers and winter sports enthusiasts is only 8 km from Varena and includes more than 80 km of ski slopes and cross-country tracks.
