Canazei
Canazei is the Val di Fassa gateway onto the Sella Ronda lift-linked circuit. The village base at 1,465 m connects to the Belvedere ski area via cable car and links north to the Sella Ronda loop and south to the wider Val di Fassa carousel. Pistes are mainly intermediate, the Ladin-speaking village walks well, and the night scene is the liveliest of the four Sella Ronda bases.
