Canazei is a busy old village in the Val di Fassa; hotels are in town, with cable cars from the edge of the village straight onto the Sella Ronda.
Canazei is one of the most lively gateways to the Sella Ronda, the great Dolomite circuit you can ski clockwise or anticlockwise on one pass. Its own Val di Fassa slopes climb to the 2950 m Sass Pordoi, with the Marmolada glacier a short link away for the longest descent in the Dolomites. The old village has real Italian buzz, the Dolomiti Superski covers everything around, and a single base lets you ski a different valley each day.
