About the area

Val di Fassa is a red-run area first and foremost: of 78.13 km of pistes, 47.26 km are red, 13.16 km blue and only 0.4 km green. That suits intermediates who are happy to ski all day on medium-steep terrain. Beginners get a clear no — just 17% of the pistes are green or blue (14 km), with one short easy run next to a lift base and 2 magic carpets for first steps. Experts also get a no: 10 km of black/expert/freeride terrain (12%) and a longest single-run vertical of 635 m. Families can make it work with caveats.

The base is Canazei at 1454 m, about 307 m on foot from the lifts. Skiing runs between 1330 m and 2435 m, with a longest run of 2790 m. There are 38 lifts: 20 chairlifts, 8 gondolas, 6 platters, 2 cable cars and 2 magic carpets, so 10 gondola or cable-car lifts avoid chairlift loading with small children. The area belongs to Dolomiti Superski.
