Canazei is on the Sella Ronda circuit, giving 175km of pistes to cover. With its four outlying areas of Gries, Chieva, Alba and Penia, Canazei is the most touristically renowned. It is above all, nationally and internationally acclaimed for its winter tourism, due to its strategic position by the Dolomite Passes of Pordoi, Sella and Fedaia.
The very modern ski lifts make the area of Canazei a model resort in the alpine arc, directly linked to the Giro del Sellaronda. Set in a stupendous natural basin and at the foot of some of the most alluring Dolomite peaks, Canazei has seen a notable expansion in building work during the last decade. Most of it caters for intermediates and, with the aid of improved lifts, the whole domain is easily accessible. Canazei itself is quite large, but maintains its charm and traditional appeal
The village has decent accommodation (hotels and chalets), a good range of shops, bars, clubs and restaurants, and apres-ski can be lively. There is ski schools available, but childcare provided is fairly minimal. Canazei represents an ideal match between nature and sport, shows and culture, relaxation and night life, making this a good place for the whole family. Verona has the nearest airport, two and a half hours away. |
