How to ski in Canazei
Canazei sits at 1 465 metres and serves as one of the main gateways to Val di Fassa and the entire Dolomiti Superski system. From the village, a gondola takes you up towards the Belvedere area, where the terrain is open and easily accessible, making it a natural gathering point for beginners and families. From here it is also easy to move further out into the wider lift system without having to return down to the village between each pass.
The more demanding sections are found further out in the system, particularly around the passes on the Sella Ronda circuit, where steeper flanks and narrower passages call for better control. Anyone looking for an extra challenge can head to the Marmolada glacier, the highest peak in the Dolomites at 3 269 metres, where the descent towards the valley on the far side is considerably tougher and far more alpine than anything on the Canazei side.
Canazei's own 150 kilometres of pistes and 14 lifts link up well with the neighbouring resorts, and from there the whole of Dolomiti Superski opens up with its 1 200 kilometres of pistes and 450 lifts. The best known circuit is the Sella Ronda, a 40 kilometre loop around the Sella massif via four passes, Campolongo, Gardena, Sella and Pordoi, which can be completed in a day if you keep up a steady pace and do not linger too long at each pass.
A practical tip is that the passes on the Sella Ronda often become very busy in the middle of the day, especially at Pordoi and Sella, so it is worth setting off early if you want to ski the circuit without unnecessary queues. The difference in altitude between Canazei and the highest points in the ski area is considerable, which means snow quality can vary noticeably between the lower slopes near the village and the higher runs on the very same day.
