If you want to explore further afield, the Dolomiti Superski pass gives access to 1,200 kilometres of pistes across the whole Dolomites region.
The village itself is a little gem. Moena has retained its traditional alpine character, with wooden houses, a historic church and charming streets where you can wander between local shops and craftsmen. The restaurants serve traditional Trentino cooking, with polenta, game and local cheeses, at some of the lowest prices found anywhere in the Dolomites.
For families, Moena is close to the perfect choice. The area is large enough to offer variety without ever feeling overwhelming, prices are low, the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming to children, and there are plenty of activities beyond the pistes, such as skating and tobogganing.
