If summer in the mountains feels softer, more serene, it’s thanks to places like Val di Fassa. This gem in Trentino is pure postcard beauty: fragrant pine woods, alpine lakes reflecting the sky, mountain huts nestled among the meadows, and majestic peaks framing the scene.
Among its many charming villages, Canazei stands out as the most iconic—a perfect base for unforgettable hikes, gourmet experiences, and moments of true relaxation. But the entire valley is a mosaic of wonder, waiting to be explored step by step, taste by taste.
For a rejuvenating stay surrounded by greenery, Hotel Astoria**** in Canazei is a top pick.
It offers refined Alpine elegance and a strategic location—perfect for summer hikes to the Sella, Pordoi, Sassolungo and Marmolada peaks. Its renowned wellness area features an indoor pool, sauna, hot tub, and holistic treatments, all with breath-taking Dolomite views.
In the evening, enjoy a creative take on traditional Trentino dishes at the restaurant, and unwind in charming, well-appointed rooms designed for total comfort.
If you long for a more intimate, authentic mountain retreat, Chalet Pineta is a hidden gem immersed in nature, directly on the scenic “Dolomites Cycling Path.”
It’s ideal not just for bike lovers, but for anyone seeking an active way to experience the Fassa Dolomites—through hiking, via ferrata, climbing or mountaineering. The rooms, crafted in spruce and pine, blend modern design with classic Alpine touches.
The real highlight? The restaurant. It serves a light but flavourful mountain cuisine, paired with an expertly curated selection of over 350 regional wines, thanks to the passion and know-how of sommeliers Matteo and Francesca.
Eating in Val di Fassa is a true experience. Especially at Tobia de Zeli, a beloved, long- standing restaurant nestled in the greenery along the Avisio River trail, near the playground in Alba di Canazei.
With a rustic yet refined atmosphere—wooden interiors and the scent of a wood- burning stove—it offers a delicious take on local specialties, combining fresh homemade pasta, meats, and desserts with regional wines from Trentino and South Tyrol. The selection of grappa and herbal liqueurs is equally impressive. It’s the kind of place where you rediscover the authentic flavours of the mountains.
For a getaway that combines relaxation, sport, and authentic hospitality, Hotel Ladina Holiday is the perfect choice.
Located in Campitello di Fassa, this welcoming 3-star superior family-run hotel features a cosy Alpine atmosphere, traditional cuisine, and a brand-new wellness centre complete with sauna, Turkish bath, Kneipp path and massage treatments.
Cycling lovers will appreciate the hotel’s Bike Room, bike wash station, e-bike charging points, and rental service—plus direct access to a network of trails for every skill level.
Whether you’re here to unwind or to explore, Hotel Ladina is an ideal base… and the perfect place to return to at the end of each adventure.
The landscapes surrounding Canazei offer natural beauty that will stay with you forever. Trek to the shimmering Lake Antermoia, tucked among the Catinaccio peaks, or visit
Lake Fedaia, nestled beneath the Marmolada glacier—both offering dramatic views and a peaceful, timeless atmosphere.
Prefer something gentler? The Val di Fassa cycling path is ideal for families, and nearby mountain huts like Malga Contrin and Malga Jumela offer delicious pit stops where you can buy local cheeses or try homemade speck.
Best time to visit: Mid-June to September. July and August are lively and bustling, while June and September are quieter, with intense colors and fewer crowds.
Getting around: A car is useful for reaching higher elevations, but e-bikes (available for rent) and efficient local buses are great options too.
Val di Fassa is a place that leaves a mark. In its landscapes, its flavours, and its warm, down-to-earth hospitality. Whether you’re staying at the panoramic Hotel Astoria, relaxing at Hotel Ladina, enjoying a gourmet pause at Tobia de Zeli, or embracing the outdoors at , Chalet Pineta, one thing is certain:
You’ll go home with a lighter heart, a full backpack of memories—and maybe a few delicious souvenirs!
