Vigo Di Fassa
Located in a high and sunny position that dominates the rest of the valley, Vigo di Fassa was during the reign of the Longobards the administrative and religious headquarter of the Val di Fassa.
Even if almost destroyed in a fire in 1921, the village maintained its typical rural aspect, that can be seen in particular in the hamlet of Tamion. The Ladin Museum and the Ladin Cultural Institution have a fundamental role in preserving the Ladin tradition and spread it.
Thanks to a modern cable car it is possible to reach the Ciampedie valley (2.000 m) directly from the town, arriving on a spectacular natural terrace where to admire the Dolomites. The Ciampedie in summer is the ideal point of departure for hiking and climbing in the Catinaccio group, King Laurin’s reign; in winter it is the heart of the Catinaccio Ski Area, offering a great variety of slopes perfectly covered with snow. The Ciampedie is a paradise for children that can have fun in the open air and in all safety at the "Baby Park" play ground.
Pozza di Fassa
Pozza is located in the heart of the Val di Fassa, surrounded by the Cima Undici and Cima Dodici and with a fantastic view on the Torri del Vajolet.
Thanks to its sulfurous water, unique in Trentino, the natural Spa Centro Terme Dolomia is the ideal place for those who want to spend a healthy and relaxing holiday and regenerate body and mind.
The Val San Nicolò is famous in summer among climbers and walkers, offering a great variety of excursions apt for all the family members leading to Valle del Vajolet and Val Monzoni and is very popular in winter for its huts open at night with food and entertainment.
The Buffaure Ski Area with its 25 km slopes is a winter paradise for ski fans, with one of the longest slopes in the whole valley, starting at 2.050 m and leading back to town. From the cabins of the Buffaure lift one can enjoy a 360° view on the Catinaccio, the Latemar, the Sassolungo group, the Monzoni chain and the Val Giumela. Thanks to the direct link to the Ciampac skiarea, the Buffaure is closer to the Belvedere ski area than ever, in fact, one can ski down to Alba di Canazei and reach the starting point of the Sellaronda, Canazei, in a few minutes by skibus.
The "Ski Stadium Aloch" lighted at night, is open three times a week for night skiing, and hosts important international competition and the training of the Italian ski team. The Ciancoal cross-country rink is the ideal place to practise sport in contact with nature, far from the hustle and bustle of the city life.
In Pera di Fassa, 1 km far from Pozza, birthplace of Tita Piaz, the first alpinist nicknamed as "The Devil of the Dolomites, one can see Hotel Rizzi, an historical building, attended in the past by princes and important personalities.
