Description
The enchanting world of the Dolomites - ancient legends and myths characterize the famous pale mountains. Already some 40 million years ago those mountains were formed, which got their name from a limestone rock called dolomite.
And in between those mighty pale mountains lies the Fassa Valley, with a rich number of hiking trails taking you right to the heart of the beautiful natural scenery called the Dolomites. The valley is characterized by the Avisio river and thanks to such famous mountains as the Sella Group or legendary Marmolada it is one of the most renowned Alpine valleys. Val di Fassa is by the way the only Trentino valley where the Ladin language is still spoken.
Winter turns Val di Fassa into a true skiing paradise. The ski areas of the valley are all part of the Dolomiti Superski area, the biggest association of ski areas all over the world. The lifts and gondolas are running even in summer which might come quite handy when embarking on long and challenging hikes across the mountains. Steeped in tradition, the valleys boast a very special flair. Enjoy true hospitality and get to know almost forgotten traditions and cultures…
