In Val di Fassa, in the heart of the Dolomites Trentino, a burst of adrenaline never fails. If you are looking for holidays active, gourmet and wellness...you're in the right place! There Val di Fassa is an ideal destination in winter for those who want experience the mountains without skiing. The Val di Fassa and the town of Canazei offer so many activities to do in winter: water parks and spas, snowshoe trails, snowmobile or horse-drawn carriage excursions, agritourisms where you can eat excellent Trentino dishes and many snow parks and slopes for bobsleigh and sleds for children. During the Christmas period you can then find many Christmas markets in the main locations of the valley. But let's see together what you can do in Canazei and Val di Fassa in winter if you don't like skiing.
What to do Canazei in winter if you don't ski
Let's start with the most particular building in all of Canazei, Casa Floriana, it is a completely private house decorated in Ladin style, which is located near the Church of San Floriano. Still remaining in the central area, it is worth a visit the Cuckoo House. It is a building located in the main square of Canazei, the peculiarity is a cuckoo clock that rings twice a day, at 11am and 17pm, make sure you are in front of the house at these times to be able to admire the small show .
Moving towards the entrance of the town you can visit the small one Madonna della Neve church and continuing a little further you can go and see the waterfall formed by the Ruf de Soracrepa stream which freezes in the winter months.
La cycle/pedestrian path of the Val di Fassa it is a beautiful road that runs along the Avisio stream and crosses the Fassa and Fiemme valleys with a 48 km long route and a difference in altitude of 650 m. It starts from Alba di Canazei and ends in Molina di Fiemme, touching all the towns in the valley. It is therefore possible to take it directly from Canazei going towards the stream. During the winter season the road is perfect for walking in the snow, with boots or snowshoes based on the snow situation, which offer enchanting scenarios. Along this road it is also possible to go on beautiful horseback rides. For families with small children, I would like to point out that the first stretch starting from Canazei can be done by dragging the bob or sled as it is mostly flat.
If you are looking for some fun in a swimsuit in the town of Canazei there is a great one aquatic center: Dòlaondes, which in Ladin means “Follow the waves”. The aquatic center has a surface area of 2.400 m5 and is divided into four thematic areas: Water & fun with XNUMX swimming pools for adults and children, a wellness area, a gym and an area where you can drink and eat.
What to do Moena
The small historic center full of shops, clubs and restaurants it is very distinctive. During the Christmas season a nice event is also held here Christmas market in the main streets of the town. Moena is very lively and always full of events, even in winter. Starting from the center of Moena, various walks are possible in the area, such as the beautiful tour of the Moena mountain huts.
Moena is the first town you come across when entering Val di Fassa, also called la Fairy of the Dolomites, is certainly the most beautiful and characteristic accommodation center in the valley.
Il San Pellegrino pass it is easily reachable from Moena, which is a few minutes' drive away, and from the entire valley. From Canazei it takes about thirty minutes by car. The San Pellegrino Pass as well as being a famous ski resort it is also perfect for those who want to carry out hiking or snowshoeing. An itinerary suitable for everyone is the one that leads from Passo San Pellegrino to Fuciade refuge. The path is groomed by snowcats, therefore easy and also suitable for less experienced hikers. Take the path immediately after the ski lifts, taking a road that goes uphill.
