For those craving a challenge, the focus is on racking up the miles. Sought-after runs include the slope under the Alba cable car and the Men's Downhill runs in Val Gardena and La Villa. For a steeper thrill, the north-facing slopes at nearby Arabba offer some of the toughest skiing in the Dolomites.

Snowboarders can grab their boards and conquer the 42km Sella Ronda circuit. Family Park Capitel welcomes kiddos and newbies, while Buffaure and Carezza parks invite more skilled riders to test their mettle on larger features.

Vigo di Fassa for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
For adventurous souls, popular freeride routes like Val Lasties, Val Mezdi, and Marmolada are must-visits. But caution—these areas are neither maintained nor signposted, so a guide is essential. Pordoi Pass offers a mix of steep and moderate terrains. For those new to the off-piste game, Col Margherita Freeride Park is the go-to, offering fresh snow and natural obstacles.

Vigo di Fassa for families

Families rating -
Families
Perfect
Family-friendliness is one of Val di Fassa's strong suits. Convenient lodgings near lifts, accessible ski schools, and an array of off-slope activities make it a top pick for families. At the Baranci mountain station, little ones can explore a kids' ski area featuring a magic carpet and banked slalom. Beyond skiing, the resort offers a variety of activities like ice hockey matches, indoor skating, swimming, and even floodlit skiing, ensuring that the fun continues long after the slopes close.

Vigo di Fassa apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
The après scene in Val di Fassa is eclectic and inviting, especially in Canazei where Austrian-style bars reign. Dance to live music in your ski boots at Rosengarten Bar, or let loose at Après Ski Paradis with its cheesy tunes and dance poles. For a vibe that can swing from laid-back to lively, Kaiserkeller Kaisterstube is the place, and if you're wrapping up a ski run, Taverna Espanola and Na Bela Vida are conveniently located to serve your après-ski needs.
