Forecast today: Rather cloudy
We have a Ski Club Freshtracks holiday based in Canazei this season, using the resort as a springboard to explore the Sella Ronda.
For beginners there are two options, a gentle zone on the edge of the village, or a higher, more snowsure sector up at the top of the Ciampac gondola.
Progression on to long, gentle blues is adequate and some of the more gentle reds are also within reach for relatively inexperienced skiers and boarders.
The rest of the Val di Fassa and the Sella Ronda is one big intermediate paradise. Confident skiers should be more than capable of completing the full circuit, but if you’re looking for quiet slopes head towards Pozza di Fassa, away from the busier slopes of the Sella Ronda. Advanced skiers and boarders have a fairly limited selection of groomed blacks and some off piste – but this does rely on good natural snowfall, which at times can be limited.
The narrow cobbled streets and traditional-style buildings are attractively set beneath the most heavily wooded section of the Sella Ronda. The striking surroundings, traditional Italian charm and a great range of restaurants make it a great base for a week’s skiing, all on a very manageable budget – this is one of the best value resorts in Italy.
Canazei is one of the livelier resorts of the Sella Ronda, it has a good bustling feel while also retaining it’s Italian charm. Lively bars and endless options to sample fantastic Italian mountain cuisine make it an ideal destination for all groups – especially keen foodies.
There are two main airport options, Venice and Verona, both of which are between two and three hours drive away from the resort.

Following a great weekend for the Italian Alps, the New Year dawns fine, dry and bright across the region thanks to high pressure. This moves away as the week continues, with cold and more unsettled weather eventually moving in.
The southwest will see around 15cm of snow fall in steady flurries over Friday, Saturday and Sunday; this will grow to a foot in the northwestern Italian Alps. A slower start in the Dolomites will see at least 20cm down on Sunday with more predicted outside this forecast period into the new week.
The freezing line will remain around 2,000m, dropping to 1,500m in places, before dropping off a cliff on Monday morning ensuring this snowfall – and the snow following into the new week – hits all elevations and remains there.
