Forecast today: Light snow
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.

Good, consistent snowfall will come to most of the Italian Alps in one of the rare seasons where Italy outperforms its Alpine neighbours. At least 30cm can be expected over the course of this weekend and into the new year, beginning on Friday in all areas and strengthening on Saturday. Temperatures remain cold throughout this period with the freezing line staying settled below 1,500m throughout.
A brief pause in the idiocy follows on Sunday and Monday with threats of sunshine in the Dolomites and Piemonte, but snow quickly returns into the new week even as the freezing line spikes close to 2,000m; this does mean snowfall will be more limited to higher ground over this period, but around 15-20cm will fall helping boost already good levels on this side of the Main Alpine Ridge.
Areas close to the Mont Blanc Massif could see a big dump over this period, with 50cm expected over the highest slopes in the middle of the week.
