Introducing Val di Fassa
Framing the Val di Fassa are the stirring peaks of the Gruppo del Sella to the north, the Catinaccio (Rosengarten; 2981m) to the west and the Marmolada (3342m) to the southeast. The buzzing ski town of Canazei (population 1810; elevation 1465m) and the villages along the valley 17km south to the equally pretty town of Moena (population 2660; elevation 1114m), home to cross-country ski champ Christian Zorzi, are certainly geared towards summer and winter tourism. But some locals still make a traditional living from dairy farming. The valley remains a stronghold of Ladin culture.
