The unique Alpine resort of Canazei, situated near the Pordoi, Sella, and Fedaia passes, is part of the Dolomiti Superski area, which boasts several downhill ski-runs. Wedged into a narrow cleft of forest and rock at the far end of the Val di Fassa, this friendly, unpretentious resort offers quick access to some of the most scenic intermediate skiing in Europe. The backdrop, courtesy of the sheer-sided Dolomites, stretches as far afield as the Swiss and Austrian Alps. Canazei is smaller but a beautiful upcoming tourist destination that is well worth a visit.
