For your choice of accommodation, this means that you can focus on skiing days, high-altitude mountain landscapes or a combination of active seasons.

In the heart of the Dolomites, the Fassa Bike District offers a network of flow trails, enduro singletrack trails and downhill tracks. For families, the Canazei Fun Park complements the range with an approximately 50-metre-long tubing run, a 400-metre-long slalom-kart track for grass karts, and Acqua Splash, bumper boats on the water in inflatable boats. This means that when planning a holiday apartment in Canazei, you can also take different family members’ interests into account without losing sight of the resort’s mountain character.
