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.

With the temperatures lowering over the weekend, more snow is set to fall over the Italian Alps, with about 20cm to 30cm due over Northern Italy. With a freezing line camping out at 1,500m there is a good chance this reaches lower slopes too, and this will only fall as the new week begins.
Flurries will continue as the new week begins, with the freezing line remaining at the same level helping preserve excellent skiing conditions for slopes above this mark.
