The Hotel Piccolo is small by name and small by nature. There's just 19 rooms but it's packed with personality. The Ongari and Deflorian families who run the hotel will quickly make you feel at home. It's in a lovely quiet position that catches the best of the sun and it only takes ten minutes or so if you fancy strolling into Canazei. The main Belvedere gondola is a little further on and you can use the shuttle service to and from the lift. 

Cosy hotel

The cosy lounge bar area is the perfect place to socialise and catch up after the day in the mountains, especially when they provide free afternoon tea and cake each day. The large dining room is the main hub of the hotel where you'll be treated to tasty dinners that are prepared with great care and the best ingredients. In true Landin tradition they'll encourage you to relax and take it slow. Give yourself time to enjoy the food, while they look after you. 

Unwind and relax

Having access to the wellness centre is ideal for when you need that little boost of energy when you get back from the slopes. Relax in the Finnish sauna or the Turkish bath, it does wonders for those tired ski legs and leaves you in prime condition for getting out and exploring the next day. There's also a salt water pool and a whirlpool which are both great for rejuvenating.

Where to stay in Val di Fassa

Canazei

As one of the largest villages in the Fassa valley, you won't be short of accommodation to choose from in Canazei. Val di Fassa is famous for Italian hospitality. Delicious restaurants serving local, home-cooked cuisine are in abundance. You can expect a lively après ski scene in and around resort, plus plenty of traditional culture and history in the area. The location couldn't be more perfect as the village is situated just below a forest of snow-covered trees and above that is the towering peaks of the almighty Dolomites. In the centre of the village, the Belvedere gondola is the gateway to the famous Sella circuit.

The closest hamlet just down the road is Alba, sat at the foot of the Marmolada and Sella. Here you will find the Col dei Rossi cable car which links directly onto the Sellaronda, so very convenient for the diehard skier.

Slightly further along the valley is Penia, a small but stunning area which is a suntrap for bluebird days. Between the two areas is the Ciampac 10-seater cable car which at the top has some of the most spectacular views of the Colac area. This is a quiet paradise for intermediate and advanced skiers with runs heading out towards the village of Pozza where you can access the quiet slopes of Rosengarten. Penia has access to the Sellaronda circuit too by the Col di Rossi cable car located between Alba and Penia.

The last village to mention is nestled in the middle of the valley, Campitello, sitting to the west of Canazei, is perfect for those looking for a traditional and more relaxed location with direct access onto the mountain via the Col Rodella cable car.

Bars and restaurants in Val di Fassa

Canazei’s centre has shops, terrace cafes, and a unique indoor water park and spa centre, Dòlaondes. Everyone can enjoy the facilities here with six pools, one of which is outdoors and has breath-taking views of the surrounding mountains.
