The Skiers' Guide to Canazei - Belvedere

Val di Fassa, Campitello and Canazei were close to the lifts, which were quick, efficient and clean. Pistes were well groomed, fun and wide mostly with plenty of possibilities to ride further as the resort was connected to the sella Rhonda! Beautiful scenery at every turn and great refugi and restaurants close to hand. A few queues but those quickly dispersed and you got on your way in 10/15 minutes! Good quality food at a good price! A must for any rider to visit!

Superb snowmaking, the easy links to the Dolomiti ski area and a generally fantastic lift system makes this an excellent choice. Weve been twice and look forward to going back again. Top class piste grooming, relatively uncrowded outside peak season. Highly recommended

Amazing breadth of ski terrain. Well kept slopes. Easy to navigate lifts and areas. Friendly people, amazing food. Mountain huts are great, high quality food and service. Want to go back

Just finished a week's skiing im Canazai. Lovely village with nice bars etc. Good access to slopes and you can ski back to the village. We had quite a bit of snowfall accompanied by poor visibility. Lower slopes slushy by end of day with soft mogals that were tricky to ski. Canazai is on the Sella Ronda a fun ski circuit of this amazing Dolomites region. It is a vast ski area with stunning views (visibility allowing!). Most pistes red or blue although there are some challenging blacks. Didn't queue much at the lifts. I found the piste map quite confusing and they could do with more map information boards on the slopes.

There can be early morning queues out of village of Alba up to Belvedere. But lift system copes well with queues once up on the pistes, even with the many green and orange Sella Ronda followers. Spectacular ever-changing scenery throughout the day in sunshine. Excellent groomed piste quality. Modern lift system. Dolomiti Skipass gives access to Marmolada glacier and museum, out on a spur from main Sella Ronda route, but can easily be combined with a full circuit on the same day. Relatively good value mountain restaurants. Again, queues on cable car down to Alba at end of day, but manageable.
For some, the lack of off-piste opportunities may be a negative factor, however.
Pretty village, some characterful hotels amongst a reasonable range of accommodation (though very few budget level, unless S/C).
Essential bucket list material, well recommended!

Fantastic connections to other resorts and the Sella Ronda make for an amazing experience. Food is excellent with plenty of choice in the mountains. People were helpful and friendly.

Fast access to the upper slopes from the town. We experienced no qs. Once at the top you are on the famous Sellaronda route / circuit which you can follow either clockwise or anticlockwise. Either way you return to your starting point. Easily managed in under 5 hours by intermediate skiers. Local slopes are wide and plentiful. Personally feel the Selva side( next valley over) is more picturesque and has far more great lunch spots. The whole area is vast, high , snowsure and has something for everyone . Hard to fault.

A fantastic ski area with 450+ lifts and 1400km of fantastic skiing. You will never be bored on piste, at the mountain restaurants, or in the off piste venues. Somewhere for all the family no matter what their ability.

Incredibly large and varied ski area with something for everyone. Not door to door Bou Sella Ronda gives two circular ski routes, Marmalada Glacier is a challenge combined with one of Europes longest ski runs and Alta Badia is amazing with long empty runs. One youve been to any Reston the Sella Ronda youll want to keep coming back.

a lot of the groomed runs are quite narrow and i do prefer wider runs. i went during the busy christmas period so it was quite busy but i had a really good time and the runs are well maintained. snow was fantastic. map of the slopes was very confusing though and got lost twice so thats my only negative.

Fantastic resort for doing Sella Ronda. This can be done clockwise or anti clockwise. The scenery is absolutely outstanding

Fantastic resort and very well connected. We chose the Dolomiti super ski pass which allowed us access to almost every resort, therefore in a day we could cover a huge amount of the mountain range - would highly recommend if confident skier/boarders!

Brilliant resort for on-piste skiing. Local accommodation far cheaper than alternative ski areas in Italy and Europe, yet links in to the second largest continuous ski area in the world. Off piste is pretty lacking though.

Loved our trip to the Dolomites. The pistes were amazing with fast lifts and plenty of snow. Apres ski was great with drinking and dancing. 19 in our group ranging from 8 to 60 all loved the holiday. We will be back.

Sellaronda route was a breathtaking area, skiing in the Dolomites. Its one of the best I have skid in Europe. Would recommend any skiers who is competent to go!

Canazei is my favourite place to stay in the Dolomites, the perfect blend of quality slopes, apres and park while not being overrun

Good resort for family and plenty of variety of piste for experienced kids - hence happy family. Not many easy runs for the inexperienced in Canazei.

Fantastic skiing, quiet, lovely wide and well groomed slopes, very little lift queues. Good value in mountain restaurants, with fun, lively atmospheres.

The town is lovely, good for non skiers as has plenty to do and some lovely walks. Even had a non skiers in our chalet that had brought his bike and went cycling every day.

Would definitely go back, but haven't been able to find any chalets, which is our usual preferred accommodation.

Skiing in Italy is the secret step-up from France. The piste is quiet, the terrain is beautifully rustic, the food is homemade, and the locals are welcoming. Canazei has the perfect combination of idyllic skiing and apres in the evening.

While there was not enough snow for off piste/powder skiing while we were there, the imposter skiing was excellent with only short lift queues.
