The Skiers' Guide to Canazei - Belvedere

Awesome resort with an absolutely huge skiing area right up and down the Fassa valley. Skiing round the Sella Ronda is a must do. Had a great time here.

Great variety of runs. The whole seleronda is available. Good fun bars for apres ski. Prices are a lot less than in France.

It was a lovely experience. The resort is very well planned out. Only queues in the morning at the first gondola. No queueing. Easy to navigate round the resort with a coloured system to follow. All food and drinks were perfect. Not one bad meal! Friendly staff and public. One of the best resorts I’ve visited and will be going back!

Canazei is a great choice if you want the Sella Ronda experience on a smaller budget than resorts directly on the route. A fully established town with plenty of atmostphere and bars/restaurants galore to suit all preferences!

No shortage of classic, dolomites mountain views and pretty, tyrolean style properties. The lift up from the town to the Sella Ronda is fast and efficient and at the end of the day you can ski all the way back into town on an easy red. Check the location of your accomodation when book as you could end up with a long walk to the list and unusually the ski buses aren't free in Canazei.

The snow management in the area is, in my opinion, amongst the best in the world. Runs are kept open and in great condition even when the snow is sparse, plus the lift system is modern and extensive.

The on mountain restaurants are plentiful and range from cheap and cheerful to gourmet, something for everyone!

Great Value resort with access to the full Sella Ronda Area. This is probably the cheapest resort to stary in on the Sella Ronda but that doesn't mean its not classy. There are some very smart wine bars with good value and quality drinks wine and beer.
The skiing is great and they can manage to get some very good quality skiing with very little snow, so if the reports says 40cm+ of snow, here there will be still good skiing.
Two great ski bowls just above the resort. Ski one value over to Arabba for more challenging steeps and across to Selva for some really nice easy blues in a bowl (and the mens downhill course too).
The dolomites are always amazing

The dolomites are incredible and Canazei is a wonderful town grin which to base yourself. Do the incredible SELARONDA and you'll never want to ski anywhere else!

Best ski trip so far, perfect mix of fun skiing, cheap snacks on the slopes, and a wide variety of areas to adventure to, all using an excellent lift system.

Great resort for exploring the sella ronda. The cabin from the village is busy in the morning, so arrive early. There’s a great ski shop & locker just opposite the main lift. You can ski back to the village on a really nice route.
A few nice bars including apres options. Some good restaurants including traditional Italian.

I've loved Canazei for a long time, but lately with the crackdown on spree and nightlife, it has become a lot less fun. Very family friendly, but I would not recommend to anyone who wants a little bit of fun after day of skiing.

Great resort, connects you to the Sella Ronda circuit with amazing views. Well run and relativ ly quiet, no long lines for lifts

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.
