There are lots of small villages and towns along the valley floor, many are well-known, others not so much, but all have easy access to the fantastic snow sure skiing. Just down the road from lively Canazei is Penia di Canazei, home to the Neilson Hotel Dolomites Inn. The village is surrounded by the towering snow-capped peaks of the Sella Massif and the Marmolada glacier. This is most definitely the place to come if the serenity of the mountains is your form of escapism. At a glance...

Roaring fires, fine wine and some good company are all on the menu. You still have plenty of choice when it comes to nightlife though. Neighbouring Alba (5-10min walk) has a good selection of bars to visit straight off the slopes. Beyond that, Canazei has some great shopping plus plenty of bars, restaurants and a nightclub. All are accessed either by ski bus or taxis which run right up until 4am! On the mountain The stunning Val di Fassa makes a convenient base for exploring the incredible 1220km Dolomites ski area. You're not far from the Marmolada Glacier for guaranteed snow, not that you'll need it as 90% of the slopes in the whole area have snow making. The Alba-Col dei Rossi gondola in Penia di Canazei and the Pecol Gondola in Canazei drop you right on to the 40km Sella Ronda loop which is an intermediate skier and boarder's heaven. Or for a real test of your skills, try the Volcano black run at Buffaure-Ciampac.
