DOLOMITE WALKING AND TREKKING IN THE FASSA VALLEY
WALKS AND TREKS FOR EVERYONE IN THE FASSA DOLOMITES AND TRENTINO
In summer Val di Fassa fills up with colours and fragrances with the unique panoramas and enchanted scenarios which only the Fassa valley can offer. The best way to enjoy the beauties of the area is to get out there on a mountain excursion!
Val di Fassa is a paradise for walking and trekking lovers with its many paths and itineraries accessible from Hotel Ladina also by bus, shuttles and ski lifts. There are also many history or religious-inspired themed itineraries commemorating the fact that the Fassa valley was one of the main battlegrounds in the Great War.
And if you are simply looking to relax in the natural world, this is the place for you!
The Fassa valley routes accessible from our hotel vary in difficulty. There is something for everyone. A unique feature of Val di Fassa is the fact that there is something here both for those who love nature but do not want to exert themselves too much and for extreme sports people. With easy walks suitable also for families with children, to spectacular panoramas which will leave you speechless. For sports people and adrenalin lovers, on the other hand, there are a great many ridges and peaks to explore giving one-of-a-kind thrills. We’d bet on it!
In summer our guests can also count on the expertise of Alpine Guides who can take them to discover the area in complete safety, including the lesser known areas of the valley.
Of the huge number of footpaths that the Fassa valley has to offer, we’d like to list a few not-to-be-missed itineraries, suitable for families with children too:
