Skiing in Campitello di Fassa

Beginners

Campitello features a beginner slope with a lift right at the village's entrance. For parents traveling with young children, the 'Banzimania' snow playground, suitable for those aged three and above, is also located here. Additionally, the 'Kinderland' nursery can be found nearby, close to the cable car departure point.

Intermediates

The main allure for intermediate skiers is the Col Rodella-Belvedere ski sector, equipped with modern facilities and a state-of-the-art artificial snow system. This ensures optimal skiing conditions right from the season's onset. With the Dolomiti Superski ski pass, one can explore up to 1,200 km (745 mi) of ski runs, allowing intermediate skiers to traverse diverse terrains and challenges.

Advanced

Advanced skiers seeking adrenaline will find solace in the smaller ski sections like the one above Alba, which includes challenging black-graded runs like the Pista Ciampac. Moreover, the vast interconnectedness of the ski areas, especially with the Sella Ronda circuit, means there's always a new challenge awaiting around every bend.

Off-piste

For those eager to veer off the beaten path, off-piste routes are aplenty. Popular runs such as Laste/Lusia, Sass Pordoi/Val Lasties, and those over at the Marmolada glacier beckon. However, for safety, it's advisable to either join a ski school class or hire a mountain guide. Additionally, for skiing under the stars, the Pista Aloch ski stadium above Pozza di Fassa offers night skiing, adding a unique dimension to the skiing experience.

Snowboarding

Snowboarders are heartily welcomed across the region, with modern uplifts ensuring quick access to the slopes. Terrain parks are abundant, with features like a half-pipe and boardercross available at Canazei, Belvedere, and a dedicated snowboard area at Col Rodella/Campitello.
