Campitello retains the character of an authentic Italian mountain town, with church spires, painted facades, and a relaxed pace of life that draws visitors back season after season. The village connects to the broader Dolomiti Superski region, one of the world's largest ski networks, giving access to over 1,200km of pistes across a dozen interconnected areas.
From Campitello, the Col Rodella gondola opens up the Sella Ronda circuit. This legendary ski safari loops around the Sella massif through four valleys, and can be completed in either direction. The local terrain at Campitello di Fassa ski resort spans over 10km of pistes with a vertical drop of over 1,000m, primarily suited to skiers and snowboarders who appreciate steeper gradients and technical terrain. The season typically runs from early December through early April, with the high altitude helping to preserve snow conditions well into spring.
Away from the slopes, Campitello offers the warmth of a genuine Italian community. The village centre is compact and walkable, lined with family-run restaurants serving Ladin and Trentino specialities, cosy wine bars, and artisan shops. The atmosphere leans more towards relaxation than late-night revelry, making it a popular choice for couples and families who want good skiing without the crowds (plus, neighbouring Canazei is just minutes away for more dining options and a livelier evening scene).

Skiing and snowboarding at Campitello di Fassa feels like stepping into a postcard. The Col Rodella sector delivers sweeping views of the Sassolungo and Sella towers while you carve long, satisfying descents back towards the valley. The terrain rewards confident technique - runs tend towards the steeper end, with fewer nursery slopes and more sustained gradients that require skill and attention.
The real draw, though, is connectivity. From the top of Col Rodella, you can access the Sella Ronda circuit and spend entire days exploring the linked valleys of Val Gardena, Alta Badia, and Arabba without retracing your steps. Each sector has its own character, from the wide motorways of Seceda to the steep walls above Arabba, making this a resort that reveals more the longer you stay.
Campitello has limited terrain for complete beginners, with most of the local pistes graded as challenging. First-timers will find a small practice area near the base of the village, with a dedicated lift for arriving to lessons. The snow quality is also great for learning and a handful of easy blue runs exist on the lower slopes - but they're short and lead quickly into more demanding terrain.
That said, the nearby Canazei and Alba areas within the Val di Fassa ski network offer more extensive gentle slopes for building confidence. Beginners willing to take the short bus or shuttle to these neighbouring bases will find a much better selection of greens and mellow blues to progress on.
WeSki insider tip: Once you're comfortable, the wide blue run from Passo Sella back towards Canazei makes a satisfying first venture onto the mountain proper. It's long, scenic, and has plenty of space to find your rhythm.
Confident intermediates will find Campitello di Fassa rewarding. You can spend days exploring different valleys, stopping for long lunches at rifugios, and still discover new routes. This mix keeps things interesting and helps push your skiing to the next level.
The Col Rodella sector serves up sustained red runs with consistent pitch, and the Sella Ronda circuit is tailor-made for skiers who can handle a variety of terrain at a good pace. Runs back to Campitello test your technique with their steeper sections, while the broader pistes around Plan de Gralba and into Val Gardena offer more forgiving cruising.
WeSki insider tip: Take on the Sella Ronda anti-clockwise first. It's slightly less crowded and the views of the Marmolada glacier as you traverse towards Arabba are exceptional.
Advanced skiers will appreciate Campitello's direct access to serious terrain. The black runs on Col Rodella feature sustained steep pitches, while a short transfer to Arabba opens up the Marmolada glacier and some of the most challenging marked runs in the Dolomiti Superski network. The Porta Vescovo sector at Arabba includes demanding descents with variable snow conditions that require solid technique.
For those comfortable venturing off-piste, the terrain around the Sella group offers excellent itinerary routes and guided options through couloirs and powder fields when conditions allow. The Dolomites' unique geology - sheer rock faces and open bowls - creates a different flavour of off-piste compared to the more tree-lined terrain elsewhere in the Alps.
WeSki insider tip: Book a mountain guide for the Val Mezdi descent, a legendary off-piste run through a narrow gorge that drops over 1,000m from the Sella plateau to Colfosco.
Snowboarders will enjoy the natural features and varied terrain across the Sella Ronda circuit. The connected valleys offer plenty of natural hits, rollers, and transitions to play with. Be aware that some flat traverses on the Sella Ronda can require unstrapping, but the sustained descents and scenic riding more than compensate.
The Dolomites offer a distinctive off-piste experience, with north-facing powder stashes, scenic itinerary routes, and technical couloirs for experienced freeriders. The Val Mezdi and Val Lasties descents are local classics, while the Marmolada glacier opens up high-altitude touring options. Hiring a guide is strongly recommended since the terrain is complex and avalanche awareness is essential.
Several ski schools operate in Campitello and the wider Val di Fassa area, including the Italian national ski school (Scuola Italiana Sci). Group and private lessons are available for all levels, with English-speaking instructors typically available. Booking in advance during peak weeks is advisable.
The Val di Fassa Snowpark is located at Passo San Pellegrino, accessible via the ski bus network. It features jumps, rails, and features for various ability levels. Closer to Campitello, the natural terrain provides plenty of opportunities for freestyle-minded riders to find their own lines.
Campitello's village atmosphere makes it a welcoming choice for families, particularly those with children who have some skiing experience under their belts. The compact centre is easy to navigate on foot, accommodation tends towards smaller family-run hotels with a personal touch, and the Italian emphasis on good food extends to child-friendly restaurants where kids are treated as welcome guests rather than tolerated inconveniences.
For younger children or complete beginners, the terrain is better suited to the nearby Canazei or Pozza di Fassa areas, which have gentler nursery slopes and dedicated children's areas. Many families base themselves in Campitello and take advantage of the efficient ski bus network to access appropriate terrain before progressing to the more challenging local runs.
Teenagers with confident skiing ability will thrive here. The Sella Ronda circuit provides an adventure they can tackle independently, and the connection to multiple valleys means no two days need be the same. Off the slopes, activities like ice skating, tobogganing, and the Aquapark in Canazei keep everyone entertained.
Campitello rewards visitors who take time to explore beyond the pistes. The village has a living Ladin culture, with traditions, cuisine, and a distinct language that set it apart from other Italian ski resorts. Whether you're after a leisurely afternoon or a full day off the mountain, there's plenty to keep you entertained.
The Dolomites offer a wealth of winter activities beyond downhill skiing, many taking advantage of the region's spectacular scenery:

Dining in Campitello and the wider Val di Fassa draws on Ladin, Trentino, and South Tyrolean influences, creating a unique culinary identity. Mountain huts serve hearty lunches on sun-drenched terraces, while village restaurants deliver refined takes on regional classics:
WeSki insider tip: Try canederli (bread dumplings) in broth or with speck and melted butter - a Dolomite speciality that tastes better at altitude. Pair with a local Lagrein red from the valleys below.
Campitello's après-ski scene is relaxed, with friendly bars where groups gather over Aperol spritzes and local grappas as the sun sets behind the peaks. The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, well-suited to visitors who prefer conversation over all-night dancing and clubbing.
For those seeking livelier evenings, neighbouring Canazei has more bars, later hours, and occasional live music. The ski bus usually runs until late, making it easy to head over for dinner and drinks before returning to Campitello's quieter streets. During carnival season and local festivals, the valley comes alive with parades, traditional costumes, and communal celebrations.
Après-ski spots to know:
Accommodation in Campitello leans towards family-run three and four-star hotels, many offering half-board packages with hearty Italian breakfasts and multi-course dinners. You'll also find apartments and residence hotels for those preferring self-catering flexibility. The village is compact and most properties are within a short walk of the Col Rodella gondola base station.
Staying centrally puts you close to restaurants, bars, and the ski bus stops for accessing other parts of the Val di Fassa. Properties slightly uphill towards the gondola offer quieter settings and often better parking. The neighbouring village of Alba is sometimes marketed together with Campitello and provides equally convenient lift access to the Ciampac ski area.
The Dolomiti Superski pass covers all 12 ski areas in the network, including the Sella Ronda circuit and 1,200km of pistes across the region. For those staying local, the Val di Fassa pass covers the home valley's lifts at a lower price point. Most visitors opt for the full Dolomiti Superski pass to take advantage of the incredible variety on offer.

Campitello is better suited to confident intermediates and above, with most local terrain graded as challenging. That said, complete beginners will find more appropriate slopes in nearby Canazei, Pozza, or Alba, all easily accessible by ski bus. Once you've gained confidence, Campitello's terrain offers a natural progression for improving skiers.
The Sella Ronda is a famous ski circuit that loops around the Sella massif, connecting four Dolomite valleys across approximately 40km of pistes. From Campitello, you access it via the Col Rodella gondola. Confident intermediates can complete the circuit in either direction in a day, though taking your time and stopping at mountain huts makes for a more enjoyable experience.
With skiing reaching 2,480m at Col Rodella and extensive snowmaking across the valley, conditions are generally reliable from December through April. The Dolomites tend to receive less natural snowfall than the western Alps, but investment in artificial snow and the high altitude of the main skiing areas helps maintain good coverage throughout the season.
Campitello is smaller and quieter than Canazei, with a more traditional village atmosphere and a slightly more challenging home ski area at Col Rodella. Canazei offers more dining and nightlife options, along with access to gentler slopes at Belvedere. The two villages are just minutes apart by ski bus, so many visitors enjoy both during their stay.
Campitello works well for families with children who already have some skiing ability and will enjoy the Sella Ronda adventure. For families with complete beginners, basing yourselves in nearby Canazei or Pozza provides easier access to nursery slopes while still allowing days out to Campitello. The village atmosphere is welcoming and child-friendly throughout.
Verona, Venice, and Milan Bergamo offer flight options from the UK. Innsbruck is closer but has fewer direct flights. Munich is another option for those willing to drive through Austria.

4.9/5I usually book flights, transfers, hotel, ski rental and lift passes myself but this year used WeSki for a trip to Morzine. It was so much easier. Everything worked perfectly - transfers arrived on time and there was plenty of feedback throughout the whole process giving you confidence the holiday would go smoothly.
A really useful service that is so much easier to use than other 'all-inclusive' sites. It nicely bridges the gap between a travel agent and booking the trip yourself online. I will use WeSki every time I go skiing from now on.
We booked a late minute skiing trip to Morzine through we ski. We looked at booking the trip ourselves but could get anywhere near the price quoted by we ski. The company was excellent and we had no problems at all from start to finish. I would definitely use them to book another weekend skiing trip.
Seamless experience from start to finish. I was spending ages trying to sort out a weekend break and managed to do it with we ski in minutes and for the same price as booking it all up yourself. Flight, transfer and accommodation was all as expected and faultless.
