Enjoy stunning alpine landscapes in Campitello di Fassa
Nestled in a sunny valley surrounded by the famous Dolomites, Campitello di Fassa is the perfect base to explore some of Italy’s most magnificent landscapes. The majestic Sassolungo and Col Rodella peaks, which overlook the resort, offer a natural playground for outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, biking and paragliding. Throughout the summer, cable cars from the village centre transport visitors up into the mountains for some of Trentino’s most impressive views.
Historically, Campitello was the first tourist centre and alpine resort in the Val di Fassa area. Today the village is well known for its friendly hospitality and attracts families and adventure-seekers looking to enjoy the mountainous landscapes and peaceful atmosphere.
Walking and biking
With rugged peaks and meadows rich with flora and fauna, it’s no wonder Campitello di Fassa is such a sought-after destination for Italian walking holidays. There’s an array of leisurely walking paths that connect Campitello to the other villages in the valley, passing tranquil forests, green pastures and historic churches along the way.
For more challenging, high-altitude routes, there are a variety of walks leading from the Col Rodella peak to the surrounding mountains, including the picturesque Plattkofel and Langkofel ranges. The beautiful Val Duron valley, which is surrounded by rolling fields and woods, can also be reached on foot from Campitello and has plenty of places to stop off for mid-walk refreshments.
Another great way to explore the unspoilt landscapes of the Fassa Valley is on two wheels. Rent a mountain bike from the village and head to the famous Sellaronda course or the Bike Park in Canazei for thrilling downhill tracks.
Family friendly activities
Near to the Col Rodella cable car is the Ischia sports centre, which makes for a great family day out. Activity wise, there’s something for all ages, including a climbing wall, football, tennis and basketball courts, a golf course, horse riding stables, and landing fields for hang-gliding and paragliding.
Campitello is also home to a fun adventure park that both adults and children can enjoy, with a selection of aerial trails, bridges, high ropes and ziplines. For something a little bit different, there’s the chance to have a go at the latest sport phenomenon in the Fassa Valley – grass skiing in Canazei. With so much choice on offer, you shouldn’t struggle to find something to keep everyone in the family entertained.
