Fassa Valley
The Fassa Valley is one of those privileged places where nature has generously
dispensed some gifts of singular beauty and where the meeting between man and
nature reaches the top of its meaning.
The Valley is set in the heart of the
Alps and is surrounded by the most known mountains of the world: the Dolomites.
Indeed, the Fassa Valley can be seen as the synonym of Dolomites: from the
Queen of the Dolomites, the "Marmolada", to the "Catinaccio" (Rosengarten for
German people) and known in the legends as the abode of King Laurino, to the
"Sassolungo", just to cite the most important massives.
Magic pinnacles, protagonists
of thousands of legends, magic mountains where the Ladin people live: this
proud population, living here since 2000 years, is now an ethnic minority protected
in its language, culture and traditions. These mountains have deeply contributed
to mark the first steps for the world-wide alpinism and have given prosperity
to this valley.
