It is located in the province of South Tyrol of the Trentino-Alto Adige region in the West Dolomites range of the Alps at an altitude between about 1,000 and 2,500 m with a difference of more than 1,000 m. It is the nearest ski resort to Campitello di Fassa, Canazei, Moena, and other villages in the namesake valley. The main feature of Val di Fassa ski resort is that it is a 1/12 part of the Dolomiti Superski, the biggest ski area in Italy and the second in the world with more than 500 km of connected slopes after Les 3 Vallées in France (600 km). The particular resort has more than 40 km of slopes and more than 30 ski lifts in total. It is also incredibly famous for the Sellaronda ski route around the namesake Sella Group, which is 40 km or 6 hours long, of which about 1/3 is actually skiing. The resort is best suitable for intermediate skiers — most of its slopes are red. For easy and advanced skiing, the resort has just about 10 km (mi) of blue and black slopes. The most common type of ski lift is a chairlift. The Val di Fassa season is from early December to mid-April in general.
