The village of Pozza di Fassa and the smaller Pera Hamlet are nestled within the stunning surroundings of the Cima Undici and Cima Dodici mountain range, with breathtaking views of the striking Vajolet Towers.

Getting here takes about 2.5 hours from Venice and Verona airports and if you’re planning to take the train, Bolanzo and Trento are the nearest stations and have bus and taxi links to the resort. As a ski destination, this small, picturesque village offers snow-lovers a laid-back atmosphere on and off the piste, perfect for a relaxing family getaway. Groups of all abilities will love cruising the piste and stopping off for lunch in one of many charming mountain huts whilst couples can enjoy quality time in the midst of the romantic Dolomites.

Free from crowds, Pozza has maintained its lovable alpine charm whilst kitted out with everything you need for a holiday on the slopes. The thermal baths at Central Termi Dolomiti offer a wonderful way to wind down in the evening – the natural sulphurous waters make Pozza unique in the region. There’s a charming Italian vibe in the village itself with quaint architecture and a number of traditional Italian restaurants serving delicious local cuisine.

The Buffuare ski area sits above the village has 25km of fantastic skiing to explore before heading out further afield in the beautiful Val di Fassa and magnificent Sella Massif.

On the Val di Fassa/ Carezza ski pass you’re able to explore areas including Col Rodella, Belvedere and Carezza and you can ski straight over to Alba di Canazei from Buffaure. The Dolomiti Superski pass is also available and this gives you access to the rest of the resorts around the Sella Massif- you’ll need to purchase this if you’re looking to ski the infamous Sella Ronda ski tour.

Best Time to Visit Pozza di Fassa

Previous years have seen wonderful conditions throughout the season. You’ll usually find the winter period, from December through till March, has the best snow, with the later end of the season seeing doses of lovely Italian sunshine. Italy can sometimes have less snowfall than other European resorts but snowmaking technology means decent coverage. On sunny spring days skiers should catch the first lift to make the most of snow on the higher slopes before kicking back at a sunny balcony for a drink in the afternoon rays.

The resort is usually busiest during the Christmas week but remains free from crowds. February half term isn’t too busy as whilst the Val di Fassa is popular with British families, Italians don’t have a half-term so there’s no influx of locals getting their snow fix. As it’s such a great base for skiing the Sella Ronda, the Buffuare area is rarely busy as skiers and boarders tend to disperse across the mountain.
