Visitor Reviews of Canazei

Just back from our first visit to Canezei. Excellent snow conditions with only one and a half days skiing lost due to me not coping with very flat light (being an inexperienced bad weather/light skier). We stayed in the Astoria Hotel. Unfortunately, with the bath that Thomson/TUI had promised!
Excellent hotel facilities and staff, food was plentiful, delicious and adaptable to suit personal likes etc.
Back to the skiing ! - I am an average intermediate skier aged 61 - for me most slopes were easily skiable except initially for the more challenging reds and on the Sella Ronda Clockwise - some aspects of the red runs approaching and around Arabba. Take cash with you to the mountain restaurants as not all accept cards. Check and double check the run routes before and during your run (not always clearly signed). Great run back to the north end of town but be careful of other skiers as it narrows greatly during the last 200 metres or so. Do go for the ski areas well away from the main top of station ski areas and you will be rewarded with fewer competitors for the slopes! The Husky Pub Paradis (e) bar up and behind the Belvedere lift station in town is a great place for all of any age!
Plenty of nursery slopes for adults and absolutely great facilities for youngsters and babies and parents!
Due to the one day closure of all slopes in the area at Canazei we never made the hidden valley trip but I am assured that it is well worth it!
