There is accommodation located close to the pistes but we would welcome additional information about any hotels or chalets in San Cassiano. The area is cozy and far away from chaos but linked with Corvara and Sella Ronda. It is just 25km from Cortina and with the skibus it is possible to reach the Falsarego Pass, ski down to Cortina and back to San Cassiano through one of the most beautiful descente in the world, the Armentarola.

Visitor Reviews of San Cassiano
Warren Frost from UNITED KINGDOM writes:
San Cass is a great little town. It is an ideal venue for those looking for something quiet, rural and traditionally Italian. The hotel we stayed in (La Varella) was a small family run hotel with 28 rooms. Its chef (the son of the family) is truly gifted, producing traditional, local food worthy of any high class London restaurant. Whilst the rest of the family take excellent care of the hotel. Our room, although small, was very clean and bright. All fixtures and fittings were well appointed. The family really can't do enough for their guests. The whole hotel has a family warmth, made just a little bit more like home with the resident parrot, cat and dog.
It has easy access to the Alta Badia ski region, boasting so many blues that an intermediate skier (like me) can ski happily all week on blues, whilst more experienced skiers will still be happy. It also has access to the Sella Ronda (via Corvara). With some of the most stunning views I've ever seen and such variety of skiing, this is a perfect resort. There are a multitude of places to stop and eat in the area, all offering a great variety of food at similar prices to that of the village.
We will be back next year. So leave some room for us.
