There is accommodation located close to the pistes but we would welcome additional information about any hotels or chalets in San Cassiano.

Visitor Reviews of San Cassiano
Han Giok Kwee Netherlands from Netherlands writes:
We visit San Cassiano for many years and always with our caravan (in winter) there is a beautiful located camp-ground
Because of the location at 1550 m there is always snow and the ski lifts are not too far. Cross-country skiing starts directly on the camp-ground. Prices for very good food & drinks are affordable and not as high as Switzerland & Austria.
Besides that the population is mostly very friendly (grumpy people are to find anywhere).
