San Cassiano, in Italy, is a medium sized ski resort with 8 ski lifts (1 gondola, 5 chair lifts, 2 surface lifts) that offers skiers 3445 feet of vertical descent. San Cassiano has 25 pistes and is part of the Alta Badia ski areas with a total length of 130 kilometers (81 miles). It is also part of the Dolomiti Superski with more than 1.100 km of slopes. San Cassiano is best suited to beginner skiers and snowboarders but there is some terrain for intermediates but little of interest for expert skiers. There are 40 kilometers (25 miles) of cross country ski trails at San Cassiano. For snowboarders, there is a terrain park. About one third of the pistes at San Cassiano are covered by snow-making. The closest airport is Venice-Treviso but Innsbruck or Bolzano are also good transfer points (however, the transfer time is 2 hours). The nearest train station to San Cassiano is at Brunico or Calalzo. 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.
Resorts close to San Cassiano include:
La Villa (4 km),

Visitor Reviews of San Cassiano
John Tillotson from United Kingdom writes:
Without doubt the best place to ski in the world! I'm 65 and when in San Cassiano and the Dolomites I ski between 5 and 6 hrs each day for 3-4 weeks each year. We stop for lunch at one of the amazing mountain restaurants (food like mama used to make it....45 mins) and then off again for the afternoon. From 9am - 10am the slopes are empty.....Italians don't start skiing early. Get in for lunch early 11.45am and then you have the first part of the afternoon again with empty slopes. Do bars and spas etc when you've done a good days skiing......then you'll feel you've earned it. This year we skied under blue skies most days.....and although cold.....the snow was so so good!! For the 1st week we hardly skied the same run twice apart from beginning and end of the day......where else can you get skiing like that and with lift passes so fairly priced??
If you have kids, then here you find the most attentive lift attendants....always slowing the lift and helping youngsters onto the chairs.
Why am I telling you this? Now everyone will want to go!!
Alta Badia.....the Sella Ronda....the best skiing in the world!!
