About Vigo - presentation, information, photos and recommendations
Vigo - Fantastic Dolomites!
The cosy resort of Vigo (1,382 m) lies directly in front of a gorgeous panoramic view of Rosengarten (2,981 m). Not only does the idyllic location of the resort make it especially interesting, but also the lively resort centre boasts the characteristics of the old ruling system to this day. At one time, Vigo was a religious centre and home to the public administration headquarters of the valley. Despite its southern flair, there is less hustle and bustle than in the other remaining towns. Families will especially appreciate the manageable size of the resort. From pleasant walks through the forest and pure skiing delight to exciting climbing opportunities, Vigo holds its own as an excellent holiday destination for travellers.
SkiThe home ski area of Vigo di Fassa is Ciampedie, with 14 km of piste up to an altitude of 2,040 m. With the lift, the ski area is easily reached from the resort and draws you in with its easy and moderate level pistes. Families will especially appreciate this easily navigable ski area, of which also offers a Babypark and the ski school Vigo di Fassa, where kids can spend the day having fun under careful supervision.
With the "Val di Fassa-Carezza" lift pass, you gain access to a total of 114 km of piste and 59 lifts between altitudes of 1,200 m and 2,625 m with a selection of areas to choose from such as Alba, Canazei, Campitello, Karersee, Pozza, and Vigo. Here, you can expect to find numerous freeride and deep snow areas as well as an emphasis on moderate runs. Skiing pros can take on the black pistes such as the famous "Tomba" on the Ciampedie and illuminated pistes fans will definitely get their money's worth at Pozza.
With the Dolomiti Superski lift pass (available as an upgrade, for a fee) you gain access to a whopping 1,200 km of piste and 450 lifts in 12 ski areas (see see region)! Also belonging to the lift pass is the Sellaronda, where your day can be spent riding around (via skis and lifts) the 40 km of piste of the Sella-Massif, starting directly in the Fassatal. For snowboarders, large snowparks can be found in the areas of Alpe Lusia-Bellamonte and Belvedere, and a funpark with boardercross can be found in the Col Rodella.
Apres ski atmosphere can be found here in the huts all day long. In the evenings, apres ski fans romp around in the bars and cafes of the resort. A disco can be found in Vigo, but for even more variety, head over to the neighbouring resorts of Campitello and Canazei, where numerous bars and discos invite you in to party all night long.
Worth recommending is a visit to one of the restaurants, where you can try out traditional Ladin cuisine with its light, yet flavourful dishes. A perfectly fitting way to round off the evening is to enjoy a glass of wine from the region at the same time.
Leisure activities in the Fassatal leaves no wish unfulfilled: Paragliding, hang-gliding, ice hockey, ice skating, bowling, squash, or - when you're feeling romantic - a horse-drawn sledge ride through the areas enchanting, wintry landscapes- the possibilities are endless! For a relaxing and rejuvenating time, a visit to the "Eghes-Center" in Canazei is worth the visit: the swimming pool was built to model a roman bath.
Cross-country fans will definitely get their money's worth in the Fassatal. Discover a total of approx. 50 km of trails, all of which vary from easy to challenging levels of difficulty. The popular "Marcialonga" functions as both a classic cross-country trail as well as a marathon trail and runs over 70 km, from the Fassatal into the Fleimstal.
