Location & what to see

Santa Maria ad Nives is located in Penia, the highest hamlet of Canazei, in Val di Fassa, an authentic mountain setting surrounded by the Dolomites. The area retains the character of a small alpine village, with wooden and stone chalets and a quiet pace, ideal for those seeking the mountains without the bustle of the main tourist centre.

The Ciampac ski area lifts are just 300 metres away, while the centre of Canazei can be reached in about 5 minutes by car. The Canazei-Belvedere cable car is 2.5 km away, Passo Pordoi is about 17 minutes by car, and Bolzano, with its airport, is less than an hour’s drive away. In the immediate surroundings there are also a few venues for quick meals, such as Bar De Penia at 200 metres and the restaurant El Panarel at about 450 metres.

In winter, the location is a convenient base for skiing in the Ciampac ski area and for reaching the other sectors of the Dolomiti Superski via Passo Pordoi. In summer, the area is well suited to hikes towards the Sella Group and the Marmolada, with the Gran Vernel, a peak of 3,210 metres, visible just a few kilometres from the hotel. The nearby Canazei Playground is a convenient option for families with young children looking for outdoor activities.
