Welcome to Moena
Moena is the gateway to the Val di Fassa and marks the ideal border with the nearby Valle di Fiemme. It rises out of a splendid and amazing alluvial basin surrounded by some of the most alluring and astonishing Dolomite groups which include the Latemar, the Valaccia and the green expanses of the Costalunga pass. It is the main town of the Valle di Fassa, known both in Italy and abroad as the fairy of the Dolomites, which encapsulates its great charm and tradition which are linked to stories lost in the mists of time. The village, which is very well looked after architecturally, is very notable for the great attractive elegance seen in the boutiques, where you have the chance to satisfy your most demanding high-class shopping desires.
Furthermore, Moena has shown in recent years that is very responsive to the Ladin culinary tradition and provides successful gastronomic reviews such as Dinner with King Laurino in winter and Flavours of autumn in September. In summer the area offers its guests many walking opportunities and many mountain bike tracks of varying grades of difficulty. It is already the classic mountain bikers' homeland where the route of the Rampilonga runs which with its 4500 participants has become the largest mountain bike marathon in Italy. Moena has three fractions: Sorte, Someda and Forno, more ancient than the others. The Marcialonga, 70 kms long, takes place here, and people who love the nature are not allowed to miss the Fairy of the Dolomite enrosadira, an astonishing natural phenomeno which paints the peaks with a hot red riflexed of the Dolomia. |
