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 alluvial basin surrounded by some of the most alluring 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 charm and tradition which are linked to stories lost in the mists of time. The village, which is well looked after architecturally, is notable for the 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 winter, though, Moena thrives in the heart of the Ski Area Tre Valli, featuring a functional network of ski lifts and splendid slopes whether at Alpe di Luisa or at Passo San Pellegrino, as well as an equipped cross-country skiing centre.
