Soraga di Fassa suits families and cross-country skiers who want a quiet Ladin village a short ski-bus ride from the lifts. The Dolomiti Superski network is a few minutes away by bus, but you cannot ski from the door, and most homes here sleep around four to six.
Soraga is one of the oldest settlements in the Fassa Valley, a village of around 700 people at about 1,200 metres, and most residents still speak Ladin as their first language. The name comes from the Latin super aqua, after its position on the Avisio stream, and beside the village it is dammed into the Soraga reservoir, held back by the Pezzè dam about 1 km above Moena. Wood carvers and sculptors work here, and the Catinaccio group and Roda di Vael rise above. Our homes sit close together in the village and mostly sleep four to six, with one much larger home for big groups. Evenings are quiet, with no nightlife to speak of.
A cable car reaches slopes starting at about 2,050 metres, with 14 km of mostly red runs and links towards Canazei and the Sellaronda.
The neighbouring comune just down the valley, about 1 km below the Pezzè dam at the end of the Soraga reservoir.
The cross-country track that runs past Soraga, popular with skiers in winter and linked to the Ciancoal loop.
Verona airport is around two to three hours away by car, depending on the route. By public transport, take the train to Trento and bus B104 to Soraga, which takes over four hours. A car makes ski days and shopping easier.
Winter is for skiing on the Dolomiti Superski network and cross-country on the Marcialonga track. Summer brings walks to the handicraft workshops and small hamlets, and bike paths that link Moena and Canazei.
Most people ride the ski bus a few minutes to the Dolomiti Superski lifts and sort hire at the lift base they will use. Buffaure, by cable car from Pozza di Fassa, is one option, with a floodlit slope on Wednesday and Friday evenings.
For a calm stay, yes. The tourist board pitches it at families and cross-country skiers, there is a children's playground, and the Buffaure ski area has a ski school and snow playground at Fraine in Pera.
There is a reservoir. Lago di Soraga, also called Lago di Pezzè, is an artificial basin on the Avisio, bordered by the village on its northern side, and it feeds a hydroelectric plant at Predazzo.
Canazei has the Belvedere ski area on its doorstep, which skiers from Soraga reach via Buffaure's links. Soraga is a quieter Ladin village with a cross-country track on hand, but downhill skiing always starts with a ski-bus ride.
