A breath of spring in the Dolomites
Spring in Val di Fassa is a season of transition, but far from empty. It is a bridge between winter and summer, a time of change, sometimes unpredictable, stretching from the end of the ski season to the beginning of summer. These are quieter weeks, ideal for those seeking nature, relaxation, hidden corners of the villages and a slower pace of life.
The first blossoms appear in the meadows, the days grow longer and milder, and the larch trees begin to bud. In barns and farmhouses, preparations are underway for the move to the mountain pastures; in vegetable gardens, work resumes, and the first geraniums appear on the balconies. It is the moment when the valley slowly comes back to life.
Even out of season, Val di Fassa continues to welcome visitors. A selection of hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs, farm stays, campsites, restaurants and pizzerias remain open, making it easy to plan a relaxing spring stay in the Dolomites.
