Val di Fassa - nice resort, but I wouldn't go back (except for the food!) (Sella Ronda)

Advantages: The gorgeous Italian food and the spectacular views of the dolomites

Disadvantages: Too crowded, no handsfree passes, not enough challenging slopes

We went to Val di Fassa, which is part of the Sella Ronda. I'd say the best thing about the holiday was the fact that there are so many nice blues - some good long runs, and the food was just AWESOME! Man, I love Italy for that! But skiing-wise, I've had better. I don't like it when the different bits are too spread out, and you have to keep getting on skibusses. it's just a hassle...Having said that, it was quite an adventure, and I got to see a lot more than previous holidays, where we've just skied all day long and then never left the hotel at night. There were also a lot of queues, especially when we skiied the areas towards the left of the piste map. We found it least crowded going up on the Buffaure gondola and skiing around that section, but there's not enough there to keep you entertained for more than 1 day really...

Summary: A good solid resort, if a little spread-out
