With a laidback vibe and lots of family-run hotels and restaurants, Selva’s your typical Dolomites town, with incredible views wherever you turn. And you can really see the mix of cultures here too – there’s a big Ladin community and the town’s even got its own German name, Wolkenstein.
Madonna’s got a more high-end feel, so you can spend days here people-watching outside cafés with a coffee or spritz, browsing boutiques and unwinding in thermal springs. And there’s plenty to explore outside town. Take lifts up to mountain huts and stroll through the national park, or visit local villages.
Molveno’s an authentic lakeside village that serves up the winning combination of a glistening blue water backed by thick green forests and spiky mountains stretching into the sky just beyond. Like Madonna, it’s in the Brenta Dolomites, and there’s no shortage of wow-worthy views here, as well as a whole load of history to uncover.
Val di Fassa’s the perfect mix of natural beauty and local culture, and it’s easy to get around the valley by bus. The biggest villages here are Canazei and Campitello, where you’ll find plenty of authentic food to try as well as local craft shops. If you fancy a bit of pamper time, head just down the valley to Pozza di Fassa for its thermal hot springs and spas.
