Great boarding and parks

Mon 16 April 2012 snowbunny

Had an amazing holiday here, there were about 8 parks that we could reach from Canazei which were great.The pistes are really well maintained and quiet, the only odd queues we hit were on the Sella Ronda circuit but they were all under 5 minutes. The prices were much more reasonable than France and the portions are massive. 1 pizza can easily feed two people so we were having lunch and 2 beers for under 15€ and the pizzas are really really good. We stayed in a small catered chalet called Cesa du Mont in the next village and had fantastic food there too. There's a snowtubing park which is great fun (especially at night after a few drinks) and the apres ski was very lively especially in Paradiso Bar in Canazei. All in all, a fantastic holiday and we'll have to go back as we only covered about 20% of the huge area there!
