San Cassiano

Cute Alpine houses adorned in summer with flower cascades, a picturesque church with an onion-shaped dome and a splendid frame of the Dolomites... Even the cows on pastures seem to play a part in the perfect scenery that acts as a backdrop for San Cassiano, an idyllic mountain village at the foot of mighty Lavarella. Its characteristic pedestrian area is just 1 km away from the Apart-Hotel and B&B Ai Pini and can be reached on foot in some 10-15 minutes. Here you have the opportunity to soak up the typical Ladin atmosphere in all its diversity thanks to a rich program of events, that every year invite you into a sensory trip through culture, gastronomy and sports. In winter, it's here that you will find a picturesque Christmas market with live music, a lively New Year's eve party and even a ski show in the central square. While in summer, it's time for traditional processions, concerts, artisans' markets, festivals and candle-light evenings. And don't miss a visit into the Ursus Ladinicus Museum, that preserves interesting archaeological artefacts but also organizes didactic activities for children and even unusual gastronomic events.
