Falcade is a traditional Alpine village located in the heart of the Agordino valley, boasting a strategic position, surrounded by the renowned walls of the Civetta massif and the gentle meadows of the San Pellegrino Pass.
The majestic DOLOMITES contribute to the advantageous location with some of their best players, located within short reach: the Pale di San Martino group, the Focobon peaks, the Civetta massif, the Marmolada massif with its glacier and the Cime d’Auta range.
The area’s geological and cultural uniqueness have triggered, back in 2009, the inclusion of the Dolomites into the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. The acknowledgement of these peculiar features turns your holiday in Falcade into a discovery journey through landscapes, culture, arts and crafts, customs, traditions and cuisine to be found nowhere else.
Perfectly snow-capped slopes await Alpine ski lovers in winter, offering different degrees of difficulty and catering for all ages and skills. To make the experience even more enjoyable, the Col Margherita top cable car station (2513m a.s.l.) will delight you with unforgettable sceneries and a breathtaking 360° view.
The Biois Valley, where Falcade is located, takes its name from the river flowing through its main villages. Over the years, it has vastly contributed to the Italian winter sports’ scenario with many champions who managed to distinguish themselves in their discipline. Cross country skiing is one of the most fruitful disciplines in this context.
It is not “only” about Alpine Ski though, there is something for everyone to enjoy: ice-skating, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, on-the-slopes après-ski and tasty traditional cuisine are just some of the activities awaiting for you in Falcade.
We look forward to welcoming you in the stunning Dolomites!
