Moena, Alpine commune in Val di Fassa, Italy
Description
Moena is a commune in Val di Fassa within the Dolomites, surrounded by rock formations such as Catinaccio and Latemar. The town center sits on a high plateau where several valleys converge and walking trails lead into the mountain ranges.
History
The commune developed during the Middle Ages as a crossing point between Trentino and South Tyrol, shaping its role as a trading station. In the 20th century the town grew through alpine tourism and winter sports.
Culture
Residents speak Ladin as the historical language of the valleys, visible in place names and local customs. Workshops around town show craftspeople working with traditional woodcarving and joinery methods.
Practical
The area suits hiking in summer and skiing in winter, with marked paths and lifts in the surrounding mountains. Local shops and lodging concentrate in the historical town center, which can be reached on foot.
Did you know?
Some houses in the town center still show old wooden galleries on upper floors, once used for drying hay. These arcade walkways are typical of Ladin building style and today often decorated with flowers.
