Campitello di Fassa, Italian comune
Campitello di Fassa is a small mountain commune in the Dolomites, located at roughly 1,100 meters (3,600 feet) elevation. The town has narrow streets lined with stone buildings featuring wooden balconies and terracotta roofs, surrounded by jagged limestone peaks and rocky formations.
Campitello became one of the first places in the Fassa Valley where tourism and mountaineering developed in the early era of alpine travel. The town's stone buildings with wooden details and rural farm structures reflect centuries of mountain farming and pastoral traditions that shaped the settlement.
A cable car from town takes visitors quickly to Col Rodella and higher elevations for hiking and views. A modern sports facility at the base offers climbing walls, ice skating, and playing fields, while hiking trails of varying difficulty start from different points and connect to mountain huts serving local food and snacks.
The region takes its name from the small Rio river that flows through the village, adding to its character. The area is part of a protected environment that has kept the landscape relatively untouched, preserving the Ladin cultural traditions and language spoken by residents.
