Canazei, Mountain municipality in Val di Fassa, Italy
Canazei sits at 1,465 meters in elevation, surrounded by the peaks of Sassolungo, Sella Group, and Marmolada in the Dolomites mountain range.
The settlement's name evolved from the Latin word cannacetum, referring to a marshy area where reeds grew abundantly during earlier periods.
The residents, known as Pazedins, maintain the Ladin language and traditions, with 82.4 percent of the population declaring Ladin as their native language in 2001.
The municipality integrates into the Sella Ronda ski circuit, providing 42 kilometers of slopes and access points to Passo Sella, Passo Pordoi, and Passo Fedaia.
The Chiesetta della Madonna della Neve, constructed in 1595, displays a distinctive onion-domed bell tower and features a Saint Christopher painting on its southern wall.
