Dinner at a mountain hut in the Fassa Valley is an unmissable experience of a mountain vacation in the heart of the Dolomites.

Departure is planned for 7 p.m. from Passo Sella, and with a snowcat or tracked quad you will reach the hut in about 10 minutes from which you can admire the snowy panorama of the Dolomites.

The lodge offers a choice of a 3- or 4-course menu consisting of both traditional and more elaborate dishes, while drinks will be excluded.

Among the dishes offered you can find beef carpaccio with arugula and potato chips, tagliatelle with venison ragout and berries, or tagliata with wedge potatoes and crispy vegetables. Suggestions for the little ones are also available.

Dinner ends about 10 p.m. and you will be escorted back to the meeting point.

Let yourself be transported by a snowmobile piloted by an experienced guide to a typical cabin in Val di Fassa, one of the most beautiful valleys in the Dolomites in Trentino.
