Cross-Country Trails<\/em> \u2013 Not everyone enjoys the thrill of downhill skiing.\u00a0 Still others like to balance out their exhilarating descents with peaceful cross-country treks.\u00a0 San Cassiano has a number of excellent trails that offer fitness combined with magnificent views of the surrounding mountain ranges.<\/p>\n

Spectacular Sunsets<\/em> \u2013 There is really nothing quite like watching the fiery sun as it sets behind the peaks of the mighty Dolomites, and the San Cassiano offers a particularly good view of this breathtaking daily spectacle.\u00a0\u00a0 Enjoy a delicious world-class meal and a glass of local wine while watching the brilliant pink, red and orange hues as they caress the mountain tops or enjoy a late afternoon cross-country outing in the waning light of the sun as it descends into the night.<\/p>\n
