Things to Do in Moena

A 15th-century stone church with well-preserved frescoes inside. Its simple bell tower stands over the main square. Services are in the local Ladin dialect.

🕐 Open daily 9am-6pm

💡 Pop in mid-afternoon when the light hits the frescoes. The wooden pews were hand-carved in the 1700s. No flash photography.

A paved walking path that loops around the base of the Sassolungo mountain, with panoramic views of Val di Fassa. Benches and info panels dot the route.

🕐 Open 24/7, best used dawn to dusk

💡 Start early to catch the sunrise glow on the rock face. The 4km loop takes about an hour at a steady pace. Wear sturdy shoes—the path gets icy in spring.

A small alpine lake with vividly coloured water, known as the Rainbow Lake. It's a short walk from the main road with clear views of the Dolomites. Entry requires a small parking fee in summer.

🕐 Open 24/7, parking booth staffed 8am-7pm in season

💡 Visit just after sunrise or before sunset for the best light and fewest crowds. The bus from Moena costs €2 and drops you at the trailhead.

A large nature reserve with marked trails through pine forests and meadows. Look out for deer and red squirrels. The visitor centre has exhibits on local wildlife and a small playground.

🕐 Park open 24/7; visitor centre 9am-5pm Jun-Sep

💡 Take the free map from the visitor centre. The 'Sentiero degli Gnomi' trail is flat and great for kids. Bring water—only one fountain near the centre.

A small museum dedicated to the Ladin language and traditions of the Dolomites region. Exhibits include folk costumes, woodworking tools, and a reconstructed farmhouse kitchen.

🕐 Tue-Sun 10am-12:30pm, 3pm-6pm; closed Mon
