One of the most beautiful descents in the entire Val di Fassa. After a sunny start, you ski surrounded by woods, while the view opens up first onto the Catinaccio and then onto the rest of the valley. The slope alternates between fast sections and gentler slopes, offering ever-changing views. A pleasant and enjoyable descent, which also leaves room for some more adrenaline-fuelled passages. The finish is right next to the start of the ski lifts, so you'll be ready to go again in no time!

It is called ‘Buffy’s Lair‘ and it is a massive wooden maze. And massive it truly is! Its dimensions are genuinely impressive: it covers a remarkable 400 square meters, divided into many small corridors. The maze was created by Trentino artist Franz Avancini, using mostly wood and natural materials. A true work of art, just like the ones this artist has long accustomed us to.

Buffy’s lair is situated next to the Buffaure Refuge, just a few steps from the arrival of the cable car.

This is an original project designed for children, but one that will certainly intrigue and thrill adults as well. Everyone can venture inside the wooden corridors in search of Buffy the rabbit’s lair. Along the way, you might stumble upon three hidden alcoves containing various surprises. In short, it will be fun for all ages to find yourself momentarily lost among games and optical illusions, such as the hilarious upside-down room.

A fun and engaging way to forget about the world “outside” and get back to your childhood.

Finally, hidden at the center of the maze is the most anticipated surprise: a giant sculpture made of woven branches depicting Buffy the rabbit itself. But did you know that Buffy actually exists? He is none other than an adorable little rabbit from a litter that found shelter right next to the pack of wolves while it was under construction… So sweet and beloved that he was chosen as the official mascot of Buffaure.

The maze is generally accessible in winter as well.

Two kilometres and over 500 metres of elevation gain for this slope, which is the most direct route down to the valley. With an average gradient of over 30 per cent, reaching almost 58 per cent in some places, it is a challenging run even for the most experienced and demanding skiers. In addition to its technical characteristics, this slope, whose name recalls the volcanic origin of Buffaure, will also win you over with its beautiful view of Cima Dodici and Cima Undici.

Skiing at Buffaure not only offers you unique views, but also the opportunity to admire them against the backdrop of splendid land art works, all created in large dimensions with natural materials by the artist Franz Avancini. A pack of five wolves, an eagle made from more than 220 reclaimed larch boards... but also panoramic benches adorned with graceful butterfly or dragonfly wings, and giant deckchairs on which to rest between one descent and another.

Buffaure is also hospitality: four mountain huts where you can enjoy an aperitif, a tasty snack with traditional Ladin dishes or a hot drink. You can choose between the sunny terrace of El Zedron at 2,354 metres, the panoramic tables at Baita Cuz (where you can also sleep in a splendid suite with sauna), the more traditional style of the Buffaure Mountain Hut (where you can also stay overnight) or the more modern style of the new Chalet la Bolp. At the bottom of the slopes, you will also find the refined Dolomites Geyser, a popular meeting place for après-ski in Pozza di Fassa.
