The tourist resort is located between the Canin and the Montasio mountains and offers wonderful views that attract Italian, Austrian and Slovenian tourists all-year round. During the winter season 15 km of slopes, modern services and technologies (among which a modern cableway) draw skiers and mountain climbers to an height close to 2000 meters in order to practice the different distance medleys surrounded by a breath-taking view where the snowfalls are always heavy. Moreover, when the year goes on and the landscape becomes green, the Canin cableway is open and the area becomes the scenary of hikes and Nordic walking that lead the tourists to discover quiet and hidden places. Not far from here, there’s the enchanting Predil lake where it is possible to practice canoa, windsurf, hydro-bike or just lay down and relax in a peaceful site. Therefore, it is an alpine village characterised by a broad offer of activities to practice in order to fulfil the needs of a wide variety of targets both in summer time and in winter. Finally, we remind you that the works for the connection with the Slovenian ski-resort of Bovec will be finished within December 2009 when, thanks to a new modern cable-way for 100 persons, the two ski resorts will present an expanded and international offer.

I, my wife and two kids (aged 15 and 11) skied at Sella Nevea - Kanin from December 20-30 of 2017. They had a lot of snow then so the skiing was good. In fact, they had to close the gondola for half a day due to an almost 2 foot snowfall while we were there. Coming from the US we found it to be surprisingly affordable. We stayed at Refugio Julia which is an historic Inn a short walk to the lift. The staff there were excellent and the food and drink were good and inexpensive for a resort area. Lift tickets were about $55 per day for adults and ski / snowboard rental was very reasonable. There are 2-3 restaurants in the village; enough variety for a 7-10 day stay. The biggest problem was the lack of beginner and intermediate runs. In fact, the main runs from the gondola back down to the base are fairly steep but well groomed; I had to walk and carry my daughter's skis down the steepest part. The only beginner slope, besides the bunny hill at the base, is a short run in a bowl at the top of the first gondola. Sella Nevea is a fairly long drive from the closest major airports but once you get there you really feel like you've gotten away from the mainstream. It was never too crowded even during their peak time (Christmas to New Year). I highly recommend it for an affordable, out of the way ski vacation.
