APRÈS SKI San Cassiano has a quiet après ski scene, comprising of several gourmet Michelin star restaurants, sophisticated bars and a few elegant boutiques, although as the resorts in Alta Badia, nearby La Villa Corvara and Colfosco, offer a more lively cosmopolitan scene. There are also a number of other amenities including swimming pools, ice rinks and sports centres. ACTIVITIES Apart from the local sport centre, swimming pool and ice rink, the place serves as a beloved destination for hikers and mountaineers alike as the rock faces of the Courturines, La Varella, Settsass and Lagazuoi mountains are really worth exploring. There is also an interesting hike to the Russian chapel near Passo Valparola.
