Carano is one of the oldest villages in the whole Fiemme Valley and it is situated close to Cavalese at 1000 m above sea level. It offers breathtaking views over the surrounding Dolomite-peaks, especially on the Mt. Pale di San Martino.
Like Cavalese and many other villages in the Fiemme Valley, Carano makes part of the Dolomiti Superski Association. That means: skiing on more than 500 km of slopes with one ski pass only. Really worth seeing is the ancient village core of Carano. There is the parish church S. Nicolò, built in 1193, and surrounded by a lot of medieval houses, some of them decorated with frescoes. Worth visiting is also the mineral water spring in the Via Val dell'Osta street. In the 18th century it was found out, that this water helps against rheumatism and skin diseases. From then onwards, many people came here to take cures. However in the last century the water cures were neglected. In recent days though the cures have had a comeback in Carano.
In brief: Carano is a typical Alpine village with Trentino style and medieval roots. Holiday makers will never get bored here, neither in winter nor in summer!
