Varena is a small village in the Fiemme Valley. About 800 people live here at the foot of Mt. Schwarzhorn.
If one for the biggest Christmas cribs in the whole world as well as the Passo Lavazè with its ski slopes and cross-country ski center, Varena would probably be no more than a mere one-horse town right in the middle of the mountains. But it is exactly this giant Christmas crib which makes Varena so special. The Nativity Story is told on an area of unbelievable 2500 m² with 90 biblical figures and 120 animal figures. A 700 m long path leads right through this amazing crib-area.
The 8 km distant Passo Lavàze is, however, more interesting for athletes. There are a lot of sunny slopes and cross-country ski runs, all together 80 km. There is no need to say that the Passo Lavàze is also a rewarding area in summer with its attractive hiking paths and mountain bike tracks.
