Sunset Ritual at Ciampac: Yoga, Meditation & Mountain Supper Above Alba di Canazei

Perched at 2,100 meters above Alba di Canazei, the broad bowl of Ciampac offers one of the Dolomites’ most accessible summit-side stages. Sunset ritual al Ciampac brings movement, meditation and a mountain supper to this high meadow, where the pale dolomite ramps of the Colac and the serrated silhouette of the Sella Group frame the practice.

The evening begins at the Info Point beneath the Ciampac lift: a short gondola ride elevates the group into thin, fragrant air and expansive light. On arrival teachers lead a gentle Pilates warm-up on alpine grass with panoramic views across the Val di Fassa, before moving into a slow-flow yoga sequence and guided meditation tuned to the changing light. As the sun sinks, you’ll watch the Enrosadira—Dolomite peaks turning copper and rose—slide over ridgelines, an optical show tied to the carbonate composition of the rock.

After practice guests are guided to Rifugio Crepa Neigra for a healthy dinner that highlights regional ingredients and local mountain hospitality. The return is by cabinovia around 21:00, the descent under stars if skies are clear. The whole program runs about four hours and is offered on select summer dates; participation is free but reservation is mandatory.

What makes this experience special is scale and access: Ciampac’s high bowl gives beginners and practiced yogis alike an outdoor studio with uncompromised alpine perspective. The combination of movement, mindful quiet and a communal meal at a rifugio feels rooted in the mountain culture of the Dolomites, where refuges have long provided rest for shepherds, climbers and hikers. The Dolomites’ listing as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2009 underscores the region’s geological and scenic importance.

Practical notes: adults only, bring layered clothing for rapid temperature change, and modest footwear suitable for uneven grass. The meeting point is at the Ciampac Info Point in Alba; the lift ride makes the high altitude approachable without a long climb. Photographers will enjoy the shifting light on the Colac and the Sella Group; sound-sensitive attendees should expect quiet moments between guided instructions.

For visitors staying in Alba or nearby Canazei, this ritual is an efficient, restorative evening that showcases why Val di Fassa remains a go-to for outdoor wellness in the Dolomites—it's an invitation to slow down, inhale mountain air and watch the peaks blush as the day ends.

Guides recommend arriving with sunscreen, a warm windbreaker, and a headlamp for the descent; footwear with grip is helpful on damp grass. While the activity avoids technical exposure, hikers with limited mobility should check lift schedules and ask staff about assistance at the meeting point. The modest group size enhances a calm atmosphere, and the communal supper is a way to meet locals and fellow travelers.
