Vigo is located on an ample and sunny terrace. The Parish Church of San Giovanni and the Santa Giuliana Sanctuary are the symbols of the town - for centuries a religious, administrative and political capital of Val di Fassa. Since the early Nineteenth century, geologists and mountaineers began to arrive here, finding accommodation in the Inn called "Alla Corona D'Oro" (Golden Crown), inaugurated in Summer 1809.

The hamlets belonging to Vigo di Fassa are also beautiful to see - including Tamion, about 4 km from the main town, a hamlet that is still very typical and quiet. Between the houses you can still find the ancient hay barns, and a small church. In the summer, various walks allow you to discover all these beautiful and picturesque villages. In the winter, on the other hand, you can follow the route of Nativity Scenes, either on foot or using snowshoes.
 

Highlights:

The Santa Giuliana Sanctuary - The Gothic sanctuary of Santa Giuliana (patron saint of Val di Fassa) - the existence of which is recorded as far back as 1237 - is one of the oldest in the valley, and was built on the site of a prehistoric religious structure, the Ciaslìr fortified borough (castelliere). Below the church, it is possible to visit the War Cemetery, which is home to the bodies of 663 fallen soldiers of the First World War, coming from various countries which, at that time, belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

They have been collected and accurately archived in the Museo Mineralogico Monzoni (Monzoni Mineralogic Museum), just a short walk from the Parish Church of San Giovanni. In fact, all over the world Val di Fassa is renowned for its extraordinary wealth of fossil and coral formations, which originated thanks to volcanic henomena that involved the Dolomites in the distant past.
