The idyllic village in the heart of the Val di Fiemme valley is located on the Avisio river and directly opposite the majestic Lagorai chain, exactly where the valley makes a wide curve towards the north-east. Ziano di Fiemme consists of several districts: Zanon, Roda, Bosin and Zanolin. The village is surrounded by wide, mostly flat green fields and beautiful woods that extend to the village boundary.

Numerous summer and winter hiking trails lead through the surrounding mountains. In the colder months of the year, the area is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts - the Latemar and Alpe Cermis Ski Lifts are in the immediate vicinity and can also be reached by ski bus from Ziano. Cross-country skiers will find a track near the village.
