2010 SCENIC TOURS AND
EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS

We created the "Fiber Summit Series Abroad (FSSA)" to enable enthusiasts of fiber arts to convene several times a year in exotic and beautiful settings. FSSA's homebase is located in the Italian Tyrolean Alps and Venice.

Knitters, crocheters, hand spinners, weavers, quilters, dyers, students of Kumihimo, and enthusiasts of Temari, embroidery and other needle arts all belong to an extended fiber community that enjoy a wonderful comraderie and understanding of each other based in a shared passion. It makes me extremely happy to provide unique environments where we can share each others' creativity while visiting some of the most beautiful and breath-taking locations on Earth.

This vacation is the core package in our dossier. It has many wonderful and unexpected activities and excursions that appeal to everyone, from families with young children to couples just starting out, retirees and everyone in between! This package also is highly customizable, making it the perfect choice for private groups that choose to travel in a private tour environment or as the base structure for educational conferences and workshops seeking an exotic setting for their students.

This tour includes:
  • Morning snack and bottled water served on the bus
  • Cable Car ride to the top of scenic Sass Pordoi
  • Several stops for photographic opportunities
  • Assistance by our full-time outdoor/ nature photography instructor
  • Lunch at the famous and scenic Rifugio Salei in Passo Sella
Our one-day scenic bus tour introduces our guests to some of the most beautiful Dolomitic Passes.  Our itinerary includes San Martino di Castrozza, Passo Rolle, Passo Valles, Passo San Pellegrino, Moena, Canazei, Val di Fassa, Cable Car Ride to the top of Sass Pordoi, Lunch at Rifugio Maria at the top of Sass Pordoi (shorter day tour), Passo Sella to the Rifugio Salei for Lunch (longer day tour), Predazzo, Val di Fiemme, Parco Naturale Paneveggio.


This scenic tour is listed as a fiber workshop, but we enthusiastically welcome guests interested only in the scenic portions of the vacation. All guests will participate together in the morning group excursions and custom lunches. After lunch, workshop students attend class, while scenic tour guests are free to explore and relax for the rest of the day.
