About Arabba

Arabba is the most serious ski resort on the Sella Ronda circuit — a compact, altitude-blessed village in the heart of the Italian Dolomites that trades the manicured charm of its neighbours for genuinely challenging terrain and direct access to the Marmolada glacier, the highest point in the Dolomites at 3,269m. The resort's 63km of local piste is weighted heavily towards reds and blacks, with the fearsome Porta Vescovo sector offering sustained steep skiing that tests even accomplished skiers — this is not the gentle cruising terrain that characterises much of the Dolomiti Superski network. Arabba's position as the toughest corner of the Sella Ronda makes it the preferred base for expert skiers who want to explore the full circuit without the tourist crowds of Val Gardena or Alta Badia. The village itself is small and authentically Ladin, with a handful of family-run hotels, excellent mountain hut dining (rifugios), and none of the commercialised atmosphere of larger Dolomite resorts. For US skiers seeking the steepest terrain in the Dolomites with guaranteed snow coverage from the Marmolada glacier, Arabba delivers an experience that feels closer to a steep Alpine resort than a typical Italian ski holiday.
