Arabba, Italy

Arabba is tucked away in south eastern corner the Dolomiti Superski region and is one of the region’s most enchanting and authentic mountain villages. Set at 1,602 metres altitude and with a local ski area ascending to over 3,000 metres this charming Italian resort combines breathtaking scenery with world-class skiing both in the local ski domain and the wider Sellaronda ski area.

Encircled by some of the most dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites, including the majestic Sella Massif and the Marmolada Glacier, Arabba offers access to over 500 kilometres of groomed pistes. From long, thrilling descents to gentle panoramic runs, the ski area suits both expert skiers and those who simply wish to savour the joy of skiing through sublime mountain landscapes.

For those seeking a true Dolomiti experience, Arabba’s direct connection to the Sellaronda circuit is a highlight. This legendary loop links four valleys and offers a full day’s skiing through ever-changing scenery, crossing into South Tyrol and back. A full circuit is an unforgettable journey through one of Europe’s most iconic ski regions.

Despite its world-class terrain, Arabba remains relatively quiet as a resort and is favoured by skiers who value understated luxury over crowds and nightlife. Its cobbled streets, traditional chalets and welcoming mountain refuges create an intimate, timeless atmosphere.
