Arabba is a small village right by the Porta Vescovo gondola; most hotels are a few steps from the lift and the Sella Ronda starts at your door.
Arabba is the smallest and quietest of the four Sella Ronda villages, but it has the steepest, snowiest pisted skiing thanks to its mostly north-facing slopes and a link to the 3265 m Marmolada glacier. Its 63 km of local piste skew red and black, and the full Sella Ronda circuit plus the rest of Dolomiti Superski are at the door. A favourite of strong intermediate and expert skiers who want the Dolomite scenery without the crowds.

The season runs from Dec 7 to Apr 21, with a snow score of 84/100. The best conditions are usually from late January through February, while spring skiing in March and April brings longer days and softer afternoons.
