About Cesa del Louf
At 827 square metres, Cesa del Louf is one of the most substantial private chalets in the Dolomites, set within its own grounds above Arabba on the Sella Ronda circuit. The property has its own private ski slope with rope tow — a rare feature that allows guests to ski laps without leaving the estate — alongside a heliport for those arriving by air. Inside, a 150 square metre wellness area houses an indoor counter-current swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, hammam, and emotional shower. Eight suites accommodate up to ten guests, with south-facing balconies and terraces framing views across the Dolomite peaks. A cinema room, wood-burning fireplace, and dedicated office space round out the interior. Practical ski infrastructure is well covered: a ski room with boot warmers, garage parking for three cars, and direct ski-in/ski-out access from the property. Additional annexe accommodation is available at extra cost. This is a property built around the idea of complete self-sufficiency — guests can ski, recover, eat, and sleep without ever needing to leave the grounds.
The Layout
The property consists of two interconnected historic buildings: the 'Maso' (main house) and the 'Masotto' (annex), linked by an internal passage.

Location
Cesa del Louf sits on an elevated hillside just outside Arabba's village centre, with views across the Sella Massif. The village is around 700 metres away — a 15-minute downhill walk — where a handful of bars and restaurants provide an authentic taste of the Italian Alps. The nearest ski lift, Burz, is approximately a four-minute drive, offering access to beginner and intermediate pistes as well as the Sella Ronda tour and the Great War ski circuit. More confident skiers can access the ski area directly from the property via off-piste terrain. The main lift station, a short distance further through the village, connects to the Marmolada glacier and the wider Dolomiti Superski network — one of the largest lift-linked ski areas in the world. Arabba sits within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, adding a cultural dimension beyond the skiing.

Arabba is a highly regarded, traditional Ladin village nestled at 1,602m in the heart of the Italian Dolomites. Unlike some of its more glitzy neighbors, Arabba prioritizes serious skiing, offering some of the most challenging and snow-sure pistes in the Sella Ronda circuit. Its north-facing slopes on Porta Vescovo are famous for their steep, exhilarating reds and blacks that hold excellent snow throughout the entire season. Directly connected to the Marmolada glacier—the highest peak in the Dolomites at 3,269m—Arabba gives skiers access to breathtaking long descents, including the famous 12km 'La Bellunese' run. The village itself retains a quiet, rustic charm with cozy mountain huts, authentic Italian dining, and a laid-back atmosphere, making it a haven for dedicated winter sports enthusiasts who value terrain over vibrant nightlife.
Arabba offers the most demanding terrain on the Sella Ronda, with steep, icy north-facing slopes that thrill advanced skiers. Beginners and intermediates can enjoy the sunnier slopes towards the Alta Badia border, or embark on the legendary 500km connected Sella Ronda circuit directly from the village.
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for dramatic limestone peaks and a massive interconnected lift network spanning 1,200km of pistes.
