Arabba sits at the foot of the Porta Vescovo massif in the eastern Dolomites, positioned at around 1,600 metres and forming a key gateway to the vast Sellaronda circuit — one of the most celebrated ski touring loops in the Alps, linking four valleys across more than 40 kilometres of marked runs. The village itself is compact and walkable, with ski lifts, restaurants, and equipment hire all within easy reach. Hotel Olympia benefits from direct ski-in, ski-out access, meaning there is no shuttle or transfer required to reach the pistes each morning. Arabba is quieter and more authentic in character than some of the larger Dolomite resorts, attracting skiers who prioritise terrain over après-ski spectacle. Road and transfer connections to Venice Marco Polo and Innsbruck airports make it accessible from the UK without excessive travel time.

The thrilling, steep heart of the Dolomites' legendary Sella Ronda.
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.
