About Sporthotel Arabba
Sporthotel Arabba sits at the centre of one of the Dolomites' most respected ski villages, offering four-star hotel accommodation for two guests in the Italian Alps. Rooms are fitted with either twin or double beds, satellite TV and an in-room safe, with the majority looking out across the surrounding mountain terrain. The on-site facilities are well suited to recovery after a long day on the mountain: a hot tub, sauna and spa are available alongside a restaurant, bar and wine cellar, while a fireplace adds warmth to the communal spaces. The hotel operates on a ski-in, ski-out basis, placing the Dolomiti Superski network — one of the largest lift-linked ski areas in the world — directly on the doorstep. That network includes the Sellaronda circuit, a full-day ski route connecting four valleys across the Sella massif. A garden is also available for guests. This is a practical, well-positioned base for skiers who want direct slope access without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Location
Arabba sits at 1,600 metres in the eastern Dolomites, positioned at one corner of the Sellaronda circuit — a 26-kilometre ski route that links the Alta Badia, Val Gardena, Val di Fassa and Arabba valleys. The village is compact and walkable, with the hotel at its centre, close to the main lift infrastructure that feeds into the broader Dolomiti Superski area covering over 1,200 kilometres of piste. Arabba itself is a quieter resort by Dolomites standards, known for challenging terrain and reliable snow conditions at altitude. The village has restaurants, bars and ski hire facilities within easy reach. Road access is straightforward via the SS48, and the nearest airports are Innsbruck (approximately 100km) and Venice Marco Polo (approximately 170km).

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.
