By car
Arabba is not far from a network of motorways which provides good access to most parts of Europe from its location in northern Italy. In fact, the Innsbruck to Verona route is one of the most heavily travelled on the continent. Once away from the motorway the journey becomes very different, though, with occasionally thick traffic winding through mountain villages on single lane roads.

From the west, Arabba can be reached via Selva and then over various passes, or by leaving the motorway at Bolzano and heading via Canazei (again involving passes). The route from the south is motorway for the majority of the way and then a single main road for 90 minutes.

Distances
Innsbruck 150km - north over the Brenner pass to the Austrian motorway junction at Innsbruck Venice 132km - south through the mountains to the motorway east and west Verona 214km - west to the motorway and then south to the major junction at Verona

A charming, small village located between the Pordoi and the Campologno mountain passes, in the heart of the Dolomiti Superski – an excellent point of departure to the Sella Ronda, which connects 4 passes of the Dolomites : Alta Badia (Corvara), Belvedere (Fassa), Val Gardena without taking your skies off!

The whole area offers great intermediate skiing, but Arabba is best known for the challenges it provides for better skiers and boarders. The local Portavescovo ski centre - 62km of perfectly groomed slopes and 31 modern cable cars, is situated at an altitude of 2600m not far from the Marmolada glacier.

Ski holidays in Arabba offer a relaxed atmosphere for non-skiers, great for those who want to just chill out. Visitors should not expect a rocking nightlife or an aprčs-ski hangout, but a quiet traditional Italian mountain village with some excellent skiing.

Eating out & Nightlife
The resort has a number of good restaurants, about 15 in fact which serve a range of traditional and Italian cuisine. Not known for its lively nightlife, Arabba none-the-less has more than 20 bars - many of them parts of hotels or restaurants - to choose from.

Peter`s Bar is one of the more popular whilst the Pub La Stube near the Hotel Vescovo tends to attract most of the `boarding fraternity. Although there is no night club here the Sporthotel Arabba has a popular Austrian bar that opens at 9pm and stays open until late; live music is performed here regularly. The nearest late night discotheques are in Corvara or the Chalet al Lago in Alleghe.
