HOW TO GET HERE

By plane
There are four airports within a 3 hour drive to Arabba. Bolzano 77km, Treviso San Giuseppe 150km, Venezia Marco Polo 160km and Innsbrook 145km. Easyjet being one of the low-cost airlines which fly to Innsbrook. Although some of the airports do offer a shuttle bus into the Dolomities over the weekend, it is probably easier to arrange your own transport from the airport

By train
You can catch a Eurostar from London Waterloo or Ashford in Kent to Paris, connecting with the overnight train to Verona and then a local train to your ski region followed by transfer to the resort via a regular SAD bus service.

The train stations of Fortezza, Bressanone, Chiusa and Bolzano all have links with the IC and EC fast train with Italy and the rest of Europe. The train station of Brunico is 42km away from Arabba and Belluno is 70km. You can plan your route by checking out the Italian and German rail networks.

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

WHY WE RECOMMEND IT?

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 après-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.

About the ski resort Arabba Marmolada - Dolomiti Superski

Arabba Marmolada Dolomiti Superski: First Italian Ski Vacation Possibility


What would the world do without skiing in Italy? This hard-to-fathom hypothesis was a reality back in the 1940s until the later 1960s. The Arabba Marmolada Dolomiti Superski wasn’t back then what it is today - one of the most important skiing areas in not only Italy but also Europe.

Most of the Arabba Marmolada Dolomiti Superski skiing takes places at the base of the Marmolada Glacier, often referred to in the local language as the "Queen of the Dolomites". After skiing took off after the World War(s), hundreds of people flocked here to get some needed fun and skiing. Back then, there was no cableway (1957) or drag, chair, cable lift or gondola to transport skiers to the top. Back then, a ski holiday was more work and involved trudging uphill for hours at a time.

In this day and age of easiness and technology, however, the 3342 altitude can be reached in a matter of mere minutes, not hours. The difficult journey is now accessible just 160 km from the nearest airport in Venezia (Venice).
Skiers, snowboarders and outdoor lovers alike can get off at the Belluno railway station and grab a direct bus for Arabba Marmolada Dolomiti Superski in no time.

There are 31 total ski runs for 62 km. Since Arabba Marmolada Dolomiti Superski is so high, the longest ski run last for 12 km - what a ride! Of course, the same ski pass gives patrons access to the Dolomiti Superski area.
