Arabba ski holidays offer an excellent selection of slopes ranging from open to woodland pistes. From Arabba, you can ski to the highest mountain in the Dolomites, the Marmolada.

Surrounded by some of the most beautiful peaks in the Dolomites, ski holidays in Arabba are filled with spectacular scenery. As one of the higher resorts in the region along with shady runs, you can be confident of decent snow. However, the snowmaking is extensive if you’re unlucky with fresh snowfall.

Arabba’s slopes are divided into three distinct areas: one directly above the village, on the slopes below the Porta Vescovo with lifts linking up to the Passo Pordoi and Canazei, and finally, the lifts linking up to the Passo Campolongo and Corvara.

Arabba’s local slopes offer some of the steepest terrain in the Sella Ronda, making it popular with more adventurous skiers. The north-facing blacks and reds from Porta Vescovo offer genuine challenges. Beginners could struggle here (although there is a nursery slope near the Burz chair). However, some blues would likely be listed as reds in other resorts. Freestylers can enjoy access to the terrain park from Le Pale chairlift which is full of jumps, rails and boxes.
