About The Mountain
Arabba Ski Resort
The local pistes have 62 km to ski on and you also have the Sella Ronda pistes. it is an excellent resort for experts because a lot of the pistes are quite steep. in fact a few of the blues might be labeled as red runs! Snowboarders have to go and board in Canazei if they are looking for a snowpark. Snow reliability is excellent and there is extensive snowmaking equipment. It is not the best choice for beginners. Although queueing has improved it can still get busy at the bottom of the lifts.

Top 5 Runs
Arabba Top Ski Runs
Try the Sella Ronda run , which is a brilliant circular tour of the Sella Massif. If you're an intermediate skier it is easy to achieve in a day and is well sign posted.The slopes will run for 14 miles and go through Selva, Colfosco, Corvara, Arabba and Canazei. If you are in a rush go clockwise round in about 4 hours and you will find the slopes a little more interesting but a bit busier than if you go anti clockwise.

Reviews
Hadn’t been to the Dolomites before and they were beautiful. The skiing here was incredible and the snow and pistes were amazing too…the Sella Ronda was brilliant whilst we found the Marmolada pretty slow. The food here was also fantastic…as was the wine. Will definitely be heading back here again.
