With its warm hospitality, and its perfect mix of classic alpine décor and modern comforts, you'll instantly feel at home at the Sport Hotel Arabba. With a great location in Arabba, you can easily get on and off the slopes each day and when you return a lovely wellness area awaits. The hotel has a long tradition of welcoming British skiers, and is a favourite with our Inghams guests.

Great Location

The hotel is in a prime location for accessing the Dolomites, with the Burz chairlift just over the road and the Porta Vescovo lift a short walk away. If you are looking to head over to Covara and Colfosco,  La Villa and the Hidden Valley, head up the Burz lift. Head up the Porta Vescovo lift for the challenging runs in Arabba, Val d'Fassa and the renowned Marmolada glacier. Whichever way you choose to go fantastic skiing is on your doorstep, and when you return, its easy to ski back close to the hotel, where you'll have your own heated ski locker to store your equipment. It's also a short walk from the centre of town if you want to explore more of the resort.

Relaxation

When you return from a day on the slopes, grab a drink from the bar and relax in front of the log fire or take some time to rejuvenate in the wellness are with two saunas, a Turkish bath and a large whirlpool, or just relax on the comfortable loungers. Treat yourself to a massage or beauty treatment with the in-house therapists for the ultimate treat (pay locally). Stay active in the hotels fitness room with a range of equipment including weights and a variety of machines.

Start the day off at the varied breakfast buffet, and end your evening with a hearty four course evening meal. Before heading to bed, head to the bar for a digestif or a glass of wine - there are over 700 types of wine in the cellar.

Arabba

  • Resort altitude of 1,602 metres
  • 1200 kilometres of slopes in the Dolomiti Ski Area
  • Skiing to 3,342 metres 

Arabba is one of the best placed ski resorts for exploring the Dolomiti Superski area and is perfect for keen skiers and boarders.

The resort itself is extraordinarily beautiful, with unspoilt landscapes and an uncommercialised resort centre. This compact, friendly village offers a small selection of non-ski activities and even has it's own natural ice skating rink.

Skiing and snowboarding in Arabba 

Arabba has some of the most interesting slopes of the resorts that make up the celebrated Sellaronda circuit. It is a real skiers’ holiday base and boasts excellent, challenging pistes aimed towards intermediate to advance skiers and boarders. We don't recommend Arabba for beginners, but the Dolomites has plenty of other incredible resorts for first-timers including Kronplatz and Selva.

You'll marvel at the stunning slopes of the mighty Marmolada glacier which are within easy reach.

The highly recommended Hidden Valley is close by too. Part of the spectacular Dolomiti Superski area, the modern lift system ensures Arabba links easily to the Sella Ronda, with Canazei in the Val di Fassa to the West, and Corvara in the sunny Alta Badia ski area to the North.

The fast 'Ornella' run down to Pescoi is one of the big thrills for local skiers – and one of the biggest local challenges.

Where to stay in Arabba

We offer a range of accommodation across resort, all with a variety of facilities. The majority of our properties are located in the centre of resort and they are all available on a half board basis. 

Hotel Grifone offers a free shuttle service and provides some fantastic food at dinner when you arrive back after an energetic day on the slopes. 

Both the Hotel Sport Arabba and Hotel Evaldo grant access to some fantastic spa and wellness facilities including saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzi and Turkish baths. There are also opportunities to book a beauty treatment or massage. 

Bars and restaurants in Arabba 

As the resort itself it's fairly small, there is a small selection of shops, bars, restaurants and pizzerias to visit during your stay. Arabba is a fairly quiet ski resort and the après-ski is low key and relaxed.

There are a few options for those of you wanting a bit of a party and a drink, including Bar Peter and Mister X, but most of the time you'll find a lot of the bars have a chillaxed vibe.
