ARABBA, ITALY

25 miles from the Austrian border in the heart of the Dolomites is the picturesque and unspoilt village of Arabba. Situated between the more well known ski resorts of Corvara and Canazei, its scenery will take your breath away. It has an idyllic setting - much enhanced by the striking dominance of the Sella Massif and Portavescovo Mountains, towering on either side of the village. At sunrise this startling backdrop glows pink whilst at dusk it turns flame red.

Marmolada is a famous ski-resort at the feet of the Marmolada glacier, that with his 3.342 metre is considered the "Queen of the Dolomites", the highest mountain in the Dolomites. It represents one of the strategic connection points of the Dolomiti Superski carousel and it could be departure point for the famous and legendary day trip "Sella Ronda" or the new day trip on the 3.342 metre high Marmolada.
