Hotel Portavescovo , Arabba, Italy

Took 8 lads to the Hotel Portavescovo. Despite some people slating the food it was very enjoyable and every one of our party was pleased. The pool is a little small but kept at a good temperature and the sauna/steam and plunge pool a fantastic respite after a tough days skiing. Some of the narrower areas of the piste cut into terribly rough and skiing after 2:30pm was hard going. Plenty of hard faced, arrogant and annoying Germans for sport - life really is too short Colonel Klink. No nightlife - but that suited us: we went for the snow and theres plenty of piste to explore. Biggest plus - it was the most reasonably priced ski resort any of us have been to and the locals were exceptionally friendly. Highly recommended.

Excellent location, fantastic food, excellent service, friendly staff. Snow and whether excellent, so many runs and son many places to ski to. Good tuition. Very limited apres-ski apart from Bar Peter in the middle of town, but quite lively. If you want to ski, ski, ski, this is the resort to go to.
