Our favourite thing about the Hotel Olympia is the lovely staff and their friendly service. The hotel has a traditional alpine feel throughout which really gives it a home from home feel. Getting onto the slopes each day is really convenient, the Burz chairlift is just a five minute walk away, and the Porta Vescovo gondola just a bit further. There's a great heated ski locker room you can use by the Burz ski lift, so you don't have to carry everything. 

Alpine hotel

Each of the rooms vary in style, however are all comfortable and spacious. The traditional Hotel Olympia is slightly above the town so you have some really great views of the Arabba and the surrounding mountain peaks. The resort centre is just a short stroll away where there is a handful of shops, cafes and restaurants - the main lifts are nearby too, so getting onto the extensive Dolomites Ski Area is really easy. 

Relax and rejuvenate

The restaurant serves good food at both breakfast and dinner. Prepare for a day on the mountain at the varied breakfast buffet, and return to a tasty four course meal which often includes Alpine and Mediterranean dishes.

After a day on the slopes, you can enjoy lovely views of the mountains from the jacuzzi or soothe any aches in the sauna. There is also a cosy bar area, its the perfect spot for an aperitif before dinner. Each morning you can enjoy a classic continental breakfast buffet before heading out. When its time for dinner a four course dinner is served with a choice of main course, the cuisine combines

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.
