Arabba
Arabba is the steepest, most advanced base on the Sella Ronda lift-linked circuit. The village sits at 1,602 m on the Belluno side of the Dolomites, with the Marmolada cable car climbing to 2,950 m on the area's south flank, the highest piste on the loop. Trails skew intermediate-to-advanced, and the village stays small and ski-focused, with none of the boutique-village polish of Cortina or Alta Badia.
