Dolomiti Superski - A Skier's Paradise
With the renowned Sellaronda ski circuit at its heart, Dolomiti Superski provides miles of pristine piste and an ultra-modern lift system to connect 12 sublime skiing destinations for skiers of all abilities, from the ambitious downhiller, to the leisurely cruiser. Whatever your level, this is a skiing holiday in Italy’s Dolomites, which abounds with staggering winter landscapes. Circumnavigate the Sellaronda clockwise or anti-clockwise, or use it as an orbital highway, dropping into ski areas, where there is so much to explore.
Interspersed throughout, charming rifugios with panoramic sun terraces serve fabulous food and drink at fair prices. Our ski holidays in Arabba and Corvara come with a 6 day ski-plan to help first-timers get the best from Dolomiti Superski, whilst our Ski Safaris are guided adventures from hut to hut, which span the largest ski network in the world.
Corvara – A Jewel on the Sellaronda
Corvara is the main village in the Alta Badia, one of the prettiest valleys in the Dolomites. It is not exclusive, but it oozes style. Interspersed amongst attractive chalets and chic hotels, there are designer shops, bars and cafes, which generate a vibrant buzz in the early evening. The village is dominated by Sassongher (2456m), visible from many a piste, but other absorbing backdrops include the staggering flanks of the Sella massif.
The two launchpads for a memorable day’s skiing are centrally-located: the main (Boe) ski-lift station and the Col Alt gondola, Italy’s first-ever lift! Providing brilliantly for skiers of all abilities, Corvara is the gateway to many treasures, including: the Gran Risa (Men’s World Cup GS), the famed Hidden Valley, Colfosco, La Villa, San Cassiano, Arabba, Marmolada, Val Gardena and more besides.
Arabba - The Best Village Resort in the Dolomites?
This understated, smaller treasure is the highest resort on the Sellaronda at 1650m. Steep, snow-sure north-facing slopes spill into it, making it one of the best ski resorts in the Dolomites. The picture-postcard village is towered over gloriously by the Sella massif on one side and by the Queen of the Dolomites, the Marmolada (3313m) on the other, the latter offering a thrilling 12kms descent from its summit. Alpine chalets and hotels huddle enchantingly around Arabba’s picturesque church. As skiers return from their adventures mid/late afternoon, the village, with its piste-side bars, buzzes with apres-ski camaraderie.
Featured some years ago in the Daily Mail’s Top 10 World Ski Resorts, nobody walks far to the pistes in Arabba and much of our accommodation can almost be called piste-side. We have been here since 1993, watching skiers thrive and, whether they are learning on the village nursery slopes, or cruising the Sellaronda to explore tantalising ski areas in the Alta Badia, Val Gardena, and Val di Fassa.
For a 7 night stay, we recommend the full-area, 6-Day Dolomiti Superski Liftpass – unless you are a beginner. Discounts apply for online bookings as well as for Juniors and Senior Citizens.
For details of costs and how to book, go to the Dolomiti Superski website here. Collect your ski pass in resort at your leisure from the pick-up boxes; this is easy to do and your Collett’s online handbook includes a village map indicating collection points for pre-booked ski passes.
Arabba
Booking your equipment online in advance of your holiday is now the norm and is generally 10% cheaper.
Visit Arabba Ski School for more details and to pre-book your equipment. The Ski Hire shop is in the basement of the Ski School office.
Corvara
We recommend 3 suppliers in Corvara, although there are several others.
Ski Service Boè
This is located under the village’s main ski lift station and offers overnight storage of skis and boots – and daytime storage of your comfy shoes. This is of particular value to guests staying at Garni Tofana, as it means you can do the 10-minute walk to (and from) your accommodation in comfy shoes without having to carry skis and poles. The downside is that you cannot book online – and you will need to take your ID with you for ski hire. So, if pre-booking online is your preference, two alternative options are:
Corvara Ski School
This is conveniently located near to the main (Boe) lift station and offer discounts if you book lessons and equipment together. You can also benefit from up to 50% off ski lockers (located opposite the Boe lift).
Sport Kostner Rent
This is located near the top end of the village and it offers an online service with a 10% discount.
General Notes
Ski hire starts from around €100 for 6 days, depending on the category of skis you choose, whilst boots will cost you about €50 for 6 days. Upgrade options are generally good. Expect to pay around €160 for a good set of intermediate/advanced skis, with boots. For snowboard and boots, you can expect to pay about €145 for 6 days. Helmets are highly recommended for all skiers and compulsory in Italy for all Under 14’s (and are free to hire). Adults will pay approx. €45 for 6 days helmet hire.
Tip: Start this process knowing your height and weight in kgs!… and your European shoe size.
Private Lessons & Ski School
Book any ski tuition (Private or Group) as soon as you know your requirements, ideally, well before your holiday starts.
Group Tuition (or Ski School) is comprised of 4 or 5 day group lessons.
The typical package is 4 mornings (roughly 10.00 to 12.30 Mon-Thur) plus a day excursion (10.00 to 16.00) on Friday.
Group tuition starts at about €230 per person.
Private Tuition can be booked by the hour.
Book in advance of your stay and maximise the chances of being allocated to a good English speaker.
Private Tuition costs between €40 – €70 per hour (depending on the time of day and the season).
Additional people can be added to a private lesson, usually at an extra €10-€15 per person per hour.
