New Lift and New Run For Arabba/Marmolada

Arabba/Marmolada is adding another kilometre of piste to the huge Dolomiti Superski Pass this winter with a new ski run.

The new slope "Rutort" an intermediate red, will descend 970 metres from "Bec de Roces" and the Campolongo Pass descending 228 vertical metres at an average 24% steepness.

Arabba is also installing a new six seater high speed detachable chairlift, dubbed the "Alpenrose" in the area of Pont de Vauz.

The 1.2km long lift ascends 131 vertical metres and has an hourly capacity of 2,600 persons.
This modest ascent helps avoid skiing a relatively flat route down in the valley and provides access to more enjoyable skiing.

Arabba is located on the famous Sellaronda circuit, which inter-connects around 500km of slopes around a 40km 'hub' of lifts and runs with valleys including Fassa, Badia and Gardena radiating off.

March. Probably.

Any idea how much these bad-boys cost?

A 6 seater like this one costs about 5 million Euros.

Looking forward to trying both in January :D

Really need to build a lift to go from one side of arabba village to the other to fully link the sella ronda

That would be amazing but sadly can't see it happening any time soon.

The other area that would really benefit from something, (anything!) is the flat bit across to the lift back over Passo Campolongo towards Arabba (can't remember its name). By the time you've taken your skis off to cross the road, floored it to get across the 'junction' (usually having to stop for 'oncoming traffic' who seem incapable of going around you) then hiked up the short hill (due to having to stop) I for one am knackered! Can't understand why the lift is not 10/20m longer, would make all the difference....

You're not selling this to me
