We're off to Arabba on Saturday - well, we are if a) we can get to Manchester to catch the flight and b) the airport is open (getting more than a little worried at the moment having seen the weather forecast…) :shock:
Just wondered if anyone with experience of the area has any suggestions for those 'must do' runs á la the ADH thread? I plan on doing the Sella Ronda, but with over 1000km to go at on the lift pass, suggestions of places to visit would be appreciated.
Also, any suggestions for decent mountain restaurants for lunch and our one evening meal out (we are chalet board)?
Thanks, :D

I am going to have to go to Arabba next season. It keeps flashing up on my radar, and it does look stunning.
From what I know of the place having read reviews, there is good skiing off the circuit at the Marmolada Glacier.
Luigi Gorze appears to be a popular place to eat for both great food and stunning views. Its at the top of the Porto Vescovo lift.
Other than that, have a fantastic time, and write us a review with some pics when you come back.

Thanks Tony. :thumbup: Will do on the review. I might even have a video if I can work out how to edit and upload the thing…… :oops:
Counting down in hours now (86h until we are on the plane.) :D

Great area if you like cruisy runs. Best runs, the Womans world cup run in Arabba is great can't remember what it was called, lovely twisty tree lined run.
The runs up high on the Marmolada are superb.
Then further afield of course you've got the Saslong in Val Gardena (Mens Downhill), skiing the camel humps really gives you an appreciation for what the races can do.
So many good runs, the circuit itself is good, not just a route round the resorts by any means.
Then of course you're in some of the most amazing mountains.
Enjoy!

Oh, and spend some time learning about how the first world war was fought in the mountains. Fascinating but chilling.
