New Lift and New Run For Arabba/Marmolada

There are plenty of other ways to get back to Arabba and avoid this bit. It just so happens that the red that gets you to this point is one of my favourites so I put up with it. Uphill bit is avoidable by skiing to another lift and coming back down (if you have time) so not actually a problem per se, just always confuses me why they didn't make the lift in question a bit longer when they built it????

The road is a pain, no question, but only necessary once, and only if you come back this way (which is the scenic route anyway, takes 1h + more than the direct route back from Corvara which is road-crossing free.....)

Even the best areas have their quirks. Just book it!! :lol:

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....

Geez, it is a hard audience. It is only a twenty metre walk in a stretch of god knows how many kilometres. I think I have floored it and almost made it to the lift.

I love the runs from Corvara down to that area.

45 km, not a problem, that bit, kills me every time!

No matter how I time it there's ALWAYS someone who makes me stop for them. Husband usually gets straight across, jammy so and so. If I could just keep going I could get to the lift which is why it bugs me so much!! :evil:

The Dolomites is an area I love and keep going back to (7 weeks in 4 years so far and back again in Jan) so I'm not critical, not really. -)

Lynn, I'm questioning your timing and skill to negotiate traffic now ;-)

I'll grab a shovel and keep digging should I? :lol: Wishing I'd kept quiet!

I can handle traffic perfectly well. I just don't like that *****y bit of piste - it seems to conspire against me!

Anyway, they have a new lift and new run. This is good. Back on topic. -)
