And all I can say is....WOW. Looks stunning. Good work.

Went to Arabba last year and loved it. Went to Arabba in March from Selva and couldnt beleave how many people were on the slopes in that area it was packed, an accident waiting to happen.

Were trying to book Selva again as we loved it so much, mostly with the ease of getting to ski areas. At the moment Im being quoted prices of £250 more for the same Chalet on March 5th 2011.


Nice pics by the way and glad you enjoyed the hols.

Thanks for the photos Lynn, it looks like a fantastic place :D

Thank you for the pictures and narrative Lynn. I was there in 2001, when the Sella Ronda was a ribbon of machine snow. Hence it was nice to see the area in pristine condition. I didn't take many pictures, but managed a few paintings.

Stunning pictures Lynn - Now on my must visit list! Nice input from the multi talented Dave Mac - We now know what he does when not skiing :wink:

mfc – just out of curiosity, what time of day were you in Arabba? It did get a bit manic mid to late afternoon as being directly on the Sella Ronda, you got traffic from both directions passing through (and often people in a hurry trying to get 'home' before the lifts closed). Morning and late afternoon seemed fine though, at least when we were there.

I liked Selva (from the little we got to see of it) and would certainly consider it for future hols. My only concern would be getting to the other villages (should we want to) as there looks like there could be quite a bit of skiing just to get to the links to other resorts (depending on where you stayed), never mind actually skiing there and back…..

I know what you mean about the prices. I looked at prices for Sauze and they were at least £200 more than I would expect. So far, haven't managed to find a price for a return trip to Arabba, though guessing they should be available soon (and hopefully not bank breaking!.) :D
