Hotel Evaldo, Arabba, Italy

Hotel Evaldo is a family-run hotel, you'll love the warm welcome from the Lezuo family and their team. It has a traditional alpine feel that carries through to the bedrooms. It's a popular base with guests wanting to hit the Sellaronda. Set back from the centre of Arabba, you can enjoy the peaceful views of the surrounding Dolomiti mountains while still having convenient access to the slopes.

Village location

The hotel's about a five-minute walk from the centre of Arabba, a charming village with fantastic access to the ski area and the highest point in the Dolomites- the Marmolada. The lifts are a little further away from the centre, with the Portavescovo lift being the nearest, the hotel runs a daily shuttle service in the mornings and afternoons so getting on and off the slopes couldn't be easier. Arabba benefits from having excellent connections to the 'must do' areas of the Dolomites including the Marmolada glacier, the Sellaronda and the Hidden Valley, be sure to ask the team for their recommendations for a lunch stop.

Relaxation

When you return from a day of skiing the Dolomites, head to the lovely wellness area for a relaxing spa session. Have a dip in the pool before relaxing in the jacuzzi, you can then choose between the infrared cabin, Finnish sauna or the steambath before unwinding in the relaxation area. If you want to train for your next ski adventure, there is a small fitness room with a range of equipment.

Restaurant

Start your day at the breakfast buffet which includes a classic continental offering and hot options. When you return tuck into some afternoon cakes before your tasty four-course dinner. Meals often include typical hearty and filling Ladino dishes, which pair perfectly with a bottle of wine from the wine cellar.
