Solo guided ski holiday, Italian Dolomites: Saturday 9th March 2024

Guided ski Holiday in Italy

We are returning to Arabba for our Italian guided holiday following an overwhelming success last year. The famous Sella Ronda circuit gives access to the most wonderful skiing. We will have 5 ski instructors from skivo2 to guide us so that the groups can move at different speeds to suit everyone. There will be no need to read a map nor worry about getting the last lift home nor booking a restaurant, you can relax and leave all that to the instructors. The aim is to clock up the miles through this wonderful area and enjoy your day out. If you wish to ask your instructor about your skiing, they will be pleased to give you tips to improve but they won’t be doing drills or teaching the group as a whole.

Who is this guided ski trip for?

It is essential to be able to cope with a red run confidently but where possible the leisurely group will choose blue runs whilst the fastest group will choose more challenging black runs when they present themselves. We will stop for coffee and lunch but it is important to be fit enough to ski for the full day as it will not be possible to return to the hotel at lunchtime. Whether you are single or have a partner who does not ski, this is the perfect trip to allow you plenty of time on the slopes whilst enabling you to meet like-minded skiers.

Accommodation on this trip for solo skiers

Hotel Olympia in Arabba is our base where we will have breakfast and dinner for 7 nights. They offer rooms to share and a limited number of rooms for single use for a supplement. I will try to find you someone to share with as long as you do not smoke or snore. The lift station is 600 metres away and the hotel provides lockers right by the lift .

Flights and Transfers

You will need to buy your own flight into Venice Marco Polo in order to connect with the free
transfer.
The recommended flight will be BA Heathrow Venice Marco Polo.

BA 582 Heathrow :Sat, 9 Mar 2024, 13:40 Venice: Sat, 16:55
BA 579 Venice: Sat, 16 Mar 2024, 12:55 Heathrow 14:15

There are also other transfers available at your expense:

• Shuttle from Venice: https://www.arabba.it/en/info-events/info/arabba-transfer/81-0.html

• Taxi from Innsbruck: https://www.arabba.it/en/info-events/info/taxi/86-0.html

• https://www.alps2alps.com/en/ski-transfer-destinations/it/arabba-dolomiti-superski

Skivo2 will bring one minibus from Courchevel for the instructors and so it will not be easy to offer a ride to many guests who wish to join up our March resorts for two or three weeks. Nonetheless once I know how many guests wish to make the journey it may be possible to hire another minibus or car hire and share the cost.

rome2rio.com is a useful site to compare journey times.

Passport Check/Insurance

It is your responsibility to check both the issue and expiry date of your passport to be sure it is
valid for entry to Italy. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/italy/entry-requirements

You must have winter sports travel insurance and also EHIC/GHIC which is free https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/healthcare-abroad/apply-for-a-free-uk-global-health-

You can also buy additional insurance for mountain rescue & 3rd party liability for about 18 euros  but this is CANNOT be  added to your lift pass in the Dolomites. We will advise nearer departure.

As a solo traveller it is also wise to note your next of kin in the back of your passport and carry a copy along with your insurance details in your ski jacket.
