Hi all,
We have flights into Venice Treviso 17/02/2017 to 21/02/2017 (Friday to Tuesday).
At present the plan is to spend 4 days skiing the Sella Ronda, but I'm having real trouble finding accommodation.
Want to be in either Corvara, Arabba or Val Gardena.
I've tried all the normal sites, emailed quite a few hotels and guesthouses but having very little luck.
Anyone have any amazing ideas or resources?
Thanks
James

@Legend., have you tried booking.com. A quick check myself came up with quite a few, but it will be a busy week.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Hells Bells, I have, and there is absolutely nothing, when you check the map all the hotels they suggest are not in the locality, which is not very helpful of them!

You are travelling during probably the busiest period of the year and also across a weekend, so blocking out two lots of full-week bookings. I have had a quick look on booking.com and there seems to be availability in the smaller Sella Ronda resorts - La Villa, Malga Ciapela, Canazei, etc. There is also an Aparthotel at Passo Campolongo which is not far from Arabba and quite well-placed for the lifts in either direction. I think you may have to be a little flexible with your position at this late stage.
Alternatively, contact the tourist office in each resort and see if they can find you anything.
Good luck with your search and keep up posted.

+1 for FionaG advice (unless you want mass apres - then maybe out with SR is your best bet). Maglia C bit of a schlepp to SR but other options you'll be on it reasonably quickly.

Like FionaG said - for example La Villa is close to Corvara. Hotel Ladinia looks possibly available.
In Arabba - have you tried Hotel Al Forte?
I was recently trying to find a one night stay for one person on a Sat night the week before this in Feb and it took a bit of digging, but did succeed eventually.
Any particular reason that you want Corvara, Arabba or Val Gardena? There are plenty of places as people have said which enable you to ski the Sella Ronda area.
Even staying out in Badia/Pedraces - you can get onto the Ronda ok but you can also then easily go to Kronplatz as well.
May be worth trying the Alba area - nowadays one easy lift up to Belvedere to get on the SR, or some good skiing up the Skitour Panorama side.

Even out of season I had quite a few knock backs on accommodation in Corvara, now all sorted, but can understand your frustration. We did look at Hotel Bel Sit which is about a mile up the road from Corvara on the way to La Villa, but decided it was a bit far out for our liking, but worth a shot. Can also recommend Hotel Edda about a mile up the road from Val Gardena.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

We too had real problems getting sorted for the week commencing 25/2 in Corvara - got sorted eventually but apparently Corvara gets full very early very quickly.
Good luck

Last year I wanted to book Corvara for carnival week, which was obviously very busy. I ended up going for a nice place about a mile from the lift in St Cassiano. We got ski lockers by the gondala and used the walk as warm-up/cool-down. Worked well for us and was much much cheaper than the remaining accommodation I could find in Corvara for that week.

Thanks for the info guys. Still searching. I think flexibility might have to come in. It's not one of my strong points!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Ok, just a final update. Managed to find a hotel 3km from Corvara with 5 single rooms from Friday to Tuesday, so it can be done! Shame we are not in the town but I guess skiing in the middle of February over a weekend is not exactly what most hotel owners like!
Thanks to those who advised above!

Where is the hotel located - hope it's fairly near to the pistes?

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Worst case it's 3km from Corvara lifts so the bus will drop us there. Not ideal (ski in/out) but given the lack of accommodation it's good enough!

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:
