Poster: A snowHead

Which Sella Ronda village is best located for off-piste and après? I'm aware that the area is not top of the alpine tree for either.

For Apres, Selva or maybe Canazei.
For off-piste, Arabba, but you need good snow conditions and a guide for the best bits and it can be a bit quiet of an evening.

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

@hd, not sure about off-piste, but for après I'd say probably Selva. The Luiskeller on the main street is very popular.

Kronestrube/Luiskeller are a laugh out of the slack ends of the season.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have had epic off piste conditions at Easter We were staying in Arabba and skied the area around the Marmolada.
Now this is a few years back [2001?] but were stopped twice by skiing policemen as we appeared to be skiing without a guide which seems to be illegal. Fortunately we had the son of the hotel owner with us and he was able to convince the policemen that he was qualified as a guide.

@hd, in good snow conditions, the area's off-piste is hard to beat. However, you will be wanting a guide, particularly if you don't know the area. Get a hold of a copy of Francesco Tremolada's book "Freeride in Dolomiti" for an idea (or even better, employ him to show you.)
Arabba is probably the best location for easy access to prime spots such as the Marmolada and the Sella group via the Pordoi cable car. However, if you like a little après, and your idea of that is drinking far too much with random Danes whilst banging nails into a tree trunk, go for Canazei; a paticularly good spot when conditions allow a full descent from the Marmolada to the top end of the Val di Fassa. Also has easy access to the quiet area above Alba for some cheap lines.
