Chalet Brigitta is a typical ski chalet which sleeps up to 18 people. It is located about 100…read moremetres above the centre of the village of Arabba on part of the famed Sella Ronda ski circuit. The chalet itself has a quaint and typically wooden living room on the ground floor with a small sitting area and large communal table for dinner. It makes for pleasant dinners and a door leads onto a terrace in the summer for when it's warm. The food when i stayed there in summer was very good chalet fare cooked by an English couple but i haven't eaten there in winter yet.The bedrooms themselves are spacious and practical. They are wooden floors so it looses a little bit of it's cosiness because of this but they are functional and ideal for summer and winter guests. There are both front and rear facing rooms in the chalet both enjoying good views but the ones on the rear of the building are perhaps a little quieter than those on the front. In the summer the chalet is run by an English company, Collett's Mountain Holidays offering walking and climbing and in winter by Neilson offering skiing. A typical ski chalet that does exactly what it says on the tin.

Chalet Barbara suggest a ski style chalet which it is an isn't. You could feasibly take over the whole place as it sleeps up to 34 people but it is as much a hotel as a chalet. The rooms themselves are beautiful. They are large, cosy and sumptuous, most of them having a good balcony, hydro-massage baths and even shutters you can open and close whilst lying in bed. There is a steam room and sauna which guests can use and a small Stube (cosy room) that you can relax and read in. Breakfast is taken in the dining room on the ground floor and is huge with a good variety of pastries, cereals, jams and fruits. The only downside is if you come to stay on a half board basis as evening meals are taken in the Sport Hotel, about 200 metres away. That said, the food in the Sport Hotel is amazing and the atmosphere posh and yet comfortable. All in all a good choice for anyone.
