Apartment Maya

A roomy, split‑level base for eight adventure‑seekers

Set across the top two floors of Chalet Helen, Apartment Maya blends airy social spaces with four quietly tucked‑away bedrooms, giving families or mixed groups a practical launch‑pad just minutes from the lifts. From the south‑facing balcony you can watch the first gondolas climb towards Porta Vescovo while breakfast sizzles in the kitchen, then finish the day in front of your own little log‑burning fire upstairs in the attic lounge.

Sociable living on the lower floor

Step through the door and you’re greeted by a bright dining‑cum‑sitting room with satellite TV and a snug corner fireplace, big enough for group meals yet cosy when the kids have crashed after night skiing. Double sliding doors open onto a generous Dolomite‑view balcony, a prime perch for sunset photos or an après‑ski spritz. The adjoining separate kitchen is kitted out with full‑size fridge‑freezer, electric hob, oven and dishwasher, so self‑catering is as easy as grabbing fresh speck and bread from the village bakery.

  • Sleeps: up to 8 People
  • 3 Double Bedrooms
  • 1 Triple Bedrooms
  • 4 Bathrooms

Four straightforward bedrooms, four modern bathrooms

Maya’s layout keeps life simple: on the entry level you’ll find two double rooms, each with its own balcony, minibar, safe and private en‑suite shower room. Climb the internal staircase to the attic and you’ll discover a further double bedroom plus a triple with three single beds, ideal for teenagers or the most dedicated snorers. Both attic rooms have their own bathrooms across the landing, so no one is queuing in ski boots at 7 a.m. All beds come with thick duvets, parquet floors stay warm underfoot and powerful showers deliver unlimited hot water after a glacier day.

Comforts that matter

Apartment Maya isn’t about marble worktops or designer lighting; it’s about reliable Wi‑Fi for route planning, efficient central heating, a secure ground‑floor ski locker and on‑site parking. Shared laundry facilities downstairs let you dry baselayers overnight, and the compact footprint means little legs aren’t traipsing endless corridors. Everything you need, nothing you don’t, leaving more budget for that second strudel at Rifugio Luigi Gorza.

Your doorstep: Arabba/Marmolada’s steep shots & glacier views

Base elevation in Arabba is 1,602 m, and the local ski area delivers 62 km of pistes served by 27 lifts, famed for long, north‑facing reds and blacks that hold snow well into April. From Maya’s front door you can click in and be on the steep Fodoma or the 12 km Marmolada glacier run within the hour, yet you’re also plugged straight into Dolomiti Superski’s 1,200 km carousel.

Need a bigger quest? Pick up the bus in town and tackle the 80‑km Grande Guerra circuit, looping beneath WWI forts and the towering walls of Lagazuoi – a full‑day history lesson on skis that finishes with a plate of warm bomboloni back at base.

Beyond winter: terraces, passes and pedals

When the snow melts, Arabba trades carving for crank‑turns. The cable car from nearby Passo Pordoi whisks you to the “Terrace of the Dolomites” at 2,950 m in just four minutes, perfect for sunrise hikes or e‑bike photo ops. Road cyclists, meanwhile, time their trip around Sellaronda Bike Day, a traffic‑free spin over four legendary passes (53–58 km, ≈1,650 m ascent) that starts right here in the Fodom valley.

Simple, spacious and ready for action

Apartment Maya gives you clean rooms, hot showers and a crackling fire, the essentials for recharging between Dolomite escapades. Whether you’re chasing first tracks on Marmolada, threading the couloirs off Sass Pordoi or ticking off the Sellaronda on two wheels, Maya keeps the logistics easy so the focus stays on the mountains.
