Travelling on the Dolomite Passes in Winter: Winter Equipment Required from 15 December to 15 April

As the winter season arrives, the Dolomites transform into a magical setting, with snow-covered landscapes, ski slopes and breathtaking views.
Arabba, located in the heart of the Dolomites, is an ideal destination for those wishing to enjoy an authentic mountain experience.
To reach the resort by car during the colder months, it is important to be properly prepared and pay attention to road conditions.

Winter equipment: what you need to know before setting off
During the winter season, generally from 15 November to 15 April, vehicles must be equipped with the following on roads where the requirement applies, as indicated by road signs and local regulations:

• Winter tyres suitable for driving on snow and ice;
• Alternatively, approved snow chains or anti-skid devices compatible with the vehicle's tyres, which must be carried on board.

In the mountains, snow, ice and low temperatures can make driving more challenging. It is therefore always advisable to set off with your vehicle properly equipped, even when weather conditions appear favourable.
