A Holiday to Arinsal is the experience of a very picturesque and compact ski holiday resort that links the 2 old resorts of Arinsal and Pal which is now known as the Vallnord Ski Area. This area of Andorra has had a great deal of investment over the recent years resulting in vastly improved slopes, snowmaking facilities and resort facilities. Arinsal offers a great variety of accommodation which will suit families and couples alike. There is also a good selection of bars and restaurants in the area.

Like most of Andorra, Arinsal has excellent skiing for beginners and is also very good for intermediates and snowboarders too. There is limited skiing as well for the advanced skiers but if you balance this against the cost of a ski holiday in one of the other European ski destinations, Arinsal holidays are excellent value for money.

On the Slopes:

Beginners (4star) - Both Arinsal and Pal are perfect areas to learn to ski or snowboard. Situated at the top of the gondola, Arinsal’s beginner area has doubled in size after €7million of investment. Pal also has a gentle nursery area situated next to the ski centre base. Both areas have excellent ski schools with many native English speaking instructors and there is never a shortage of easy runs to progress onto.

Intermediates (3star) - In Arinsal, intermediates will enjoy several gentle blue and red runs from Cota 2100m leading back down to the ski base. Higher up, from Pic Negre, there are some rather more demanding red runs. Over in Pal, there is a good choice of tree-lined runs, providing a good contrast to Arinsal.

Advanced (2.5star) - There is little to stretch the advanced skier in Arinsal or Pal, apart from a steep, unpisted black run descending from Pic Alt de la Capa to the bottom of the Port Negre trails. However, Arcalis, 25km away and accessible by a daily bus service from La Massana, provides more demanding runs and some great off-piste opportunities.

Snowboarding (3star) - For beginner and intermediate boarders there is plenty of varied terrain to enjoy in Arinsal and Pal, plus a fantastic 40000m2 freestyle area including a half-pipe, jumps, fun boxes, quarter-pipe, boarder-cross and chill-out area.
