More about Arinsal
The Resort
Linked by a 50-person cable car to the neighboring resort of Pal, the combined Pal-Arinsal domain offers 63km of varied terrain. While Arinsal features wide, open, and sunny bowls ideal for progression and terrain park enthusiasts, Pal provides contrasting, beautiful tree-lined pistes. The resort has invested heavily in snowmaking and modern lift infrastructure to ensure reliable conditions throughout the season.
Off the slopes, Arinsal boasts a surprisingly energetic après-ski scene. The compact village center is lined with cozy pubs, live music venues, and excellent value restaurants, creating a fun, laid-back vibe that appeals to both families and young adult groups without the pretense found in some larger Alpine resorts.
On the Mountain
The skiing in Arinsal is centered around a sunny, open bowl that is exceptionally well-suited for beginners and early intermediates. Progression is seamless from the wide green runs to sweeping blues, while advanced skiers can tackle the steeper reds near the Pic d'Alt de la Capa or head over to the renowned terrain park.
Andorran Pyrenees
Nestled high in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain, Andorra offers sunny days, high-altitude skiing, and a relaxed, duty-free environment.
