So what's it like?
An ideal family experience, a good ski area and great hotels
Arinsal is an attractive, compact resort, part of the superb Vallnord ski area comprising of three ski resorts: Arinsal, Pal and Ordino-Arcalis, all covered under the same lift pass. Arinsal is excellent value for money and children aged 6-11 yrs benefit from a free lift pass - providing great family savings. On the mountain, more experienced skiers may take advantage of tree-lined runs in neighbouring Pal or enjoy steep descents on La Cormellada from Pic del Cubil. Whilst those newer to the slopes can build confidence on gentle rolling green and blue runs. The resort also boasts something for everyone - a relaxed atmosphere and a nice selection of bars and restaurants to choose from, with many offering live music and light après ski.

Ski information
Beginners
Arinsal offers some of the friendliest English-speaking instructors we have ever come across. The gentle nursery slopes are set high enough to enjoy excellent snow conditions throughout the season, and for getting a great sun tan! For absolute beginners, our "First time" package is superb value.
Intermediates
The Cota area at around 7,000 ft offers a variety of red and blue runs and to really test your skills, ski back down to the middle station or take the Les Fonts chairlift for a long, wide downhill run. Pal also has a great selection of long wide reds for perfecting those carving turns!
Advanced
Adventurous skiers can try the steep, exciting runs off the Pic Negre and Pic alt de la Capa for mogul fields. The ski school offers advanced slalom racing and off-piste clinics.
