Arinsal is a small village located in Andorra at the very foot of the mountains, next to the ski lifts and consisting of several hotels, restaurants and shops. In winter it is filled with skiers, mostly from England.
Arinsal is part of the unified ski area Pal-Arinsal. Our compatriots often leave quite favorable reviews about this town: the accommodation is comfortable, the hotels are good. There are no queues for lifts. But there is a place where you can have a delicious lunch after skiing. There is a lot of snow, snow cannons are installed, so the holiday is unlikely to be spoiled by inappropriate weather. In the capital of Andorra la Vella, flower beds may bloom at this time, but a shining snow cover will lie on the slopes. Friendly staff will add to your good mood.
In the center, next to the cable car, there is one of the most popular discos in Andorra - SURF - a place where you can have fun in the evening.
In the Arinsal ski area there are a lot of merry chattering Spanish children with instructors, the Pal area is freer and less crowded. The trails are perfectly prepared for skiing. This resort is very close, just 9 km from Andorra la Vella, next to the border with Spain. The Pal and Arinsal ski areas are interconnected by a new lift - the Seturia telecabin.
The ski area is suitable for beginner and intermediate skiers. There is a significant difference in altitude, which allows experienced skiers to enjoy steep slopes. Less experienced riders will find descents and slopes with gradually increasing difficulty for daily training. There are several ski schools, including children's.
The slopes of the resort are facing north. Therefore, snow lies in Arinsal throughout the ski season - from December to mid-April.
Landscapes are mostly forest, very beautiful. The main slopes run between the peaks of Pic Alt de la Capa (2573 m) and Pic Negre (2572 m), descending to 1950 m, where the Arinsal ski resort itself is located.
At the peak of the season, on the brightest days, you can test your strength by skiing down from the Comallempla plateau (1950 m) along the forest clearings to the very hotels of the town of Arinsal, up to a height of 1550 m.
The Pal ski area is characterized by the largest number of snow cannons per kilometer of descent. A good feature of this resort is the excellent preparation of the slopes: with the help of the latest equipment, a constant level of snow cover is maintained on the track.
Guests of the resort can use the ski equipment rental and paid luggage storage.
In Arinsal there is where to have fun after skiing - in this town there are 14 restaurants, bars and cafes. In the center, not far from the ski lift, there is a very popular SURF disco in Andorra, where dancing and music continue until the morning. Young people from all over the principality come here.
If you cannot imagine a holiday without visiting the SPA center, you can go to the Prinсesa Parc hotel, where there is a relaxation center open to all guests of the resort. For a small fee, you can visit the gym, solarium and swimming pool, sauna or undergo a therapeutic massage session.
Many resort guests make trips to Spain and the country's capital, Andorra la Vella, where there are many entertainments and shops with excellent and inexpensive goods.
