Arinsal Reviews

Very impressed for beginners and intermediate. Well maintained slopes with snow cannons if needed. Fairly extensive if you include linked Pal. Stayed at Xalet Verdu very good accommodation and excellent food. Arinsal is a small town so apres -ski limited especially at end of season.

I really enjoyed my week skiing here. Red and blue runs were mostly broad and very easy to ski. Pistes were well groomed at all times. Queues for lifts were non-existant.

Having skied in over 15 different resorts in 5 countries, Arinsal is the best value for money and a great resort irrespective of cost. The village is OK but not particularly pretty. A blue ski run (chair lift adjacent) comes down to the top of the village where there are a couple of hotels. No runs down to the main village where a 4 minute gondola ride takes you to the bottom of the ski area where the ski hire and lockers are. Top of Arinsal links by cable car (closed one day last week by high wind) to Pal/La Massana. Free bus (10 mins) available but infrequent and time table impregnable(!). Pal is much bigger than Arinsal and has lots of tree lined pistes. All great beginners/intermediate skiing. Not too much to challenge experts. A 35min bus/taxi (free!) ride away is Arcalis - apparently a new resort but with no hotels. Lots of fabulous empty slopes including an 8 km green/blue run from top to bottom and very efficient lift system. Weather 3rd -10 th March was very warm - well above freezing during days - but snow was absolutely fine until about 2pm when it became slushy at the run bottoms. I will return.

Booked a ski package through Iglu Ski. Could not recommend them enough. Professional, helpful staff. Ski Area and accomodation were outstanding. Would definitely return to the Hotel Besoli. Has a fantastic week!!

First experience of Andorra skiing and what a place to go to. We stayed at the Ushuaia Mountain hotel which has a chair lift right next to the hotel meaning you can walk out the door and head straight for the slopes. You can ski back down to the hotel as well or take the lift. The Hotel is great with spacious rooms and a nice bar to relax in after your day skiing. Arinsal is brilliant for families and anyone wanting to learn to ski as it has wide and quiet slopes. You can take the lift across to Pal which is included in your lift pass as well. Although not a party town there are some nice bars and restaurants to head to in the evening.
