Arinsal & La Massana

The lift-connected ski holiday resorts of Arinsal and Pal, known as the Vall Nord ski area, have received a great deal of investment recently, resulting in great improvements to both their slopes and facilities, ensuring they remain a favourite ski holiday destination in Andorra. Both Arinsal and La Massana offer swift gondola access to well-planned ski bases. The ski areas are quite different but both ideal for learning and improving while you are on your skiing holiday. Pal’s network of tree-lined runs contrasts to Arinsal’s wide, open slopes, providing varied terrain for ski holiday beginners and improvers to explore. For more challenging runs and great off-piste, we recommend the local’s secret, nearby Arcalis - covered on the same lift pass for the duration of your skiing holiday.

At the end of the day, Arinsal’s small, friendly village centre offers a good choice of restaurants, a few shops and several lively bars and discos while La Massana is larger in size yet has quieter après ski.

We think this skiing holiday area should be given more credit - things have really changed and it shows, making it an ideal best choice for beginners, improvers and family ski holidays.
