Pal-Arinsal ski resort

Tucked away in the snow-dusted Pyrenees, Pal-Arinsal is a popular pick in Andorra. Linked by a panoramic cable car, the twin sectors of Pal and Arinsal create one connected ski area. That means you’ll have access to 63km of pistes, spanning everything from wide beginner runs to forest-lined reds. It’s fab for both learners and intermediates, thanks to the exceptional ski schools, modern lifts and quiet slopes. More confident skiers and boarders can explore the freeride zones or hop over to nearby Ordino-Arcalís, also included on the Vallnord pass.

Off the mountain, Arinsal’s compact village centre buzzes with character. When it comes to accommodation, you can expect a mix of family-run hotels and self-catering apartments. The après is famously friendly too. Think tapas bars and lively après spots where you can dance in your ski boots or settle in by a log fire. Bit of a foodie? Most restaurants are on the main Carretera General. This resort’s also a big hit with families, as there’s plenty to keep all ages entertained. Plus, children under five can get a free lift pass! On an evening, who’s for bowling or a trip to the games arcade at the Hotel Princesa Parc?
