Ski resorts

The village & the skiing

A resort that punches well above its altitude.

Arinsal is a pretty village located in the north west of Andorra, set at an altitude of between 1550 and 2560 metres. Arinsal offers excellent skiing and snowboarding for beginners, as well as a good range of runs for intermediates. The ski school here is widely recognised as being of an excellent standard and is one of the first European schools to be BASI approved. Arinsal ski resort forms a part of the Pal-Arinsal ski area which also covers the linked resort of Pal (La Massana). Pal-Arinsal offers a fantastic variety of runs, as well as some great off piste areas if you're in need of something a bit more challenging.

Arinsal ski school has lots of British ski and snowboard instructors which means it's a great place to learn as you'll be able to learn in your own language.

Great little resort with a really friendly atmosphere. The ski school is brilliant — our kids loved every minute and were speaking to instructors in English the whole time.

Off the slopes

More to love once the boots come off.

Away from the slopes you'll find the Arinsal ski resort to be a very friendly and down to earth resort which attracts many repeat visitors. There are some great international restaurants and bars catering for every taste including a couple of Argentinian steak houses, a quirky Mexican restaurant, pizzerias and a tapas bar as well as the traditional British fayre and a lively Irish bar. Bars and restaurants in and around the village are generally very family friendly, some offering live music and entertainment, plus the occasional magician and party nights. Our Arinsal ski hire services also allows you to rent your ski and snowboard essentials in one place. You can even pick up your equipment the afternoon before your rental begins to save time on your first morning of skiing on the Arinsal ski resort.

To ski in Arinsal you need a Nord Pass which covers both Arinsal and Pal, as well as nearby Arcalis. Passes for the individual resorts cannot be purchased separately.
