One of the best ways to budget while on a ski holiday is to know exactly how much your lunch stop is going to cost. Eating on the mountain has got a reputation for being incredibly expensive but it doesn’t have to be. With Vallnord Pal-Arinsal’s lift pass and lunch offer you can get a sandwich, fries and soft drink for over 25% cheaper than you would pay in resort… and you get a choice of restaurants you can choose from as well!
How does it work?
The lift pass and lunch offer is only available through pre-booking and it has to be added at the time of booking your lift pass (it can not be added afterwards). By selecting this offer, when you collect your lift pass you will also get a lunch voucher for each day of your duration – vouchers aren’t for a set day. This offer is only available for a four, five or six day duration.
How do I book this offer?
This ‘lift pass and lunch’ offer can not be purchased in resort and can only be pre-booked online three days before coming to resort. You can do so via our Arinsal booking website. There is an option that says, ‘Add lunch’, so make sure to click on the checkbox to add it to your basket.
Where can I use my lunch vouchers?
Below is a guide as to where you can use your lunch vouchers in both Arinsal and Pal, along with where they are situated on the mountain.
