Vallnord: Pal-Arinsal - Community Reviews & Ratings

Nice resort, interesting alternative to the alps with some good terrain if the snow conditions deliver. Good terrain parks but apres was pretty limited, would be good for a family as a spring ski option as nice and warm too in the valley.

A great budget resort. Limited skiing in Arinsal but pass includes the gondola over to Pal, a larger ski area with tree-lined runs. The ski pass is great value and we found that even if you purchased one or two day passes it still worked out the same cost as if you purchased a six day pass. Great choice of hotels all reasonably priced. Plenty of restaraunts to chose again all reasonably priced. A number of good bars including thr Derry Irish bar and Ciscos. Drinks are well priced and dirt cheap between 4_7pm. Estrella at 2.5 euros and Guiness at 3.5 euros if you go to the right bar. The resort has s nice feel about it and favours those who aren't looking for the thrill of numerous black runs and a really wild apres scene. Best for beginners and intermediates.

Very quiete little resort. Lovely and peaceful with minimal queues for lifts. Some of the lifts are older and slower but this leads for a very chilled week for skiing.

Great for beginners and familys. Great apres and very welcoming atmosphere. Not a lot of runs but good if youre starting out

We loved our family and friends trip to PalArinsal, we stayed in various accommodation and everyones experience was great. There were 14 people in our group 4 families. Plenty of options for skiing to everyones abilities. Plenty of apres and dining options. Will return!

Great slopes, quiet which is great for carving the full slope would definitely visit again. Some great food options in the evening though if you go I the quiet season it can be quiet

Good ski slopes and quiet town. Not the best for apres ski. A good range of blue and red slopes but limited black runs for more advanced ski/snowboard

Small resort but great value for money. Great for beginner and intermediate skiers. Some long drag lifts not great for boards

I learnt to snowboard in arinsal. The school was fantastic and tutors are so experienced. Unfortunately we have never had good weather, usually go in Feb snow is melting and icy patches. The mountains is small so only a few good options for beginners when it is too hot in season.

Luckily, it snowed on the day we got there so there was good pow but it was really hot so by the end of the week it had mostly melted. A shame but still way fun!
