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!

Great resort for beginners with easy greens and blues. Reasonable prices for food and drink. Good ski school. Lots of families and locals, a very friendly place.

Brilliant little resort. Friendly, quiet and well priced. Some great skiing and great places to eat and have some drinks. Will be back.

Small resort, very cost friendlyLovely peopleBest for families Still a fun atmosphere but not a big apres vibe

Great place to go with family if on a budget.Really great place to learn too.Apre and food are fantastic.You really wont be disappointed if youre used the Swiss,French, Italian or Austrian Alp resorts this is on par with a lot of those . Not all but some.

Arinsal is perfect for families and affordable. Cant speak highly enough of the ski school and kindergarten.

I have been to Andorra 3 times now with the lads and with my wife and daughters and it's been amazing everytime, once in Soldeu and twice in Arinsal now. My family and I have actually just returned from a weeks skiing in Arinsal last week and it was very very good for everybody, the ski school is great and my 5 year old twin girls were skiing with turns through poles in each direction like a little slalom and stopping at the end by the end of the week they did so well. My wife had morning private lessons and my middle daughter did the morning groups and I can't fault any of it. It's a small resort but very good and very well laid out, if it's a little small for some people usually the good skiers there is a 50 man cable car over to pal which is also great and a lot bigger. Everyone is friendly and it's very affordable such great value for money. There also the best apres ski bar/restaurant called Ciscos which we visited just about every day Jason the co owner was amazing and really looked after us and was very friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back next near.

Had a wonder time in Arinsal with my family a couple years ago, great amenities, apres ski and friendly people. Although I did rack up a massive phone bill!! Didn't realize that Andorra wasn't one of the countries/ kingdoms included within my worldwide roaming package.... But all in all, great time.

Went last march as my first trip away. Very beginner friendly and has lots of steeper runs for more advanced riders. It was the end of the season so not much powder but off piste was still fun nonetheless !!

Went a few years ago to meet my sister who was working out there really nice resort and great value for money

Good ski resort that is cheap and cheerful ! Some good eateries like Surf arinsal and 360 restaurant. There isnt much in terms of apres but a decent Irish bar that does kareoke and a few others in the centre as well as a small nightclub .Runs are decent and its a good for resort for beginners.
