The Resort Of Arinsal

 
 
   
 

Arinsal is situated in the duty-free principality of Andorra set high in the Pyrenees between France and Spain. Andorra has so much to offer, an excellent snow record, long sunny days, great après ski, all at superb value-for-money prices. This compact resort, combined with the lovely tree-lined runs of neighbouring PAL (linked by the new gondola that opened in January 2001) has something for every grade of skier and is particularly suitable for beginners and intermediates. A regular bus service (free with your pre-paid lift pass during the day) will take you from your accommodation to the main lifts of both Arinsal and Pal.

Arinsal has installed a new cable car; the great symbol of the Pal-Arinsal union. This cable car is the first and only in Andorra. A spectacular means of transport with a capacity of 50 people per car (500 people/hour) which will allow them to unite Pal and Arinsal into one unique resort. Its route (fast and confortable) will offer spectacular views.
Also new at the resort, the Arinsal sector gains in snow quality and quantity thanks to the 24 new artificial snow canons that will cover two more pistes. In addition to the snow-making, Arisnal have specially conditioned the pistes so that they will give access to the cable-car to facilitate arrivals and to make transfers easier.

Arinsal's infrastructure includes four quad chairs, and it has the steepest slope in Andorra. The resort's night life is one of the most active, young and cosmopolitan in the Pyrenees.
