Pal Arinsal Overview

The Pal Arinsal combined ski area offers 63km of slopes, catering to all abilities, it is an ideal ski area for school ski groups with beginners and intermediate skiers looking to progress quickly. Both areas offer great nursery slopes for beginners. Pal offers very varied terrain, with more tree-lined runs and a mix of gradients including some challenging black runs.

Arinsal is known for being very beginner and intermediate friendly, with wide, open slopes in more of a “bowl” shape and plenty of quieter areas.

For evening entertainments, groups travel to the capital Andorra la Vella or Canillo where amongst other options there is the swimming pool, ice skating and tax-free shopping.
