Off the slopes

Arinsal ski resort is an attractive place to stay, with a selection of bars and restaurants to keep you happy. The locals are friendly and the drinks are cheap - what's not to enjoy? Local food is readily available, in particular seafood, shipped in from the coast each day. The capital, Andorra La Vella, is worth visiting, especially if you like shopping.

WE LIKE

  • New ski area with ultra moderm lift network
  • Offers some great slopes and some good off-piste though
  • Gets loads of snow throughout the season - so snowsure!

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Limited pisted red and blacks for real challenges
  • Weekends can become really busy with locals flocking to catch some great snow!
  • It does have limited runs - so a ski season here may not work for you.
