Description
Arinsal is a friendly resort with good nightlife. It is an ideal destination for beginners, low intermediates and families. The resort offers low prices along with a good selection of non challenging pistes. The addition of a new lift linking to Pal has increased the variety of ski terrain, making it more attractive to all ability levels.
Arinsal ski areas are unbeatable for beginners with a good ski school and easy slopes to learn on in both Arinsal and Pal. Intermediates are in their element with a good choice of wide, flattering pistes with enough terrain now the lifts have been linked with Pal. Advanced skiers are limited, with a small selection of testing mogul runs and good off piste including trips to the neighbouring resort of Arcalis. Snowboarders can sample the "freeStyle Area", which boasts a mega Half-Pipe, Big Air Jump and Bordercross with music to get the adrenaline flowing.
