| About The Resort.. |
|
 |
|
|
| Very British as is all of Andorra, Why? Cheap, Cheap, Cheap. And new lift systems help. The Brits love it and in particular Arinsal. It is a long narrow village undergoing redevelopment. Stay in the middle if you can. Another big plus is the friendliness of the locals |

| About The Mountain |
|
 |
|
|
 Arinsal has an open eastern bowl whereas Pas has the mostly densely wooded slopes in Andorra. Snowfall is good due to its location with the links to Pal (Vallnoid area) there is 89km of pistes and gromming is top notch. 
Snowboarders - the park is very good with something for everybody. There are kickers, a spine, fun boxes, rails, quarter pipe and a super pipe. Magybe a few too many drags to contend with on the slopes
Experts - not our fust choice but there is some off piste and because the resort attracts a lot of beginners/intermediates they are not too tracked out.
 Intermediates - Pop over to Palk and have a field day. Yes you will definitely enjoy yourselves in this resort Beginners - around half the guests are beginners so that should give you a clue.
Cross Country - erhhhh what cross country? |
