Arinsal offers some of the friendliest English-speaking instructors we have ever come across. The gentle nursery slopes are set high enough to enjoy excellent snow conditions throughout the season, and for getting a great sun tan! For absolute beginners, our "First time" package is superb value.

Ski Information Intermediates

The Cota area at around 7,000 ft offers a variety of red and blue runs and to really test your skills, ski back down to the middle station or take the Les Fonts chairlift for a long, wide downhill run. Pal also has a great selection of long wide reds for perfecting those carving turns!

Ski Information Advanced

Adventurous skiers can try the steep, exciting runs off the Pic Negre and Pic alt de la Capa for mogul fields. The ski school offers advanced slalom racing and off-piste clinics.

Ski Information Snowboarding

Arinsal is a perfect place for beginners to get to grips with snowboarding offering great terrain for newcomers. For the advanced rider, there is powder to be found amongst the trees of Pal, the neighbouring resort and a snowboard park in Arinsal to test your skills.
