Arinsal is a popular base, ideal for a fun and inexpensive skiing
holiday with a lively nightlife.
Arinsal is
Andorra's most British dominated resort despite the fact that it is
the least attractive. Its a great choice for families who wish to
discover winter sports without the usual expense.
|
| The once
separated resorts of Pal and Arinsal are linked by a 50 person cable
car. Arinsal offers rather bleak and treeless skiing enclosed between
two ridges that funnel back towards the gondola station, housing the
ski school, ski hire, restaurants, bars and sports shops. |
