Although there are steep slopes at Arcalis
(linked by lift and a regular bus to form the Vallnord ski area), Pal/Arinsal is very much a ski area geared towards beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. The ski schools here have a very good reputation, as well as long history of teaching English visitors. Add in low prices fuelled by Andorra’s tax-free status and there is good reason why this is such a popular family ski destination.
You get access to the whole area with a season pass or a ‘Ski the North’ pass – which allows you four days in Pal-Arinsal and two days in Ordino-Arcalis.

Pal/Arinsal - Vallnord Resort
Although some accommodation is available up at Pal, most of the best options are down in the valley at La Messana. This is well-linked to the skiing via a gondola however, making this perhaps the most attractive option.
In town there is a great range of food options, as well as some lively bars along the main street that runs through its heart – note that this can get a little busy in the morning and also at the end of the ski day. The only downside to staying here is that you’ll have to download the gondola at the end of the ski day.

Snow Overview
Spain & Andorra
Updated 07/04
Mild conditions will dominate across the Pyrenees to open this forecasting period, with double-digit temperatures expected at midmountain level in the midday sun. A few bits of precipitation will move in, falling as rain in most places.
Things will change through this week, as unsettled weather forces the freezing line to take a long walk off a short pier, plummeting to 1,000m before close of play on Saturday. Rain will then therefore turn to snow overnight into Sunday, bringing with it a useful 10cm for the region.
