Located high in the Pyrenees on the western side of the principality, the lively resort of Arinsal is very popular with families and younger groups of skiers who enjoy the 'après' as much as the 'ski'!
A single lift pass is available for the area, called the Vallnord-Pal Arinsal pass which covers 63km of piste across Pal and Arinsal.
With a high point of 2,560 metres, 63km of terrain and over 30 lifts, families enjoy Arinsal’s smaller scale while younger groups love its lively nightlife. The forest runs in Pal are sure to be a favourite among families, guaranteed to intrigue the youngest of skiers.
Situated in the west of the Andorran Pyrenees close to the Spanish border, Arinsal’s beginner slopes are perfect for young children learning to ski while intermediate skiers and boarders will enjoy its wide open slopes and the pretty, tree-lined runs at Pal.
On the mountain, food offerings have become more sophisticated with restaurants like Pain Cocotte and Pla de la Cot in Pal, bringing a more modern style to the slopes. Pla de la Cot is perfect for cocktails, tapas and lounging around.
Back in the resort, you can choose from a range of cuisines including Catalan, Mexican, Italian and Argentine. Some bars are family friendly and offer nightly entertainment.
For a relatively small area, Vallnord offers an amazing range of activities, including baby clubs, airboarding, boardercross, a freestyle area for teenagers, ski biking, speedriding (a combination of paragliding and skiing), sledging, a children’s snow park and avalanche training for off-piste skiers and boarders.
Catalan is the official language here, but English French and Spanish are widely spoken. So, as the Catalan say, 'bones vacances!'
Children & Childcare in Resort
Kindergarten.
The kindergarten is in a building located at the bottom of the beginner's slopes, 100 meters from the upper gondola station and is just like any other kindergarten with kind and qualified staff. They accept children, aged 1 to 4 years, however they do not feed the children so you will have to organise yourself for lunch. Opening hours are 08:30 to 17:00 Children must be able to walk (or at least more or less) in order to be admitted.
Approximate Prices:
- 2 Hours: €23.00
- 1 Day: €39.00
- 5 Days: €140.00
Snow Park
The snow park is a closed off area, also located at the bottom of the beginner's slopes. The children, aged 4 to 8 years, play in the snow and learn how to ski with qualified instructors. If you are putting your children in the snow park, they will need ski equipment and lunch will need to be organised separately.
Approximate Prices:
- 3 Hours: €35.00
- 1 Day: €55.00
- 5 Days: €150.00
Please Note: You do not have to reserve the kindergarten and snowpark in advance. You can go to the ski school upon arrival and arrange everything right there and then. As tour operator groups only arrive on Sunday afternoon and start skiing on Monday, you will have first choice.
Important Note: Please note if you choose to book the services outlined above, your contract for them will not be with us and the services will not form part of any package of services we may supply.

Your Resort Managers
Carla Baldock
Hi there, my name is Carla. Originally from South Africa, I now call Portugal home during summer and spend most of my winters traversing the slopes of various ski resorts. I’ve been fortunate to have enjoyed ski holidays around the world and after retiring from my corporate career 8 years ago, I've managed many ski resorts throughout Europe. I'm by no stretch of the imagination a ski expert, but I love surrounding myself with the natural beauty that the winter wonderland has to offer. Besides skiing, I'm an avid MTB cyclist, a yoga enthusiast, a coffee snob (thanks to my years spent in Sydney) and enjoy socialising on and off the slopes.
James Whelan
Hi, my name is James and after a long 20/21, I am returning to Andorra for my second winter season with Topflight. Andorra is such a beautiful country filled with warm, welcoming people from all over the world. I have made so many memories during my first winter here and I cannot wait to make more. I love travelling and getting to know new places and people and I am very familiar with the resort, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you all out on the slopes and here's to having a fantastic week in Pas de la Casa!
