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!'

Liza Hobden
A warm welcome to Andorra! I am Liza, originally from the UK, but have been working abroad for 19-years now. Admittedly, I fell in love with Andorra on day-1, and have recently made it my permanent base. I started skiing at 14, and have been on the slopes every year since. For me, there is nothing better than blasting away stresses with a day out on the mountain. Our amazing team is waiting for you with serious cases of the "ski & board bug", a passion for Andorra and loads of varied experience. Our aim is to ensure that you have an amazing and stress-free time with us - and fall for Andorra in the same way that we have.

I'm Connor, and I am returning for my third winter season with Topflight. This past summer I spent my first season working as a Resort Manager for Topflight in Peschiera on Lake Garda. I am definitely looking forward to getting out on the slopes, whether it is on skis or a board. My favourite thing about Andorra and Arinsal specifically, is how friendly the town and the welcoming atmosphere of the place. I am very familiar with the area so know that you can come to me for anything. I hope that you will have a brilliant holiday with us, and we'll see you on the slopes!

Hi, my name is James and this is my first year working for Topflight as a Resort Manager. I'm very outgoing and have a keen interest in sports, music and all things outdoors. I absolutely love skiing and have been on multiple Topflight ski holidays over the years - I am hoping that this season I will master the snowboard. My sister, Lisa, was a Resort Manager in Arinsal last year and she had a wonderful experience - I cannot wait to join the team! Know that I am here to help you wherever I can, and look forward to welcoming you to Andorra.
