Three guys in twenties going to Arinsal

Hi there, me and a couple of friends are arriving in Arinsal this Sunday (25th). We are all fairly experienced skiiers. Has anyone got any advice on which resort in vallnord would be best for us.
Give us a shout if anyone else is going at that time

.
Thanks for any advice,
Rob

Hi Rob

You've picked the right resort for apres & atmosphere. The ski area at Arinsal though is fairly limited, but fine for experienced skiers for the first day's warm up. Pal (linked with Arinsal's ski area by cable car) has more varied terrain and more mileage, and between these 2 linked areas there's plenty to keep you occupied if you're average intermediate standard. It's all about finding the sweet spots and riding a few different lines there before moving on to the next.

Enjoy!

Can anyone tell me if there are transfers between Girona and the Andorran resorts? Just seen return flights to Girona for 33 EUR

tino_11 Yup! A couple of the main online resort transfer companies offer them.

Cheers SnowBeard, any names?

I'd recommend ResortHoppa(SkiHoppa) for that route; try Holiday Taxis too

Thanks a lot snowbeard. That sounds encouraging. I was a bit worried from some other reviews that Arinsal didn't cater well for experienced skiiers. But with Pal and Arcalis to explore I'm sure it will be fine.
Thanks again

My pleasure Rob

Arinsal's isn't ideal for experienced skiers; you'll probably ski it out in about 3 hours, but like I said, keep tweeking the sweet spots and do a bit of exploring in the other 2 stations. It's one of the friendliest resorts on the planet too - so you're bound to have a laugh in the evenings.
If the uppermost slopes on Pic Alt de la Capa at the top of Arinsal are open, then have a go at skiing from the top & linking all the way down to the base of the mountain at 1550m next to the new 6-seater 'Arinsal' chairlift - that's well over 3000ft of (fairly tame, but thigh-burning) vertical!
