Had a wicked holiday in Arinsal Jan 2006. 1 first time boarder, 1 first time skiier and 2 very experienced skiiers. Pro's and con's: Not much space for the beginners to learn on nursery slopes but there's a bar at the bottom for dutch courage and sunbathing! For experienced skiiers, skiing is a little limited but enough for a week, using Pal and Arcalis. It was more of a relaxed ski holiday than a HARD skiing holiday!
Lots of beer involved and vodka (£5 a litre for Smirnoff - worth a trip to the capital)Duty free -Don't try and bring too much back, our coach was stopped at the boarder and every suitcase was searched! Apres ski - Quo Vadis was fab! Good food, cheap and huge portions - the nachos are the best in the world! Show ski videos taken on the slopes that day, very amusing. Lots of competitions to win Skis / T-shirts etc. Good music,lovely and warm,fab staff, don't mind you traipsing in wearing ski boots. Tip- if you intend to sit down get in v.early! Serve Smirnoff! (El Cau had "cheap" vodka and at Andorra prices that's unforgiveable!!!) There's also a spa and a bowling alley in the Princessa Parc Hotel. |
