About Arinsal
Arinsal’s the main resort in the Pal-Arinsal ski area. The high-altitude nursery slopes mean beginners get good snow conditions and mountain views from day one. And with lots of easy greens and blues nearby, as well as one of the best English-speaking ski schools in Europe, you’ll be confidently cruising in no time. For more of a challenge, you can catch the cable car over to the Pal side of the mountain for longer runs and steeper reds.

Set in a wooded valley, the village is filled with stone buildings built either side of a small river. Things get livelier here from the mid-afternoon as people come down off the mountain. Head to the bustling main street to join the après action and dance along to live music in one of the great-value bars. As for where to stay, choose a simple, self-catering apartments or splash out on a 5-star hotel with all the bells and whistles.

From snowmobiling to snowshoe walking, there’s plenty to do when you’re not on the slopes. And for a few hours of family-friendly fun, you can’t beat the bowling alley and games arcade in the Hotel Princesa Parc, which is open to non-guests for a small charge.
