The pristine snow of a picturesque slope shining like millions of diamond facets in the morning sun, the smell of aromatic coffee and fresh mountain air, a pair of skis, and a great mood. This is not the beginning of a utopian novel but a real place in a small European principality of Andorra under the fairy-tale name of Arinsal, and more specifically its main attraction – the ski resort of Pal Arinsal.

Today, a winter resort in the mountains does not surprise anyone – the Alpine mountains have all been passed for a long time, and some have managed to conquer other peaks of the world. But the resort of Pal Arinsal in the Pyrenees mountains is not just one of the perfectly equipped places for skiing and snowboarding, it is two separate mountain bases, which merged into a single ski complex in 2000.

The Pal pistes are designed for beginners and intermediate skiers, while Arinsal offers its steep slopes for experienced athletes and extreme skiers. Both resorts have a modern developed infrastructure and first-class European service. So this place is ideal for all ages and families. On the slopes of Pal Arinsal, there are about 50 pistes of different levels of training, as well as a separate 8 km long track designed for cross-country skiing. There are two areas for freestyle and two for freeride. Besides, there is a special track for slalom and border cross, a fan park, and a half-pipe. Whatever kind of winter activity the guests of the resort prefer, they all will find something to do – snowshoeing or snow biking, horse riding or paragliding. And at night, two of the most popular discos in the country open their doors, and even people from the capital come here to dance.

Besides, Pal Arinsal is the only complex in the Pyrenees mountains equipped with a modern elevator – the Seturia cable car, which connects the mountain slopes of the two bases.
