Arinsal, the main resort in the Pal Arinsal ski area, offers beginners excellent snow and stunning mountain views from the high-altitude nursery slopes. With gentle greens and blues and one of Europe’s top English-speaking ski schools, newcomers gain confidence quickly. Advanced skiers can explore longer reds on the Pal side. The village, set in a wooded valley along a small river, buzzes with après action, live music, and a range of accommodations from self-catering apartments to luxury hotels.
Owned by Brits, the Palarine is loved for its traditional charm and welcoming service. Nestled among steep, tree-lined slopes, a bus outside takes you to the main gondola and town centre in five minutes. Inside, rooms are modern and bright, featuring white walls, wooden floors, and bold red accents in the bedding and curtains.
