Ski Area
The Pal / Arinsal ski areas offer early skiers the best possible confidence building start on the wide gentle slopes at the top of the La Massana or Arinsal gondolas where magic carpets await the 1st time skiers. In no time the students will have their ski legs and will be heading up to explore the long blue runs radiating from the Pla de la Cot above La Massana or the Pic Negre (2560m) in Arinsal. Spectaular confidence building runs through the trees that the experienced instructors will use to improve technique before trying out the more testing red runs above the tree line from the Pic del Cubil on the La Massana side and the Pic Negre in Arinsal, all runs offering stunning views across the valley.
Flexible yet compact
The resorts are joined by a 50-person cable car so more advance skiers should be able to ski both areas in the same day and explore the more testing black runs from the Pic Alt de la Capa & Pic Negre.
The Arinsal area offers all levels of slope in a more compact area meaning that you will always be able to see how your pupils are developing and making it perfect for younger groups and party leaders who prefer a close supervision environment.
