ℹ️ These figures refer to the Pal Arinsal ski area, shared by several resorts: kilometres of pistes, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are common to all. The values shown here and on neighbouring resort pages therefore describe the same ski area and the same lift pass: they are not added together.
The 63 km, 27 lifts and lift pass shown are those of the Pal Arinsal ski area, shared by Pal and Arinsal and linked by a cable car. Arinsal is a compact village at 1,550 m, in a narrow valley, from which a gondola climbs directly to the ski area. Its sector, especially above the treeline, concentrates the steepest slopes of Pal Arinsal, up to the Pic de Cubil (2,560 m). Long frequented by a British clientele, the village has a convivial après-ski scene.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
A resort on a human scale, Arinsal focuses on the quality of its welcome and its closeness rather than on impressive figures. Its 63 km of runs are ideal for a stay of 3 to 4 days, especially for families or skiers who don't need to constantly renew their playground. The resort is known for its lively après-ski: bars, concerts at the foot of the slopes, and an international atmosphere as soon as the lifts close. If you want to enjoy the mountain by day as much as the parties by night, Arinsal is clearly one of the best options in its massif. With a summit at 2,560 m and a village at 1,550 m, snow reliability in Arinsal is generally good from January to the end of March. A few exceptionally mild winters can cause difficulties early in the season, but the situation recovers quickly once the first serious snowfalls arrive. The budget for a stay in Arinsal is clearly high: 52€ for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It's the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short: Arinsal keeps its promises. A Pyrenees resort that will suit most profiles without disappointing.
