Hotel Montané, Arinsal

Arinsal is the main resort in the Pal Arinsal ski area and is an excellent choice for beginners. Its high-altitude nursery slopes provide reliable snow conditions and impressive mountain views from the start, while a network of gentle green and blue runs helps new skiers build confidence. The resort is also home to one of Europe’s leading English-speaking ski schools. For those looking for more of a challenge, a cable car connects Arinsal to the Pal side of the mountain, where longer runs and steeper red pistes await.

Nestled in a wooded valley, the village has a traditional charm, with stone buildings lining a small river. The atmosphere becomes livelier in the afternoon as skiers return from the slopes, and the bustling main street offers a range of bars with live music and lively après-ski. Accommodation caters to all budgets, from simple self-catering apartments to luxurious five-star hotels with extensive facilities.
