Arinsal

The upside

  • Lively bars
  • Ski school geared to British needs
  • Linked to Pal and lift pass covers Arcalis (well worth an outing)
  • Pretty, treelined slopes in Pal

The downside

  • Arinsal slopes are bleak and very confined (though this does mean children can’t stray far)
  • Linear, dour village with no focus
  • Poor bus link to Arcalis

Summary

Tour operators used to bring British beginners here in large numbers. Low prices and the Brit-oriented ski school were key factors; but prices are no longer that different from those in more attractive Austrian and Italian resorts.
