20 December 2026
Arinsal, Andorra
Arinsal’s the main resort in the Pal Arinsal ski area. The high-altitude nursery slopes mean beginners should get good snow conditions and mountain views from day one. And with lots of gentle greens and blues nearby, as well as one of the best English-speaking ski schools in Europe, you’ll be confidently cruising in no time. For more of a challenge, you can catch the cable car over to the Pal side of the mountain for longer runs and steeper reds.
Set in a wooded valley, the village is filled with stone buildings built either side of a small river. Things get livelier here from the mid-afternoon as people come down off the mountain. Head to the bustling main street to join the après action and dance along to live music in one of the great-value bars. As for where to stay, choose a simple, self-catering apartments or splash out on a 5-star hotel with all the bells and whistles.
And for a few hours of family-friendly fun, you can’t beat the bowling alley and games arcade in the Hotel Princesa Parc, which is open to non-guests for a small charge.
3* HOTEL PALARINE
Run by British owners, the Palarine is a favourite for its modern style and friendly service. It’s surrounded by steep, tree-lined slopes and you can catch the bus just outside for a 5-minute ride to the main gondola and town centre.
Inside, the rooms are all contemporary with white walls, wooden floors and pops of bold red in the bedding and curtains.
Food-wise, variety is the name of the game. Start each day with a full English breakfast or a lighter bite from the buffet spread. And in the evenings, you’ll get 3-course meals with a different theme each day – including Italian, Spanish, Indian, Tex-Mex and Sunday roast. You could also switch things up with a meal in the à la carte Bambu Oriental restaurant, where you can tuck into Chinese favourites like noodles, sweet and sour chicken and crispy duck. Then wrap up your night in the bar, sipping a glass of wine or cocktail and bopping along to live music.
