Half Pipe 'n Rails in Arinsal 2008-2009.

The Ordino-Arcalís resort

Don't forget! With the rental of your apartment or chalet in Arinsal! , you get a 10% reduction on the prices below!

Ski resorts plan to open on November 26 2011 and close April 15th 2012 (dates may vary depending on Snow conditions but announced opening and closing date ar more than probable (like every year!)

How to calculate the price of a ski pass that crosses over both low and high season:

How does the table work?
1) Determine how many days you want to ski, regardless of the season.
2) Determine how many of those days are going to be in high season according to the above season dates.
3) Refer to the table below in order to calculate the cost of your ski pass

Example:
Let's assume that you want to ski for 6 days from Sunday March 25th 2012 until Friday March 30th 2012. By checking the seasons (high and low), you can see that one of the days you want to ski is in high season (ie the 1st day, March 25th) and that 5 days are in low season. Looking along the above table for 6 days skiing, you can see that your ski pass is going to cost 151,00 Euros per adult for the 6 days - the 10% reduction you get with your holiday rental.

The kindergarten (for children from 1 to 4 years of age): The kindergarten is in a building located at the bottom of the beginner's slopes, 100 meters from the upper gondola station and is just like any other kindergarten with kind and qualified staff.  However, they do not feed the children so you will have to organise yourselves for lunch. Children must be able to walk (or at least more or less) in order to be admitted. The snow park (for children from 4 to 8 years of age): The snow park is a closed off area, also located at the bottom of the beginner's slopes, 100 meters from the upper gondola station.  The children play in the snow and learn how to ski with qualified instructors. Obviously, if a child gets cold or miserable, the instructors put him or her into the kindergarten in order to warm up.  If you will putting your children in the snow park, remember that they will need ski equipment and that you will have to organise yourselves concerning lunch. The snow garden is ideal for children that cannot ski. Those that can will get bored. Therefore we suggest proper ski lessons for them.

With the rental of your property, you have a 25% reduction on all of the prices below as long as you rent in advance.

We work with one of the best rental and ski equipment shops in Andorra, located in Arinsal, right in front of the gondola in the centre of the village.

Beginner series :
Standard carving skis, ideal for those that have never skied before. A beginner does not need a high performance ski and it would be a waste of money to rent anything of a higher quality.

Intermediate series:
For skiers that can make a basic parallell turn without cheating. Rememeber that you can always change to a better ski during the week if you want.

Advanced series:
For the skier that has is comfortable with parallell turns and that is thinking of even trying some off piste.

Expert series:
For very good skiers on and off piste that want to try a high end ski before actually buying a pair.

A note on helmets: If your children are going to ski or snowboard, RENT HELMETS!
Renting a helmet should be law! It is no so much for when they fall, it is if they crash into someone or vice versa as well a close encounters with snow cannons and pylons! We are glad to see more and more youngsters wearing them and even adults.

If you would like to get your 10% discount, you must reserve prior to your arrival. Click on the "book now" button to do so. Please do not forget to tell us which series (beginner, intermediate etc) for each skier when reserving.
