Skiing in Ordino-Arcalís
- Here, in this small snow country, lies the Ordino-Arcalís ski resort, known for offering the best quality and the largest amount of snow in the Pyrenees thanks to its northeast orientation. And if natural snow isn’t enough, 60% of the slopes are covered with artificial snow thanks to its snowmaking system and 101 snow cannons.
- Another attraction of this resort is its relatively untouched nature, as no large hotel complexes have been built on its grounds. This means you can’t sleep at the foot of the slopes, but on the other hand, it makes the area more beautiful and environmentally friendly.
- Ordino-Arcalís started operating around 1983 with four ski lifts and has been linked for almost 20 years to the neighboring Pal-Arinsal under the Vallnord brand. It has now become part of Grandvalira Resorts, and under the management of the Saetde group, it is set to receive a €25 million investment by 2028. So, don’t miss the new features that will be introduced each season.

Specifically, it is 14 kilometers from the village of the same name and 22 kilometers from Andorra la Vella.

- It offers 30.5 kilometers of slopes within a skiable area of 442 hectares, spread across 29 marked trails of varying difficulty levels: 9 green slopes, 7 blue slopes, 11 red slopes, and 2 black slopes. Additionally, it has five marked circuits for practicing mountain skiing (skimo), 3.4 kilometers of freeride routes, a wide variety of thematic areas (two freeride zones, a freestyle area, a children’s circuit called Kids Forest, a slalom area, and a beginner zone with a free magic carpet). This makes the resort an ideal place for groups ski trips.
- Overall, we can say that Ordino-Arcalís is a very versatile ski resort, with slopes and areas suited for all kinds of skiers and snowboarders, as well as for practicing different ski modalities. It has a sector, Arcalís, which we’ll describe in detail.
