    We've just got back from staying a week at the hotel Palarine and it is the first time ever that we've put on weight on a skiing holiday! The reason is that the food at the hotel is just superb and it would take better willpower than ours to not over-indulge. It's not just the food at the hotel that is really good: the staff are also really friendly and helpful, especially the breakfast chef who lent us his mobile so we could try and find out what was happening with our lesson on the day the weather was really bad.

    Happy hour was also great to return to after a day's skiing. We can recommend a glass of wine each drunk in a hot bath - guaranteed to remove any aches and pains from the days exertions! Would happily go back and would recommend it to anyone.
  • done with Chrystal this time. usually do DIY and fly sleezy jet luton to BCN and hire a car. worked out far cheaper this way. free kids lift pass, free child place at the hotel pass and school deal for kid and wife. it all worked out really quite good. Much better than Les Arcs in half term last year ;)

    @ Ricfrench
    Are you on a package deal or have you booked independently?

    If you are 25 mins from Luton and Hate Gatwick you could try Stanstead and Southend airports. You can choose flights to Reus, Girona and Barcelona in Spain or Toulouse and Carcasonne in France.

    The Spanish airports are best because the route into Andorra is best as it avoids the need for snow chains (most of the time) and the car hire is slightly cheaper.

    Independent is the way to go, No buses to catch, Can choose which resort to ski, With the tunnel from La Massana to Encamp now completed you can drive to the GrandValira resort as quick as you can to Arcalis. You choose travel times.

    See you next week. There from Monday to Thursday.

  • I haven't stayed there either but the reveiws here and on tripadvisor are almost all excellent. Just me and my Mrs, Dawn its our first ski holiday without kids.

    We can both ski ok ish but we are doing improver lessons so we can meet people and hopefully have a laugh. Look forward to seeing you all :) , Thanks to the forum I feel like this holiday is getting off to a great start already. Only 8 more get ups before i'm there :thumbsup:

    I am staying there the same week and have stayed here many times, last time was last week in half term. The distance is right but the bus is reliable. If you want to visit the town the hotel have their own minibus which they will run you there in. Bar is good, food is great no need to go anywhere unless you're looking to visit the bars and clubs.

  • we will probably see you there we re there from the 9th too. got a 10 year old lad we're dragging along with us. looking forward to it, not stayed here before though but the reviews seem to be really good. its a bit away from the lifts and village (just over a mile if google earth is to be believed).
