  • Hi Alex

    The Hotel Park Andorra is in Andorra la Vella, so approximately 12km from Arinsal. If you have a rental car it takes around 20-25 minutes to drive, or you can take the bus which takes a bit longer.

    If you book your ski rental on our website you collect from any of the three Sant Moritz rental shops in Arinsal - there's one in the centre of the village and another at the top of the gondola - these would probably the best two options for you, and you ccan choose either.

    Unfortunately we only deliver ski passes in Arinsal so we wouldn't deliver them to your hotel in Andorra la Vella, however you can let us know when you are arriving in Arinsal and we'll meet you with them, maybe at the ski hire shop.

  • Hi, I will be in Andorra with my girlfriend next week and would like some advice as it would be our first time there.
    We will be staying at the Hotel Park Andorra and would like to ask the following questions:
    1, how do we get to the ski resort/school from the hotel & how long does it take?
    2, for equipment rentals, where do we pick them up from?
    3, will the ski passes be delivered to the hotel or where could we collect them?
    Many thanks!
  • Hey Ian!

    Your welcome. Great to hear you had a good time and glad you got over to Arcalis.

    Pepe in the Crest shop is a star, he always goes out of his way to help people.

    Hope you had a nice Christmas and New year. Let us know before you come next time id there's anything we can help with or pre arrival tips.

    :thumbsup: Hayley
  • Thanks to all for the help - everything went swimmingly and we were mightily impressed with Arinsal (all three areas).

    Hayley - thanks for meeting us with the lift passes and the tips. Steve, thanks for the pre-trip advice.

    The fella in St Moritz hire shop (by hotel) was very helpful and stayed late to fit us up on arrival day. He also let us bring boots back a day late due to late return from Arcalis.

    Snow was good, not too busy, hotel excellent.

    All in all, sure we will be back!

  • Hi Jordy
    Stayed at the Patagonia a couple of seasons back you can store your skis in the garage behind reception they have storage racks some of them lockable, if you take a lock with you. The blue run Les Marradas takes You right back down to within 50yrds of the hotel . Arinsal ski area is great but like Trev said I would recommend you go to the top of Arinsal and get the gondola over to Pal it has a much wider choice of runs you will love it . :thumbup:
  • Thanks Trev

    Well, yes we are going back to Bulgaria in Feb!! Made a lot of friends there but really looking forward to Andorra too as a change and a chance to compare!!

    Our resort in Bulgaria (Pamporovo) is really small in terms of runs so I know this is going to feel massive in terms of choice and we'll have no idea where to go!!

    Excited of Harborne!

  • Andorra v Bulgaria

    trev

    Been to Bulgaria Borovets twice and Andorra twice (Pas de la casa last year and previously Arinsal) and I found the "quality" of snow in Andorra is sooo much better than Eastern Block! Did you say you had 5 yrs experience? The runs over in Pal will be "Easy" reds for you from memory but are very relaxing and enjoyable! Pistes to just cruzzze on LOL! The videos posted on this website are pretty cool.You can kind of see that the reds are not too challenging.....would have liked to have seen more sunshine in the videos though.
    Shouldnt have any "agricultural" skiing as conditions look lush at moment. Nursery area is not extensive and probably a little steeper in places than other nursery slopes in europe.

    Bet you won't go back to Bulgaria after Andorra! Guaranteed no smelly Balkans/ cold food in Andorra......
