    • Hi Rachel,

      The ice diving takes place in Arcalis, it's midway down a really nice red run at the back of the mountain. It wasn't open when we were there over Xmas so I think you may need to book in first before they open the centre, it's not big but like you it's something my wife and I fancied as we also dive.

      Ice diving at altitude, diving doesn't get much better :D

    • Hi Rachel

      That is exactly right where it is, you ski past it on the red slope La Canaleta. If you look on the piste map you will see a little icon of a face with snorkle mask on. :thumbup: It is never open for the public just to walk into you have to book in advance. When you arrive you can ask in the Vallnord information office in Arinsal and see if they can get you booked in for one of the days you are here.

      Hayley :D
    • Hi I thought this may help....
