    • ski/boot hire on Sunday afternoon/storage

      Three of us arriving 24 Feb 19 and would like to avoid the queues on Monday morning for ski/boot hire. I understand that there is a hire shop at the top of the gondola and lockers there for storage. Will we be able to get up the gondola before the official start of our lift passes do the business before the rush next day
      Also can we store skis and boots in the shop, or do we need a locker? {One of us taking own skis/boots). Have seen advice to take boots back to hotel for drying, rather than leaving in locker, so that defeats the object of not walking up the hill in ski boots. If the hire shop store hired gear, it's going to be warmer than a locker, I imagine.
      Would we be better with a hire shop near the bottom of the gondola, assuming there is one?
      Any opinion on the lift pass with lunch vouchers?
    • Hi,

      Thanks for your message,

      We work with St Moritz shops in Arinsal, and you can find 3 of them in resort.

      One of them as you said is at the top of the gondola, however, there is
      also one at the centre of the village and another one near Hotel
      Patagonia.

      You can collect the equipment from any of the 3 shops on your arrival
      date, however, please, note that the one on the slopes closes at the
      same time than the mountain (17:00). So if you are arriving late, you
      must go to one of the others (both close at 20:00).

      In the case that you arrive early in the morning and you have plenty of
      time you can speak with the lift pass office and showing the equipment
      voucher they will allow you to take the gondola up to go to the hire
      shop at the mountain, however, they usually allow people from 15:00. You
      can book your equipment here.

      You can find also lockers at the St Moritz shop on the slopes, if you would like to book one please, e-mail us (info@andorraresorts.com).

      The lift pass & lunch deal is a good idea if you are planning to eat
      on the slopes every day. The lunch includes one drink (soft drink or
      beer) + french fries + one sandwich or burger. Please, note that not all
      the sandwiches or burgers of the menu are included in the deal. Also if
      one day you want to eat something different like a pizza, your lunch
      voucher won't be valid for it, so you will need to pay the whole amount.

      Please, let me know if you have any question,

      Kind regards,
      Esther
