Hi Samantha,

Thanks for your enquiry!

I have asked the ski school to see if there will be a torchlit descent this year and shall let you know as soon as I have an answer for you.

We are relatively close to the capital of Andorra, Andorra La Vella, which is where you can go and visit the annual Christmas village and markets. If you click on the below link it will also let you know what other events are going on in the city centre, such as the Christmas carol service on Christmas eve. There is a direct bus from Arinsal that goes to Andorra La Vella or it is about a 20 minute taxi ride away. visitandorra.com/en/agenda/christmas-village/

Within Arinsal and La Massana, there is usually a Santa’s grotto on Christmas Eve too situated at the gondola stations.

The difficulty is that in the Spanish culture, their Christmas is a little different and actually they celebrate ‘Three Kings’ on the 6^th Jan more than Christmas. However saying that, there are festivities going on in the city centre. We will be writing a blog within the next week listing what is going on nearby which we will post on our website.

Hope that helps and we hope you have a wonderful Christmas in Arinsal! I'll keep you posted about the torchlit descent.

Thanks,
Olivia

Hi Samantha,

Just to let you know that the torchlit descent isn't happening this year. If the ski school decide to run any other activities I shall inform you as soon as I have word.

Many thanks,
