A very beautiful ski area. Very well maintained. And a large area.

  • A very sunny ski area. And quiet. Relaxing.
  • Poor après-ski

Second trip away and really enjoyed it. Was there on opening week, which meant a lot of lifts were closed and I had to heel-edge down the steeper blues as they were icy. Hated the flats due to the ice and moved over to Arinsal for the middle part of the week, which was great experience. Snow cannons and lifts came on halfway through week and so last 2 days back at Pal, plus a week of improvement, meant everything was better. Prefer the variety at Pal, but if you're a beginner - head to Arinsal first. The food stations vary a lot. Best food we found was at the new venue previously known as Obelix on the Arinsal side. Fantastic week - will go again for sure.

  • Pal: OK for pure beginners, but as a boarder the blues are challenging (icy/flat) for late beginners. Arinsal: much better all round, but can be repetitive.
  • 3 hour transfer from airport...

At the time of visiting the resort was short of snow, so there was no off peak. Much of the time the park was shut due to the snow being too soft. I would visit again and i think I would probably have rated it better if the snow conditions had been there

  • Nice friendly place slope well groomed
  • Small area

The snow isn't good, it's either frozen solid or slushy mush, and that can change in the space of 5 minutes. You find a favourite run, love it, go back up the chair left ride it again and it's suddenly garbage.

  • Cheap
  • Inconsistency

Les pistes sont magnifiques. Très très grand domaine skiable. Les remontés sont rapides à prendre .

Pas grd monde sur les pistes, remontées mecanoques moderne. Pistes avec beaucoup de cailloux et qui ne devrait même pas etre ouverte, le matériel de ski en souffre encore...

  • Équipement de rzmontees mécanique
  • Cailloux sur les pistes

Es una buena estación, te sientes bien yo hace muchos años que voy a la misma pero siempre está el mismo problema, la falta de control en las pistas hay mucha irresponsabilidad y los jefes de pistas no sancionan a personas irresponsables que ponen en peligro la seguridad de los demás por lo demás muy bien.

  • familiaridad
  • poco control en pistas

катание среднее, фристайл парк не работает, отвратительная ситуация с автобусами, можно ждать час и не уместиться. сомневаюсь что ещё приедем сюда

  • есть где кататься вне трасс
  • очень плохо с транспортом, часто не работают подъемники, мало трасс подготовлены

Piste non divertenti per i principianti.
