Advantages: Ski School,Value for money Disadvantages: small ski area, mountain restaurants
...After a very long transfer from Tolouse which goes past Pas de la Casa and Soldue you arrive an quite a nice little resort of Arinsal. Accomodation is varied from cheap apartments to De luxe Hotels. A high number of bars/restaurants reflect a lively nightlife.
Getting up to the skiing is by a cable car from the centre of Arinsal which tends to get very busy at peak times at top and bottom, for those staying at the top end of the village there is the advantage of a two man chair right up to the base station and snow conditions permiting a choice of a blue or black run right back down to the Hotel Crest and Patagonia Apartments which never seems to get busy.So the skiing, well arinsal's stretches right up the mountain with a series of easy blues and reds coming back down to the cota area,so no chance of getting lost, ideal for beginners...

Advantages: close to ski lifts, bars and restaurants Disadvantages: food can be a bit repetitive
...Not a bad little hotel. Quite small, especially the bar but the rooms were very clean and comfortable and the food was fine. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was very close to the ski lifts (1 minutes walk) and was centrally located for most of the shops and bars. The only downside to the Como Pedrosa is that it is at the top of a steep hill and it can be a real hike back up after a night out, though as there are plenty of bars and restaurants close by this is not too much of a problem. It is within easy reach of the capital Andorra La Vella (20 minutes on bus) though the transfers from Toulouse are quite long at approx 4 - 5 hours. Overall I would stay here again, no problem....

Advantages: excellent beginer slopes Disadvantages: limited skiing for the more experienced
...Arinsal, my first trip skiing was to arinsal andoora in the winter of 1994, a two week holiday with my step brother. We book with cyrstal holiday to stop in a small family run hotel, towards the lower end of the price scale. About a month before we were due to travel we were contacted and told there had been a problem with the hotel and they would have to move us to a different hotel the St Gottard. A 5 star hotel and one of the best in the resort. Bonus
As with Pas da La Casa, you can see my report on that in the other section, the travelling is quite long and tedious as you have to fly toulouse in france and then transfer by coach to Andorra which takes about 3-4 hours. Arinsal is the last drop off by the coach so everyones usually very tired by the time you arrive.

The hotel is towards the bottom of the hill leading up...
