@sdodero Thanks and you are right, that was from my early days of making videos but I’m still learning and try to improve everyday. Thank you for your comment.
Amazing video! Thank you so much for going through the trouble to do it! I’ve been to Granvalira many times (about 10 times), but the last time was more or less 13 years ago 😅 I’m returning next year with my fiancé and can’t wait to relive those memories
Hello Emmanuelle! Congratulations on the video so rich in information! I just missed the instructions for purchasing tickets. Our interest is in the Arinsal-Pal area. Is the ticket the same as the one purchased on the Grandvalira website? A video that covered parking logistics, equipment rentals, etc. would be interesting! Thank you for the informations!
@Marcelo Cunha Hi Marcelo! Thank you very much for your comment of appreciation and I’m so glad that you found the video informative. Concerning the purchasing of the ski pass, you can purchase your ski pass online or on the same day at the ticket counter where you ski. I have friends who purchased the ski passes in the morning at the ticket window before they go up the slopes. If y’all are interested in only Arinsal and Pal then there is a ski pass only for Arinsal-Pal-Arcalís (you will also get a day or two to ski at Grandvalira with this ski pass, check with them). The ski pass for Pal, Arinsal, Ordino Arcalís is called NORD PASS and yes y’all can purchase it on the website (at least the last time I checked for a friend at the beginning of the season). Parking at Arinsal is easy as there are two huge parkings right by the gondola, big parking at the chairlift Josep Serra chairlift to go up the ski station at Arinsal instead of going up the gondola at the middle of Arinsal village. Y’all can also drive all the way up to the top parking where the ski station is instead of parking at Josep Serra chairlift, just keep going and follow the one road up instead of parking at Josep Serra chairlift (there are two big hotels at the Josep Serra parking: Patagonia and Ushuaia. You shouldn’t have any trouble with circulating around Arinsal and there’s only one road up all the way to the top ski station and same road down so y’all can’t get lost. Y’all can even take the cable car down to Pal ski areas by going up chairlift to the very top of Arinsal, so there’s no need to drive to Pal but y’all can also drive to Pal from Arinsal if the cable car is not working for one reason or another. There is a big parking at Pal main ski station and smaller parkings at Cubil chairlift and Coll de la Botella chairlift. I will try to do a video or include the logistic in my future snow report videos. Though, I usually included the driving up to the ski station bits in most of my uploaded snow report videos, at the very start of the video. Are y’all coming to Arinsal/Pal for 2024/2025 ski season? Concerning equipment rentals, I had a good experience with Pic Negra up at Arinsal ski report, renting skis for my friend for a few days. I will get some information from Pic Negra for you and put it up in my snow report video as well. I know a few people who booked their ski vacation through certain agencies, they get equipments and lunch vouchers as well but I don’t know the details. Just to let y’all know that there’s that option. Having written all this information, I will try to include everything in my future videos. Hope the above information helps, do let me know if y’all have any other questions and happy skiing Marcelo ❄️⛷️💃🏻
Is there any possibility of you making a video about the ski towns in Andorra? And just asking in general about your experience: -are there telecabinas/gondolas from the towns? Which ones? -Is there necessities like farmacies, veterinaries, bakeries, public transport, people, etc.? -Pricing -Shops nearby? Thank you very much!!
@dragthedog Hi Drag the Dog! I’d love to video each Andorran ski towns as I think it would be very interesting though I have to find the time to video them, I was just thinking about them just to add to the two ski resorts that I’ve already done, one is Pas de la Casa and the other one is Arinsal. Now that I have a request, I will definitely video them. Here is a brief reply to sum up a few of your questions: La Massana is a decent town with a cable car 🚠 going up to Pal ski resort, from Pal you can cross over with ski at Arinsal resort by another 🚠 or vice versa. In order to go to Pal, Arinsal and Ordino (Arcalís ski station) you must go through La Massana, you will see a short video of it tomorrow just to get an idea (I happened to be in La Massana this afternoon after skiing and made a video of the rush hour) and this town has everything from businesses to residential buildings and houses. Encamp is another big dormitory town for Andorra La Vella with a Funicamp 🚠 that goes up to the ski station then y’all would be skiing in Grandvalira. Nothing much going on in this town as far as I know. Then there’s Canillo, another full blown town with access up to Grandvalira ski area, again this town is similar to La Massana. If y’all keep going pass Canillo then y’all will get to el Tarter, Soldeu, Grau Roig then Pas de La Casa, they are all just ski resorts (chairlifts by the hotels) with the exception of Pas de La Casa another ski resort town with loads of shops and lively après-ski life, people who live there permanently are mostly workers as this town is the end of the road for this tiny country. Most expats live in their own community in a way, it depend if y’all are coming into Andorra to work or to retire as well. Working people tend to live where it’s convenient for them to get to work, retired people tend to choose where they have the best views…at least that’s what I understand. Now, I assume that y’all have already been to Andorra La Vella the main town and other towns after crossing the Spanish border entering into Andorra. If not, do let me know. There are public buses even free buses to go up to Arinsal, Pal and Arcalís ski stations. Basically Andorra has everything you could think of plus skiing and hiking. Things cost a bit more as everything has to be imported in but hiking up the mountains is free, ski passes are cheap. Clean mountain air, clean water and streets, safe, well maintained and organized little country. Maybe busy during rush hours especially at the end of the day during ski season as there’s only one way in and out of each town. A lot of workers comes from Spain, Portugal and South America so Spanish is widely used as a common language but Catalan and French are the languages especially French in Pas de la Casa. Big English spoken community. Email me if y’all have other questions that I may be of help. Take care and Happy Skiing ⛷️
Glad you liked the video and yes it could have been divided into different sectors instead of all in one video. You’re right it was long, but because I knew I will be uploading videos weekly from different areas so I just did all areas in one go. Appreciate your comment 😉 and happy skiing ⛷️
Hi Jake, I ski at Grandvalira every year so I can definitely make one video about the changes of Grandvalira this 22-23 season, are there any specific changes you want to know or just in general?
@@whatemmanuellesees in your last video you mentioned the next video would include upcoming changes to this season. Keen to know what’s new this season as I’m coming at the start of Jan, stopping in Pas De La Casa :). Thank you
Okiedokie I will certainly upload videos of ski & snow reports/updates this season. So far Grandvalira will run all ski resorts this year so we will wait and see what it will be like. Good I’m sure! That’s great that you are coming to Pas de La Casa 👍 Thank you 😊
Hi Daniel! Happy New Year 🎆 Yes there are ski buses (free) and normal buses (not free) but I recommend you check out the bus schedule before getting stuck somewhere. It’s unlikely that you would be stuck at one ski area as they are very well connected (when the snow conditions are good and all runs are open). Another option is taxi, Andorra is a tiny country so the distance from one place to another is not great, I’ve seen people going up/down the ski station by taxi. Plus, the hotels also provide transportation to ski stations like Anyòs Park Hotel for example. Happy skiing ⛷️
Hello, I’m from Brazil and I will be visiting Andorra for the first time in January 2025. My family and I are beginners in the sport, and I plan to stay at Les Escalades for easy access to both Grandvalira and Vallnord, as this is my first time and I’m not sure which would be better for our profile. Which slope would you recommend? Also, if I stay at Les Escalades, is the access to the slopes via the cable cars fast or very slow? Thank you!
Honestly staying in Escaldes is a big mistake. You are literally miles from the nearest lift which you will have to reach by car which will need to have winter tyres or by bus and that’s a really pain. If you are a beginner stay somewhere you can walk to the lifts .i suggest Canillo for Grandvalira or La Massana for Pal or Arinsal which have super easy access to the slopes. Here you get access to all the winter activities and the feel of a ski resort.
@guibarbieri8343 Hi! Excellent choice of coming to Andorra to ski as the slopes are gentler for beginners. Personally I don’t think staying in Escaldes is a good idea unless you have your own transportation or the hotel will take you where you ski for the day. Staying in La Massana is a better option as you get quick access to Pal (good for beginners), the cable car takes y’all up to Pal directly from Pal y’all can take the cable car to Arinsal and vice versa (but that requires a bit of an intermediate level). From La Massana y’all can take the bus or hotel shuttle (if available) to Arinsal (or stay in Arinsal a full blown resort) which is good for beginners as the area is smaller easy slopes and easy to find each other. From La Massana y’all can also go to Arcalís by the free ride bus which operates for these three resorts. Then going to Grandvalira from La Massana is not that far as all you need to get to is the Funicamp in Encamp which will take you up to the heart of Grandvalira ski areas and from there you can ski to any resort at Grandvalira though the slopes may require a bit more work. Another option is to stay in Encamp or Canillo both have quick access to Grandvalira but from there going back to Arinsal, Pal or Arcalís is more complicated and time consuming. Again if y’all have your own ride then y’all can stay at Escaldes which is downtown of Andorra La Vella, the traffic may be hectic during ski season. La Massana, Arinsal, Encamp and Canillo are resorts with markets, pharmacies and lots of restaurants to choose from. I’m saying all this thinking that skiing is your number one goal of the trip. Otherwise, Escaldes or Andorra la Vella is more for shopping. Soldeu for luxury hotels, Pas de la Casa is right at the end of the country and the last resort of Grandvalira, it’s the après-ski capital. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions and wishing y’all a great holiday ski vacation in Andorra.
@whatemmanuellesees Thank you for your advice, Im trying to change my reservation to La Massana, but there is no rooms avaliable anymore. Im planning to book a room in Arinsal, what do you think about it ? As you said, from Arinsal I can go easiy to Pal, is that right ? For beginners do you prefer Pal-Arinsal or Grandvalira ? And which of the ski resorts has the best chance of snow?
@ Hi! Sorry for the late response, for some reason your comment did not appear until today. Yes, you can go to Pal from Arinsal or vice versa as they are connected by a cable car 🚡 ride. From the top of Arinsal you get the cable car to Pal ski area. Arinsal is a small more contained ski area easy for beginners and hard to get lost. Pal is a little bit bigger with more runs so you just stick with runs that you are comfortable going down with. Now, if you decide to ski at Grandvalira then you could stay at Canillo, they have a cable car that can take y’all up to the main ski area of Canillo Montmagic ski school with a few runs for beginners then you could ski to different resorts in Grandvalira which is much much bigger easier to get lost. It’s snowing right now and will continue for a couple more days with below zero temperatures especially at night. Arinsal usually has good snow as it’s small easier for them to make snow for the area when it’s necessary. Let me know if you have any other questions that I may be of help. Merry Christmas 🎄 and happy skiing!
Hi Mathew! French Alps in general? It’s really difficult to compare the two, I say this because there are small numbers of resorts in Andorra and literally there are hundreds of French resorts. For example, La Grand Bornand is far smaller than Grandvalira and the three valleys are much bigger than Pal. If I were to generalize the lift infrastructure in France tends to be newer than in Andorra. The pisting in Andorra is as least as good as in France. Après Ski is better in Andorra. French and Andorran ski resorts are soulless compared to Italian, Switzerland and Austrian resorts. One thing that is inarguably true is in term of value, Andorra offers better value without compromising the size or quality of the ski area. A family of 4 would spend half of what they would spend in the French Alps. This season, there are a lot of British Skiers who used to ski at the French Alps are now skiing in Andorra. It depends on what you are looking for and your level plus taking into account the snow conditions with this year is better in Andorra than in the French Alps. Hope this helps for you to decide where you will want to ski ⛷️ Happy Skiing ⛷️
@@whatemmanuellesees please replace it! (something Spanish or basque?) Anyway, thanks again for the video, you’ve helped convince me to go there this winter, not sure yet which resort, prob pas de la casa, in any case it seems easy to move between them also on skis.
Great! I’m glad the video helped 😇 Pas de la Casa is good as you will be in a town that has everything plus very lively ski resort but most importantly you will be able to ski in all sectors of Grandvalira, this year they are adding more runs so it will be more than 200 kilometers of runs. Unfortunately, I can’t change the background music of any last year video but I will try to find something for my ski videos of this coming season, are you from the Basque country? I’ve been there and loved it 😊
Hi Kadeem! You can go to any of ski rental shop and rent your equipment. There are many in the area you choose to ski at. They will give you the skis accordingly to your level, boots and helmet too.
Not impressed with ski shop boot fitting, the so called expert doesn't know how to do up your boots correctly. Toe buckles should be the last and fastened lightly to stop snow ingress only. It should always be ankle buckle first, then the top buckle. then finally toes buckles.
Hi Andrew! You are absolutely correct ✅ right on the money. We told him off right there and then but the shop is good they have more ski merchandise than even big shop like Villadomat. Very well observed 👍
Great Video. I can only imagine that editing will improve with practice. One of the most comprehensive reviews of the Area

Not impressed with ski shop boot fitting, the so called expert doesn't know how to do up your boots correctly. Toe buckles should be the last and fastened lightly to stop snow ingress only. It should always be ankle buckle first, then the top buckle. then finally toes buckles.
