Vallnord
Located high in the Pyrenees Mountains, Vallnord is one of
Andorra's most popular ski holiday resorts, appealing to all kinds
of holidaymakers and travellers. The diversity of pistes draws
thousands of tourists each year, from experienced skiers to
beginners and families looking for the ultimate in skiing holidays.
With green, blue, red and black rated runs, skiers of all skill
levels can enjoy the resort of Vallnord, and there are even ski
schools for beginners and children keen on trying their hand at the
sport.
Pal and Arinsal, which are linked by cable car, form part of the
largest ski area in Vallnord, offering very different types of
skiing terrain, while the Ordino-Arcalis Valley area in the extreme
northeast is highly popular with experienced locals for its
off-piste skiing. The summer months are also a great time to visit
this mountainous resort, where other acitivites like mountain
biking, horse riding and fly fishing are highly popular sports and
Vallnord even hosted the Mountain Biking World Championships in
2009. Most holidaymakers who visit Vallnord generally stay in
Arinsal, but the town of La Massana also makes a great base as the
gondola to Pal is nearby and Arcalis is just a 20 minute drive
away.
