Pal’s slopes are densely wooded and hold their snow well. Whereas the runs above Arinsal are more open, but reach higher and face north-east.

 

Both areas have extensive snow-making and offer reliable on piste-skiing, despite some recent concerns over erratic early season snowfalls in the Pyrenees.

Where to ski in bad weather:

The densely forested slopes of Pal are the place to head in bad weather, as most of Arinsal's local runs are above the treeline.
