First time in Arinsal and highly recommended. Slopes were well maintained, lift passes very reasonably priced, queue times next to nothing, prices for lunch reasonable. I can't fault the pistes and lifts. My only gripe was how slow the hire shop was but that's a different story. Temperatures when we were there meant the snow was spring like. I hadn't expected to see 16 degrees C at the end of December. But the whole resort was open and we had a great time. I can't comment on the ski/snowboard schools, suffice to say the instructors appeared very good from what I could see. Would I return? Yes.

By far the best place in Arinsal for food and drinks, Staff went above and beyond for my friend and I, especially Dean. So nice to go to an Irish pub in different countries, it’s not easy to keep up with the Irish craic but this pub definitely does ???????????? Customer service was excellent, extremely friendly. There is also a ‘Derby deli’ on the mountain, which is ideal for lunch, The Derby made my ski trip to Arinsal :) would definitely recommend going here, always have different events on like disco bingo, quizzes, live music etc. It has it all :) guaranteed a good time :) really enjoyed my time in Arinsal and especially The Derby Irish Bar.

Our 12 year old had the best 3 days downhill mountain biking and learnt many new skills at bike school. The instructor, Mark, was excellent: friendly, sensible, multilingual and a great teacher- knew how to choose jumps and features according to student's ability. The other kids on the course had similar skill level. All got along well and had a lot of fun. The bike park has high quality runs. Excellent value for money at 35 euro for 3 hours if you book 3 days. Go during the week because courses don't run over the weekend. Commensal Pal and Spot had very good quality hire bikes for a small rider and even swapped the brakes around for our son. Impressively helpful!Staff at the info centre were knowledgeable and multilingual and recommended good walks for the rest of the family. Our 14 year old loved the karting.
