LA MASSANA SKI HOLIDAYS

La Massana is the resort that has recently been lift-linked to Pal and has good access to Andorra La Vella and Ordino – Arcalis. Previously La Massana was known for its location on the fork of the road between the Vallnord valleys containing the resorts of Arinsal and Arcalis. The addition of a modern gondola linking it directly into the Pal ski area has essentially made it the resort for the Pal ski area; Pal itself contains almost no tourist accommodation. Guests staying in La Massana have immediate access into the Pal ski area, can then ski on into the Arinsal ski area and by road have an easy option of taking the route to the distant but impressive Vallnord ski area of Arcalis. La Massana is a reasonable size but does get heavy traffic at times.

La Massana is essentially the resort for the Pal ski area. The lift leaving the centre of the resort is modern and has good amenities with escalators and wide walkways.

All the skiing takes place at Pal, which is a pretty decent area. There is a good beginners area at Pal and easy skiing but also some steeper sections. Not ideal for advanced skiers and boarders.
