Vallnord / Arcalís

Breathe in the fresh air of the most beautiful countryside in the Principality. Enjoying the snow in its original state is an unforgettable experience for everyone that participates in snow activities and it is within easy reach in Sector Ordino-Arcalís. The station also has a Freeride Area, where you can practise freeriding or going on the most impressive and secure controlled off-piste areas in Andorra. Its location in the extreme north/northeast of the country and its high peaks, between 1,940 m and 2,625 m, means that it benefits from great quantities of snow and is a uniquely beautiful alpine environment, which is perfect for controlled off-piste skiing.
