Hi

I am going skiing in Andorra in Feb, Arinsal. Have never ever been skiing before, any tips or interesting info about the resort?

thanks

What can I say?

Great resort for night life...Slopes are newbie friendly..

Being Duty Free you won't believe how cheap it is either!

Honestly I can go on all day about it....Bottom line is you'll love it!

Finally....want a day off Skiing, Barcelona is only a few hours away for a (long admitted) day out.

agree with adydb, it was one of the first resorts I went to 8 years ago when I started boarding, varied after ski, plenty of bars and happy hours, try to avoid a bar called blues as it is a gay bar, as my mate found out! hee hee! but all sorts of different places and two night spots, one I think is a bit danky and your feet stick to the floor but drinks are large and cheap, the runs are good and snow is pretty much guaranteed in high season. Have a good jib park over the other side in g rouix ( sp ) and a few good cheap alpine restaurants, plus bringing booze back is a must, as it is a tax and duty free country on those items.

"bringing booze back is a must".....

indeed it is, but be careful not to exceed your duty free limits. The authorities regularly check vehicles leaving Andorra for contraband, particularly on the Spanish side, and often miles after the border crossing.
