Vallnord Resort Facilities

Every resort has its own ski school, (with Arinsal home to two, employing more than 200 instructors) each offering basic learn-to-ski or snowboard packages as well as specialist techniques for more advanced skiers. 

 

Again, each resort in Vallnord has a nursery or creche, taking babies from ages 1-4, and there's a children's snow park for ages 4-8.

 

The four towns have a selection of shops, ranging from small ski hire and sports shops to local bakeries, clothing and gift shops. As Andorra is known for its duty-free status, there are plenty of great deals to be had, with the best shopping found in Andorra La Vella.

 

A varied dining scene can be found in Vallnord, with Arinsal in particular boasting a huge range of restaurants, serving everything from traditional Andorran, French and Spanish cuisine, to classic British, Italian, Chinese and Mexican food. 

 

Arinsal is the liveliest region in Vallnord, with 24 bars to choose from. There's a range of entertainment options in the area including Irish pubs, English bars, cocktail bars and local Andorran 'bordas' for a more traditional feel.

 

Arinsal is well-equipped with banks with cashpoints, a post office, two supermarkets, an internet cafe and a launderette, whilst the smaller Ordino-Arcalis has banks and supermarkets, too. Regular buses run between the different sectors in the region.

 

Each resort has a medical centre, and there is a chemist in Arinsal.
