1 Arinsal (Andorra)
Picturesque tree-lined pistes and wide slopes make Arinsal an ideal destination for
new skiers and families. Beginner runs stretch gently down from the top of the slopes, so
even first-timers can enjoy the amazing mountain vistas.
Heavy investment in the resort has resulted in efficient, high-speed lifts that
dramatically reduce queuing time. The Vallnord lift pass also covers the Arcalis resort,
so you get even more ski-mileage for your money. With a free children’s lift pass (up to
11 years) for every adult pass purchased, Arinsal is a beautiful and budget-friendly
option.
2 Flaine (France)
Wide-open nursery slopes, a vast range of affordable family-friendly hotels and great
apres-ski activities, make Flaine a fantastic destination for a cheap skiing holiday
