Second trip away and really enjoyed it. Was there on opening week, which meant a lot of lifts were closed and I had to heel-edge down the steeper blues as they were icy. Hated the flats due to the ice and moved over to Arinsal for the middle part of the week, which was great experience. Snow cannons and lifts came on halfway through week and so last 2 days back at Pal, plus a week of improvement, meant everything was better.
Prefer the variety at Pal, but if you're a beginner - head to Arinsal first.
The food stations vary a lot. Best food we found was at the new venue previously known as Obelix on the Arinsal side.
Fantastic week - will go again for sure.
