Independent companies: you book with them, on their terms. Prices are as they publish them and may change.
Ordino Arcalís is at the end of the CG-3 road, above El Serrat, in the northern corner of Andorra. It was founded in 1983 by the residents of the parish and is the smallest of the country's three resorts: 30.5 km, against the more than 63 of Pal Arinsal and the 215 of Grandvalira. What sets it apart lies off the slopes: four freeride zones.
Visit Ordino gives it 30.5 km of slopes and 16 lifts, plus 3.4 km of marked freeride itineraries and about 120 unmarked routes. The resort counts 27 pistes and four freeride zones. The Tristaina cable car goes up from the base, at 1,940 metres, to the Coma d'Arcalís, at 2,200. Since 2016 the resort has produced all the energy it uses with a small hydroelectric plant.
The 2026-27 season runs from 4 December to 4 April, with slopes open from 9:00 to 17:00 and ticket offices from 8:45 to 16:00. The adult, junior and child lift pass has dynamic pricing, which you only see when you choose the day on the website; online it is usually cheaper. What it does publish: over-75s and children up to age 5 do not pay, ages 65 to 69 pay €29.50 and ages 70 to 74, €25, always at the ticket office. If you do one run and the weather is bad, you can swap the lift pass for another day. The pass for two days or more is also valid at Pal Arinsal. There is a package of two hotel nights and one day's lift pass from €148.50 per person.
The resort's school offers private lessons from €115 for two hours for one person and group courses of three hours a day, for three to five days, from €147 for adults and €133 for children aged 6 to 11. The weekend one costs €98.50. A lift pass is required for everything. Equipment hire is in the L'Hortell and Planells buildings, card only, and also has snowshoes.
From Ordino, along the CG-3, passing La Cortinada, Llorts and El Serrat. From 1 November to 15 May, winter equipment is compulsory. There are about 1,500 free spaces at the foot of the slopes, with chargers at Planells and L'Hortell, and a VIP car park at €12 a day. If you don't want to drive on snow, the free bus leaves Ordino at 8:30, 8:50, 9:30 and 10:30, and comes down from Arcalís at 15:00, 16:00, 16:30 and 17:00.
