Port Ainé, north-facing pistes above the Pallars.

Port Ainé is above Rialp, in the Orri massif, inside the Alt Pirineu Natural Park. It opened in the 1986-87 season. Its pistes face north and hold the snow; at the top, the six-seat Jet Cim chairlift rises to the Pic de l'Orri, the highest point.

Pistes, altitudes and lifts

26.7 km and 25 pistes: 4 green, 6 blue, 11 red and 4 black, between 1,650 and 2,440 metres. The green Bellavista run is over 3 km long: it is the one beginners head for. Nine lifts: three chairlifts, three drag lifts and two magic carpets. 137 cannons cover 48%. It has a snowpark with its own lift, a play park for the little ones, a sledge run and ski touring routes.
