A few questions about Vallnord

A snowHead

Hi guys.

Made a post a few weeks back about skiing in December with a group of lads. Didn't end up happening because a few couldn't make it but we are still looking go and I'm likely to book within the next few weeks.

I've just spotted a deal on secret escapes for Vallnord but was wondering if it's suitable for us - a group of 20 something guys looking for any sort of apres and some snow - not too much to ask, surely!?

The deal is £530 for flights, transfers, hotel, ski pass, half board for 5 nights. Not too bad. I could probably do it cheaper but can't be bothered with the hassle of booking everything separately.

So, if the resort sounds good enough based on your feedback I'll look to go ahead and book.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi @zoglog, it really depends on where you'd be staying - I've seen a couple of good offers on Secret Escapes but each were very different in terms of where the hotels are located:
the one for the Princesa Park in Arinsal, I'd certainly recommend that for you and your mates given your criteria, Arinsal village has a fun apres-ski scene and is compact enough for you not to have too far to go out and back in the evening, the hotel bar is quite cool too, and the ski area above is reached via a gondola from the centre of the village, just a short walk from the Princesa Park; the other offer was for the new/refurbed Hotel Mu in La Cortinada, lovely looking hotel and I'd certainly consider staying there as long as I had my own transport and wanted some peace & quiet, La Cortinada is a tiny hamlet a few miles drive away from the ski station of Arcalis, a cracking little ski area covered by the Vallnord lift pass but not linked to the main Pal-Arinsal ski area and really, really quiet - no apres other than the hotel's bar.

Help!!
