Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm looking for a v.cheap 4/5 days to Arinsal end of March/early April. I have already been to Livigno this year and would love to go back but transfer bit of a nightmare (20+ hrs ). Anywho we are beginner'ish (2 trips) so Arinsal/Livigno would work for us as this is where we have been before. We're trying to get to the point of being able to ski without being terrified so we figure we need to get a second trip in this season whilst we still kinda remember stuff! We have done the package thing twice now but this time we would like to try booking everything separate ourselves to see if we can get it a bit cheaper. Whilst in Livigno I got a really good website which basically is run by the local ski instructors and allows you to book everything for a holiday and their rates are reasonable - www.livigno.net. So, can anyone please recommend a similar website for Arinsal. I know from google there are zillions of sites out there but what I really want is one that does not involve an agency.

I have just got back from Arinsal, some very good snow out there.
There is a basic but cheap place right next to the Gondola called the Poblado.
Also try Andorraholidays.com
We just stayed in the St Andreu which is very good for the money and is a large apartment. 2 twin bedrooms and 2 sofa beds in the living room costs about 550 pounds sterling.

arinsal.co.uk looks good thanks.
I know this is an open ended question but can you advise on a good place for us to go for our 2nd trip this year. We have just considered Livigno/Andorra upto now but perhaps we should broaden our minds a bit!.........must be cheap, cheap, cheap, suitable for beginner/intermediates and good snow late march/early april with decent nightlife..............

emamcl,
Passo Tonale ticks all your boxes apart from nightlife, although there are a good few bars and one nightclub. Good deals from Norn Iron too

Andorra is cheap as chips and usually has good snow until the end of march. Nightlife in Arinsal is ok with quite a few bars although its not as pumping as some places.
Look on Vallnord.com and apply for a members card that gets you 10% off the lift pass and 15% off ski hire as well as discounts in the shops.

I did a DIY 5 day trip to Arinsal a couple of years back the best deal I found hotel wise was Xsalet Verdu booked on Expidia, Easyjet flights and hired a Citron C2 diesel from Barcelona airport. It worked out cheap-ish and fitted around my limited leave time. In short its do-able and the drive was about 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
