School Ski Trips to Vallnord, Andorra

Our school ski trips to Vallnord in Andorra offer an exceptional ski experience at a great value price. High in the Pyrenees resort it is a place that has preserved its natural mountain resources. Superb to be at one with nature I’d say.

Vallnord is made up of three stunning resorts: Arcalis, Arinsal and Pal, combing together to offer skiers an exceptional variety of quality skiing. Accessible using one ski pass. With a whopping 43 lifts, there will be no waiting in queues to get to the top of the beautiful white fluffy mountains; Vallnord presents itself as extremely desirable for school ski trips.

Andorra being a petite 468 sq. km. makes this destination great to cover a whole scope of activities across the entire district.
