What visitors say about the resort
Ordino Arcalís is praised for its snow and freeriding: its north-facing slopes hold their cover better than anywhere else in Andorra, while its off-piste terrain is considered the best in the country. Visitors also note the lack of crowds - people come here to ski, not to stroll around.
Criticism focuses on the resort's size and infrastructure: there is almost no accommodation by the slopes, so visitors must travel up from the valley. Wind is another issue, as it can lead to the upper lifts being closed. Visitors also complain that there is little to do in the area in the evening.
