Arcalís lies at the very head of the high Ordino valley in northern Andorra - the smallest area in the principality and the furthest from any border, and so the quietest. The pistes are almost entirely on treeless ground beneath the Arcalís and Cataperdís peaks, and right there begins the terrain people actually come for: the steep couloirs and bowls around the area have made Arcalís one of the best freeride spots in the Pyrenees, and a stop on the Freeride World Tour.

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.
