Welcome to La Massana Ski Resort

Quiet and scenic ski resort
Family and beginner-friendly
Good choice of accommodation
Fantastic value

La Massana Andorra is a fantastic family and beginner-friendly ski resort. Home to gentle slopes amid the Pyrenees, this charming mountain village is a quieter alternative to its more lively neighbours, Arinsal and Pas de la Casa

From La Massana ski resort at an altitude of 1,300m, it’s just a seven-and-a-half-minute gondola ride to the ski slopes of Pal. Then, from here, you can ski over to Arinsal, giving you 63km of pistes to explore up to 2,500m, across the Pal-Arinsal ski area. And the best bit? Most of the runs are cruisy blues and easy reds, ideal for beginner and intermediate skiers or boarders.

Besides the fun and easy-to-access pistes, another factor that makes La Massana so popular is the low price tag, which is often a fraction of the cost of ski resorts in the Alps. If you’re just starting out or getting clipping into your skis after a bit of a break, this is a fantastic ski resort to find your flow.

Best time to ski in La Massana

La Massana ski resort offers pretty decent prices throughout the season, but if you need to keep spending on the low down, avoid busy times like Christmas, New Year, and February holidays to bag a bargain. That said, the Andorran ski area usually puts on an array of festive activities in December. And if sunny bluebird days are what you’re after, a ski holiday in La Massana at the end of January or the beginning of February is your best bet.

Snow Conditions in La Massana

La Massana’s ski season is officially open from mid-December to mid-April, with the most reliable snow peaking somewhere in the middle. Although winter snow patterns can be a bit varied, La Massanna has many slopes over 2,000m, meaning there’s a good chance of decent snow throughout the season. Snow cannons are also on standby to top up the slopes if snowfall is scarce.
