Ordino Arcalís Extends Ski Season to April 12 on Excellent Snow
Ordino Arcalís ski resort prolongs its winter season by six days due to 3-3.5m snow depths, keeping all pistes open, unlike Grandvalira and Pal.
Key Points
- Snow depths 3-3.5m keep all pistes and off-piste areas open since December.
- Extension from April 6 to 12; ski school, rentals, and select restaurants operational.
- Grandvalira (310cm snow) and Pal Arinsal (220cm) close as planned on April 6.
**Ordino Arcalís ski resort will extend its winter season until Sunday, April 12, thanks to excellent snow conditions with depths between three and 3.5 metres.**
The station announced the decision on Monday, citing consistent snowfall throughout the season that has kept all pistes open since late December, along with two dedicated off-piste areas. This extension runs six days beyond the original April 6 closure, which aligned with the end of Easter week.
Key services will continue operating, such as the ski and snowboard school and equipment rental. From April 7 to 12, Restaurant La Coma and Fast Food l’Hortell will stay open to serve skiers, while Planells and Portelles outlets will close as planned on April 6. Note that one report mentioned a 2026 closure for these venues, but this appears inconsistent with the season's timeline.
In contrast, Grandvalira and Pal Arinsal—both operating at full piste capacity with snow depths up to 310cm and 220cm—will stick to their April 6 closures.
