Hotel Palarine

The Free Ski bus stops outside the hotel for a 3 minute ride to the cable car to Arinsal.

Alternatively the cable car for Pal is the same distance downhill towards La Massana.

The Hotel Palarine is situated in the midst of the ski resort of vallnord which combines the three ski resorts of Pal, Arinsal and Arcalis. Whether in winter for skiing, or in summer for mountain biking and hiking, enjoy the mountains at the Hotel Palarine.

For those making their own way to The Hotel Palarine Andorra, it is accesssible from a number of airports, all of which are about 3 hours by car or bus. Novatel operates a very reliable door to door service which can be booked online. Links have been included below should you require further information. There are hire cars in Andorra, Avis and Europcar amongst others. It is advisable to look for a deal from your arrival airport if you are looking at hiring a car, rather than getting the bus here and then hiring.

If you are driving and have GPS the best route is via Calaf and Ponts. The GPS will insist that you go via Berga but we recommend the route through Ponts. To enter Ponts in the GPS you need to enter " El Ponts" If you don't have a GPS click here (PDF format) for printable instructions as to how to avoid getting lost in Barcelona.

Novatel

There is a door to door mini-bus service called Novatel. This runs five times per day from Barcelona to any address of your choice in Andorra, and twice per day to and from Girona and Toulouse. Their time table is copied for reference. The price of a one way trip is from € 28 to the central station or €40 to the Hotel Palarine, return fares are € 48 and € 68 respectively.

Direct By Bus

This is another regular service which leaves from the Terminals at Barcelona Airport and goes via Barcelona city to Andorra. It is a little longer than Novatel and they do not run a door to door service. There are however 8 daily services and if Novatel's timings do not suit you then this can be the best option.
