Visitor Reviews of Arcalis


Kathie Phelps from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

We don't usually tell people about Arcalis, we keep it for ourselves. When you 'own the mountain' at 10.00am on a Monday, ski free with no troublesome out-of-control weekenders and there's magnificent surroundings. The mountain enfolds you and makes you feel safe yet dares you to try those little chutes and the powder you spot from the chairlift, just beyond that big rock, skirting the groomed piste. It's like coming home. If you like glitz, glamour, queues, ski theives and poncy outfits - don't go to Arcalis - please! The language is mostly Catalan, an ancient language. Get by in Spanish and French and the good old English substitute - Charades! Seriously, try to learn a few words, they really appreciate it.
