La Massana town is the capital of the La Massana Parish area that includes Arinsal, Erts and Anyos. The gondola is in the centre of town, with the Hotel Magic Ski, actually built around the gondola station. This takes you directly to the Pal ski station, part of the Vallnord ski area, joining on to Arinsal via cable car.
La Massana is becoming ever more popular as a base for ski and snow enthusiasts for various reasons. The ski station at Pal has plenty to offer; a great ski school, nursery facilities and plenty of adventure activities. Apart from that, the town of La Massana has plenty of shops, bars and restaurants as well as the “comic museum” and the Rossell Forge museum. La Massana has much more of a “small town” feel rather than being just a “resort”.
Only 5 km from the capital of Andorra, Andorra La Vella, with regular public transport taking a matter of minutes. There you have the beautiful shopping district as well as “Caldea”, one of the largest spas in Europe, within easy reach for an afternoon / evening off the slopes.
A varied choice of accommodation in La Massana means that there is something for everyone, and the added bonus of being more affordable than the offers in the Grandvalira ski areas. The Magic Ski Hotel offers 4* comfortable and affordable accommodation and is actually built around the gondola in the centre of the town. At 100 metres, the sister hotel Magic La Massana is also 4* and has an Irish-style pub/bar with games room on the premises and spacious accommodation. Both hotels have indoor pools, spa & wellness centres for those Après Ski relaxing moments.
