Here at Hotel Sis Pins, we are delighted to announce that we have welcomed the beautiful, Hotel Micolau into our ever-growing family.

 

 

Located within the historical Andorran village of Arinsal, Hotel Micolau is regarded as one of the best hotels in the area, due to its friendly atmosphere, excellent staff and stunning location.

 

 

Arinsal is a village in the Valls del Nord, in the western part of Andorra and is considered one of the most well conserved, beautiful and tranquil parts of the country.  The spectacular mountain views and perfectly peaceful surroundings provide an outdoor haven for so many tourists.

 

 

Surrounded by The Pyrenees, the resort is incredibly popular with skiers and snowboarders alike, offering a fantastic variety of runs, as well as some great places to cut off the pistes for those wanting more adventure and challenging skiing.

With Hotel Micolau situated just a mere 50 metres from the cable car which takes you to the Vallnord ski resort, It’s easy to see why the hotel is so popular.

 

As the sun sets the après ski commences! Arinsal and its lively atmosphere attract many skiers who are keen to enjoy the local bars, restaurants and live music after a hard day on the piste!

 

 

 

Not only is Arinsal known for great ski-ing, after the snow begins to thaw, there are many activities in the summer; making Hotel Micolau an all year round holiday destination.

 

Visitors can begin their hike up the mountains and rolling hills to the Comapedrosa National Park, where natural beauty, flora and fauna are aplenty.  There are guided/non guided walking excursions, as well as tours on horseback where you are guaranteed to get the most out of the stunning mountain scenery that Arinsal has to offer.

 

 

The Hotel itself dates back to the 19th century, and is one of the oldest buildings in the village of Arinsal.  After the hotel underwent a major facelift and refurbishment in 2009, the charm and traditional touches remain unspoiled and although steeped in history the new design offers great comfort of the present day.

 

So after a long, exhausting day of exploring the village or enjoying a wide range of winter sports at the ski resort, it’s time to kick back and enjoy the dining facilities Hotel Micolau has to offer.
