La Massana Stats
The Andorran parish of La Massana is home to La Massana town, and slap bang in the middle of that town, a gondola connects to the slopes of wider Vallnord ski area. Part of the same parish and ski area, the village of Pal’s your closest neighbour, with Arinsal connected further along the valley.
Mount Comapedrosa, Andorra’s highest mountain, looms over from a heady 2942m - looking down on the town’s mix of modern builds and pretty Romanesque churches.
Holidays here aren’t quite as lively as over the mountain in Arinsal, making this a terrific place for families who want to ski all day and relax in the evening. That’s not to say there’s nothing going on – La Massana is known for its terrific collection of museums, shops and one of the only banks in the area. The country’s capital, Andorra La Vella, is only 6km away, for duty free shopping galore and the incredible Caldea Spa.

La Massana Restaurants
Food-wise, we like Pizzeria Angelo on Av. Sant Antoni for Italian favourites. Henrik at La Borda Xica (near the Sant Iscle i Santa Victòria church) always recommends the best specials and wines. Cal Silvino on Av. El Traves is a good spot for simple set menus.
La Massana Après Ski
For lively après ski, head over to Arinsal which has a reputation for some of the biggest and best mountain bars in Andorra. La Massana’s drinking scene is a lot more relaxed – most visitors stick to their hotel bars or stay on for an extra glass of vino after supper.
La Massana Activites for Non-skiers
Non-ski activities include exploring the town’s historical buildings and museums, or heading into Andorra La Vella for its incredible Caldea spa and duty free shops.
Clothing Food & Souvenir Shops
There is a shopping arcade in Arinsal and excellent duty free shopping in the capital, Andorra la Vella. Best buys are generally designer clothes, jewellery, watches, sports gear, perfume and alcohol all at greatly reduced prices. There are few choices in Pal but as with all Andorran resorts, Pal is a good base for shoppers. It's well worth checking out the prices at home and planning major purchases. Ski equipment can be as much as half the price you would pay in other countries.
