Hotel Montané is one of those Arinsal hotels that people come back to year after year. The standout is the location, right opposite the Arinsal gondola, so getting onto the mountain each morning is about as easy as it gets. It is a smaller hotel with a more personal feel, which gives it a warm, welcoming atmosphere that a lot of bigger ski hotels cannot match. The hotel is just 25 metres from the cable car, and every room has mountain views, which only adds to that classic ski-holiday feel.

The rooms suit couples, friends and families, with a range of layouts across the hotel and practical touches that make a ski stay easier. Free WiFi, private bathrooms, tea and coffee facilities, ski storage and drying space all help make it a comfortable base for a week in Arinsal without feeling overdone.

The restaurant is a big part of why the Montané has such a loyal following. Restaurant Montané has views towards the cable car base station and focuses on quality Pyrenean ingredients, with a strong French and Spanish wine list that gives dinner here a bit more occasion than the average ski-hotel meal. It is the kind of place that makes staying in for dinner feel like part of the holiday rather than just the easy option.

Why guests like it:

Guests like the Montané because it combines one of the best lift locations in Arinsal with a more relaxed, personal style of hotel. It feels comfortable and looked after, the rooms are well set up for a ski trip, and the restaurant gives it a bit more character than a standard base. It is a particularly good fit for couples and smaller groups, but it also works well for families who want to stay right in the heart of Arinsal.

Good to know:

Family Rooms with 6 beds are available on request. Guests on Half Board will be asked to choose their preferred dinner time on arrival.
