Format
Wooded descents above La Massana and open upper slopes make Pal Arinsal a rewarding place to spend a day developing riding technique. Lifts let you repeat a familiar line and progress without using all your energy on climbs. Distinguish learning areas, enduro trails and serious downhill tracks: sharing a destination with a World Cup course does not imply identical requirements. Choose a few suitable lines and learn them steadily. The mountain scenery deserves its own pauses, leaving your attention on the surface, movement and other riders during descents.

- Arrange an appropriate bike and protective equipment; ask about roots and surfaces after rain.
