Distances are in a straight line to the nearest lift base, not by road. Spaces, price and type are those recorded in OpenStreetMap; where there is no data, we say so.

Yes: OpenStreetMap marks these as free: Car park by El Cubil, Car park by Telecabina de La Massana, La Massana gondola, Télécabine de La Massana, Car park by la Tossa, Car park by Pedres Blanques I, Car park by la Serra II. Whether a car park is free can change from one season to the next; if there is a barrier or a pay machine, the sign wins.

Tips for parking at Pal Arinsal

• On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays the car parks by the main lifts fill up early: arrive before the lifts open or use the outer car parks and ride the shuttle or gondola.
• If you park at the foot of the slopes, leave the car facing downhill with the handbrake on lightly: in a hard frost the brakes can freeze on.
• Carry snow chains or fit winter tyres: in snow the access road can be closed to cars without them.
• Motorhome and coach parks are separate: overnight stays in car parks are not allowed unless signposted.
• In Andorra the police can require chains or winter tyres in snow; keep chains in the car even if you set off on a clear road.

What about going without a car?
