Neilson Chalet Hotel Micolau

You'll find the Micolau chalet hotel in the perfectly-formed resort of Arinsal. It's one of the oldest buildings in Arinsal, but you wouldn't know it from the funky décor. Local stone and solid wooden beams are accentuated by brightly coloured feature walls and contemporary furnishings to create a fun and relaxed vibe.

The small bar (which doubles as the dining room) is decorated in the same kind of style and becomes a real focal point after the slopes close. Grab a drink and a slice of cake whilst catching up with friends and family about your day's exploits on the mountain. After freshening up, head to the dining area for a filling and hearty three-course evening meal, complete with complimentary wine.

Arinsal is the perfect place for beginners and families as there are plenty of nursery slopes, a superb British-run ski and board school and plenty of après-ski activities. Even though there's only 63km of pistes, improvers, intermediates and even the advanced will be tested at points. Hop on a bus and head to nearby Arcalis for some fantastic off-piste and even a couloir or two.

Off the mountain, Arinsal is small and friendly with a good choice of restaurants, a few shops and several lively bars to choose from. There are also a smattering of late-night bars and discos for the night owls.

Our chalet board basis is designed for skiers and boarders. Breakfast is a fairly extensive affair with cooked and continental options every day. Your daily afternoon tea of freshly baked cakes and biscuits will be waiting for you when you come in from the slopes.

Evening meals are a three-course set-menu with regionally inspired dishes and served with complimentary wine, all followed by fresh coffee. We provide evening meals on six nights a week to leave you free to head out and explore the resort on one evening.

Don’t forget that you get free guiding and coaching throughout the week from fully qualified ski and board instructors with our Mountain Expert service.

Designed for confident blue and red-run skiers and snowboarders, they'll show you around the mountain on free guiding sessions, and even offer free coaching sessions to help you become a more confident skier or snowboarder.

There are at least three sessions a week and we guarantee each guest at least two sessions a week. Your hosts will explain how it works when you get there.
