Shared or private to Arinsal?
How to weigh it up:
- Couple or solo skier on a budget? A shared shuttle from Barcelona or Toulouse is the cheapest way to Arinsal.
- Family or group with luggage and boards? A private vehicle is priced per vehicle and keeps the party together for the four-hour run.
- Landing at an awkward hour? Private transfers leave when you're ready rather than to a fixed timetable.
- Flying into Girona? It is private transfer only, so book a vehicle for your group.
- Arinsal is a longer drive than the Grandvalira resorts, so a comfortable private vehicle can be worth it for bigger groups.
