La Massana is one of the seven parishes of the Principality of Andorra, where there are top-level sporting events in both winter and summer. The Pal Arinsal ski resort dressed up to host a new round of the Comapedrosa Andorra Ski Mountaineering World Cup. This is one of the most important sporting events in the country and is already consolidated in the international calendar.

The ski area has once again become the centre of attention worldwide. Skimo will be an Olympic sport at the Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics and the Andorran event was the first to open the door to qualification. The best athletes in this discipline did not want to miss this event, which this year had the novelty of the mixed relay race that replaced the vertical one.
