Mas de Ribafeta is a peaceful residential development located in the parish of La Massana in northwestern Andorra. It is situated at a significant altitude of approximately 1,500 meters, clinging to the steep slopes overlooking the village of Arinsal. This elevated position features striking panoramic views of the entire Arinsal valley and the surrounding Pyrenean peaks. The settlement features a mix of modern apartments and traditional chalets, all designed to blend into the rugged alpine landscape. Historically, this area was used as high-altitude grazing land for La Massana before its development for tourism and housing in the late 20th century. Due to its elevation, Mas de Ribafeta is frequently snow-covered in winter and provides direct access to summer hiking trails leading to the Comapedrosa Natural Park. The tranquility of the area makes it a highly desirable residential spot away from the busier resort center of Arinsal. Access is provided by the CS-410 road, connecting residents to the main facilities of the parish within minutes.
