With a reputation for attracting a younger, livelier crowd, a ski holiday in Andorra is best suited for beginners and intermediates that want a good time both on and off the slopes. With the added benefit of being a duty free state you can save on alcohol, cigarettes and designer clothes whilst there.
Skiing in Andorra is focused on three main areas, with a number of resorts within them. The three areas are located high in the Pyrenees, meaning some decent high-altitude skiing is to be had by those that take to the slopes in Andorra.
The resorts
Of the resorts in Andorra, there are three that offer a decent balance of runs for all types of skiing ability:
- Pas De La Casa
- Soldeu
- Arinsal
Pas De La Casa and Soldeu are both in the Grandvalira ski area, the largest such region in the Pyrenees. Beginners and intermediate skiers are well catered for at Pas De La Casa, which is based at the highest point on the Pyrenees and was the first of Andorra's ski resorts to be established.
Arinsal - in the Vallnord area - is a good location for advanced skiers, with a big freestyle area allowing developed skiers and snowboarders to make the most of their abilities.
What else there is to do
Andorra ski holidays are not all about skiing, with a number of other activities available. At Pas De La Casa, snowmobile riding and igloo building are options, while Arinsal offers helicopter flights to guests on an Andorra ski holiday.
After dark, there is plenty of après-ski entertainment for the winter sport-loving visitors. In Soldeu, for example, there are the bars and clubs Aspen, Avalanche, Esqui Pub, Iceberg and Fat Albert's. Pas De La Casa is also a great nightlife spot.
