Why Andorra?

Andorra has long since shed its reputation for only being a ski resort that suitable for beginners or those on a budget. Huge investments have been made on the lift system and many hotels have gone more up market meaning that it now catered for a now very different type of skier than its past history would suggest.

Andorra’s share of the British market has suffered in recent years, it used to have a market share of around 14% but this is now around the 7% mark which is a shame as its largest ski area can certainly rival many top ski areas in Europe. We think that Andorra is definitely worth another look, don’t be fooled by its previous cheap and cheerful reputation, Andorra has come up in the world and so has its ski areas, don’t be a ski snob – give it a whirl!

Popular Andorran Ski Resorts

Grandvalira is by far and away the largest and most popular ski area in Andorra is the Grandvalira Super-ski area which consists Soldeu, El Tarter and Pas de la Casa giving a massive 210km of skiing. The area is an intermediates paradise with 62 blue runs, 31 reds and 25 black. The two linked resorts stand at 1800m and 2100m respectively – so boast the same height of their French counterparts. The skiing goes up to 2640m and is well-linked with dedicated children’s ski areas, 3 freestyle and boardercross parks. The resort’s host World cups and their ski school shave won numerous awards.

The highest, most snow-sure and most popular resort is Pas de la Casa which is certainly the liveliest resort in Andorra. The lift pass covers the entire area and gives quick fast access to the linked area and resorts of Soldeu, El Tarter and Grau Roig.

Arinsal is linked to Pal and is the smaller ski area in Andorra with 63km of pistes, there’s a freestyle park, excellent ski schools and good snow reliability with most runs above 1950m and is best suited for beginners and intermediate skiers.
