Andorra Skiing Holidays & Ski Resort Deals

More than just skiing

As well as outstanding pistes and excellent snow conditions, our resorts are only a short bus ride from Andorra La Vella, the capital of Andorra. Virtually tax free, it boasts over 2000 luxury shops and one of the largest spas in Europe.

Not only is Andorra a great country for skiers and snowboarders of all levels, it also offers excellent value and a superb nightlife. So what are you waiting for? It’s probably about time you gave Andorra a go.

Skiing in Andorra

Two ski areas straddle the peaks in Andorra, the 210km Grandvalira area and the 63km Vallnord region.

With 100 runs of powdery piste in Grandvalira alone, skiers of all abilities are well catered for. 23 black runs, 40 blue runs and 37 red runs make up the 210km slopes of Grandvalira.

Pas de la Casa takes the mantle for the country's highest resort sitting at 2,100m. Despite the dizzying heights, there are plenty of gentle slopes for beginners to learn the ropes on, while more experienced skiers can take on some of the more challenging runs or the 30km of cross country trails.

Andorra ski season

Andorra’s ski season typically runs from December to April. Thanks to recent investment, over 1,000 snow cannons now keep around 65% of the Grandvalira area snow covered throughout the season. For the freshest snowfalls, the altitude of the slopes of Pas de la Casa ensure consistent snowfall throughout the season.

Nearby Arinsal also benefits from good snow reliability on the 63km of tree-lined slopes that cover the Vallnord region. The altitude and plenty of snow cannons ensure you’re almost guaranteed snow on 28km of their slopes.

Après-ski in Andorra

All of the Grandvalira and Vallnord ski areas come with an après ski scene as lively or laid-back as you want them to be. For the biggest choice though, Pas de la Casa is hard to beat. Over 30 bars and 60 restaurants cater to a wide range of winter holidaymakers.

Choose from a leisurely meal by a roaring log fire or join the party scene and keep the adrenaline rush from the day going late into the night. Happy hours typically start once the lifts close and Soldeu and El Tarter run a ski bus until 10pm.

Family ski holidays in Andorra

Andorra’s slopes are a great place to take beginners and kids on family ski trips. One of Europe’s best ski schools is based in Soldeu and El Tarter, and in nearby Arinsal you’ll find an on-the-mountain creche with slopeside childcare facilities. These are just some of the reasons why Andorra makes a superb base for family ski holidays.

There’s loads to keep the kids busy, both on and off the slopes. With a vibrant après scene and family -friendly activities, Arinsal strikes the perfect balance for family trips away. Guests staying in El Tarter can take advantage of our excellent kids’ clubs based at the Neilson Hotel del Clos.

Couples ski holidays in Andorra

When it comes to couples’ ski holidays there’s an Andorran ski region to suit every type of winter sports duo. If you like to get competitive on the slopes or simply enjoy the snow-capped views from a cosy fireside, we think Andorra has the ideal mix of romantic settings and powder-perfect pistes.

Pas de la Casa puts you at the heart of both the 210km Grandvalira ski area and Andorra’s legendary nightlife scene. High octane thrills are never far away, and you can’t go wrong with a trip to Pas de la Casa’s snow park to watch the experts take on the halfpipe.

For a couples’ ski holiday with a more laid back feel, El Tarter blends modern facilities with traditional ski style. A handful of bars and restaurants cater for couples looking to share a romantic meal. For cocktails, our Neilson Hotel Del Clos bar has a small but tempting menu to choose from.

Eating like a local

Being so close to Spain, Andorran cuisine is very similar with plenty of tapas; smaller dishes which are perfect for sharing. Meals in Andorra are meant to be savoured, so be ready for some laid-back lunches!

Popular ingredients include meats, potatoes and fish, all accompanied with plenty of fresh veggies and salads. The national dish is Escudella, a one-pot meal of chicken, pork, potatoes, pasta, rice, beans and veggies. The perfect kind of food to fuel your days on the mountain.
