As well as very good snow conditions and great pistes, Andorra's capital, Andorra La Vella is virtually tax-free, boasts over 2,000 high-class shops and has one of the largest spas in Europe. It's only a short bus ride from each of the resorts too.

All of this makes Andorra a great choice for pretty much everything – not only is it a great country for all levels of skier and snowboarder, it offers excellent value and superb nightlife. So if you haven't tried Andorra yet then now is the time.

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.
