The Hotel Del Clos is a fantastic example of what a ski hotel should be, that's why we chose it for our Neilson Mountain Collection. The wooden clad and carved walls invite you in and warm you up straight away. There's a tremendous feeling of space as the wide corridors guide you to the many chill-out areas. 

The bar and lounge area offer plenty of options to relax and refuel. They also become a real focal point during après-ski, as does the huge sun-terrace. It's definitely worth grabbing your drink and a seat to watch the sunset turn the slopes of El Tarter a delicious orange.

About the resort

El Tarter is part of the massive 210km Grandvalira ski area. The snow conditions are good throughout the season (obviously warmer in spring) but you'll often see amazing snow in Andorra when the rest of Europe is struggling.

It's also home to one of the best ski schools in Europe too. They'll transform nervous beginners into confident improvers in no time. The speedy and advanced can also choose from a range of classes and clinics to push skills to the limit.

Rest and relaxation

A large range of treatments is offered in our wellness area, such as sports, deep tissue and hot stone massage, Japanese Reiki, Indian head massage and beauty treatments using Temple Spa products. Please visit the hotel reception for information and prices. Take a look at the massage and beauty treatment menu for information and prices.

Food and drink

Our half board basis is designed for skiers and boarders. Breakfast is a fairly extensive affair with cooked and continental options every day. Your daily afternoon tea of freshly baked cakes and biscuits will be waiting for you when you come in from the slopes.

Evening meals consist of a three-course buffet of regionally inspired dishes all followed by fresh coffee. You can buy drinks to accompany your meal from the bar.

Rooms

All of the rooms in the Del Clos are really spacious with big, deep mattresses, flatscreen TVs and fully ensuite bathrooms with hairdryers so there's no need to pack your own. Most rooms have pretty impressive views out to the mountains views. Some also have a balcony or terrace to add to the experience.

Families and kids

Our youngest guests will be well catered for with our childcare and crèches taking care of kids from four months to 12 years old. For skiing kids, we offer a ski school drop-off and pick-up service, ensuring they're happy and settled. There's also evening care available on three evenings a week.

The hotel facilities include a games and TV room for all ages to spend some time with their new found friends. When conditions are right, there's a snow garden for younger guests to get creative and build up an appetite before high-tea at 5pm. 

Neilson Mountain Experts

Don’t forget that you get free guiding and coaching throughout the week from fully qualified ski and board instructors with our Mountain Expert service.

Designed for confident blue and red-run skiers and snowboarders, they'll show you around the mountain on free guiding sessions, and even offer free coaching sessions to help you become a more confident skier or snowboarder.
