Ski Breaks in Andorra

Andorra may be a tiny Pyrenean Principality with a terrible football team but it’s punches above its’ weight when it comes to ski resorts.

A relative newcomer to the ski market it commands a high position with Brits looking to ski on a budget. The resort charm isn’t exactly oozing but this is more than made up for with its’ duty free status and cheap prices.

New lift links have married the once feuding resorts of Pas de la Casa and Soldeu to form the impressively sized Grandvalira with over 195kms of piste. Arinsal, La Massana, Pal, El Tarter all have their appeal as modern ski resorts. 

All of the skiing in Andorra is at high altitude and the season is still pretty strong from December, right through to Easter and often beyond. Most of the skiing is suited to beginners and intermediates but pockets of off-piste and a smattering of black runs can be found for the more expert winter sports enthusiasts.  

There exists a range of accommodation in Andorra with many of the French styled self -catering apartments being favoured owing to the inexpense of shopping and eating out in this tax haven. Hotels range from two stars to four stars with very impressive facilities at a fraction of the cost of the French resorts. There are also a handful of catered ski chalets dotted around Andorra. 

The cuisine takes on a truly international flair with a mixture of the French, Spanish and Catalan dishes being served - seafood being widely available. 

The après ski in Andorra is legendary with Pas de la casa being a trailblazer for out and out drinking into the small hours. Bars, pubs and clubs dominate with an atmosphere similar to many Mediterranean beach resorts. For those of you looking to escape that then head for the quieter areas of the more upmarket hotels where this will not be an issue. Overall skiing in Andorra takes a little bit more of a laid back approach with many of the late night revellers not surfacing until mid morning – whish is ideal for those early bird  powder-hounds!
