Andorra has changed and we like what they have done.
Andorra school ski trips have changed. For many years it was seen a less distinguished relative of the Alpine regions but after a €112 million facelift it’s not anymore! In fact it is the perfect destination for school ski trips.
Nestled in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, and taking influences from both, Andorra is in a privileged spot. Despite its diminutive size, as far as the skiing in Andorra is concerned it packs a big punch.
Grandvalira, which includes Soldeu and Pas de la Casa has over 200kms of piste across 112 lifts. And it is across these slopes that the huge investment can be felt with new chairlifts, gondolas and mountain restaurants.
Well, if you didn’t already know Andorra has tax free shopping…bonus! If you do get some free time to grab a moment to yourself there is the Caldea Spa which is well worth a visit and can iron out a few of the knots from a hard day on the slopes.
So what is the skiing like in Andorra?
For beginners and less confident skiers, and boarders, there are long sweeping slopes with plenty of blue runs. The intermediate areas are extensive but are more of a challenge and of course there is plenty of room to keep thrill seeking experts amused. The split is;
The largest skiable area in the Pyrenees, the Grandvalira has over 200km of piste and possibly the longest season in Europe. The state of the art infrastructure, peerless snow record and the top class ski instruction make this a stand out destination. The modern lift system means transfers skiers up the mountain so efficiently that queues never seem to form, even during peak periods.
