Skiing and Snowboarding

by maxine24

A great place to learn to Ski. the nursery slopes are fun and the groups are a great laugh. Its good for a return to continue your advance course. As we did 2 years on the trot. We stayed in Arinsal which is the better place as the snow doesnt get slushy there, and they have excellent Aprie Ski.Snow boarding is very popular there and they have there own snow boarding park, away from the skiiers so's to keep everyone happy.An altogether fun place to stay, for all ages. We hired our equipment there but its also cheap to buy there as its tax free.the equipment though is very good for both beginners and advance skiiers.

Beginners Snow Stuff

by waringa

Andora is a great, inexpensive place to try out a snow holiday - if you like it then great but if not then you haven't spent a fortune finding out!Any of the Andoran locations are pretty much typical of most European resorts, if a little smaller than some. Generally good cheap food and drink to be had in pretty locations.Soldeu & El Tarter are very pretty locations and a little quieter than their neighbor Pas de la Casa where the skiing is more varied but the landscape a bit like landing on the moon. If necessary you can kit yourself out with pretty much anything you will need when you are in the resort. Obviously the best idea is to rent equipment until you know if it is for you.

Skiing

by dlandt

Andorra, being up in the Pyrenees, has set itself up as a skiers mecca. Lookign up from any part of the town, you can see the lits, and in some cases, the skiers. We didn't ski, but it can't be hard to find. N/A

This is a great place to ski!

by wadekorzan

Many people ski the Alps, but why not consider Andorra? There are 5 major ski areas, which are all different and beautiful in their own unique way, and none of them are far away from each other. Better still is that there is something called the Ski Andorra Pass, which is valid at all 5 resorts. I highly recommend a visit to the website called Go Ski for detailed information about Andorra´s ski conditions and resorts. Click here to go there.

PAS DE LA CASA - GRAU ROIG

by trotador

I have never been in this station, but I can tell you few things as my friends sometimes go there.It is far away from Andorra la Vella. It is better to book a room in a hotel over there as the roads are not very good to drive up and down. The station is very high from 1950 meters to 2600 meters.For a relax time go ski there.

SOLDEU - EL TARTER

by trotador

Soldeu - el Tarter is the closest station to the Andorra la Vella, for that reason is the busiest station in this country.Rates are from 29Eur in low season to 31.50Eur in high season.The forfet is a "free hands ski-pass" which anybody can update on the Internet and in that way is not necesary to wait in line. But first you need to buy it. The system allows a easy and fast accesc to the installations.

PAL - ARINSAL

by trotador

Pal - Arinsal is the station I go more often. It is around 25 minutes from the capital. The forfets price are 28Eur in high season and 23Eur in low for one day one adult.I like the station because is not that busy as for example, Soldeu.There are different restaurants along the slopes. The station has renting store.

Linking Soldeu & Pas de la Casa

by sourbugger

Due to some kind of long-running fued you the two largest areas for skiing in Andorra are not linked. At one point they do however come very close and you can pass from one system to another.If you have bought the Skiandorra card then you can use both system in a day. It cost 121 Euro for 5 or 6 days last season.STOP PRESS 26/10/03 : Saw an annoucement today that the two companies have at last buried the hatchet and will marketa joint card in the new year. More details when I find them out.
