Located between France and Spain, ski Andorra and the Pyrenees and you will learn to love the Andorran ski resorts as well as the skiing and snowboarding on offer on the slopes.
When you ski Andorra, you will find this small principality attracts a mainly young, lively crowd and with almost all Andorran ski resorts, you certainly get the nightlife. If you want to try skiing in Andorra you don't have to be young - in fact Andorra is trying to shake off its reputation as a boozy destination for party-loving skiers and boarders, but so far this has had little effect on the Andorran ski resorts.
The official language is Catalan, with many Andorrans also speaking Spanish or French. English is widely spoken, so you should have no problems making yourself understood while you are skiing and snowboarding here.
Who will enjoy?
Andorran ski resort holidays are ideal for beginners and intermediates who are looking for fun on and off the slopes. There are three main ski areas, with very good ski schools, modern and efficient lift systems and fairly reliable snow. If you are still at the learning stage, you will be thankful that the mountains don't present too much of a challenge. The ski areas are not huge, but if you are a novice or still have a hangover from the night before, this doesn't really matter.
How many destinations?
There are five Andorran ski resorts, all situated close together. This means that if you get bored with one, you can simply move on. The resorts are situated high in the Pyrenees, so there is some decent high-altitude skiing for those who want it. Soldeu is the largest of these resorts and is now linked by lifts to Pas de la Casa.
Accommodation
The downside of a skiing holiday in Andorra is that the accommodation tends to be quite basic, the villages are not particularly charming and some of the mountain restaurants are awful. However, if you are new to skiing or boarding and looking for a cheap, fun filled holiday with plenty of nightlife and tax-free shopping, then Andorra is the perfect destination. Just remember to leave your mum and dad at home!
