Ski resorts in Andorra
Situated between France and Spain, the ski resorts in Andorra are nestled up in the Pyrenees. This small principality attracts a mainly young, lively crowd and as Andorran skiing holidays go - you certainly get the nightlife. The country 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 ski resorts in Andorra.
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 there.
Who will enjoy?
Andorran skiing 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 Andorra 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!
