On the slopes
Ski Ordino and you'll be high up in the Andorran Pyrenees. Due to the location and altitude - the ski area lies between 1,940 and 2,620m - the snow is good. You'll find 24kms of slopes that are pretty even divided up for ability. Although for experts it's a little short on challenging pistes. The longest run is a healthy two kilometres, and there's also 12kms of cross-country trails.
Ski area :
If you ski Ordino, you are also in the ski region of Vallnord along with the following resorts; Arcalis, Arinsal, La Massana, Ordino, Pal - Arinsal
.
Off the slopes
Although El Serrat is closer to the slopes, Ordino ski resort is a charming village with a range of hotels. There's much more, though, including plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants proving good food and a lively après-ski scene. You'll also find some of Andorra's famous duty-free shops and sports outlets. Other activities on offer snowboarding, mono-skiing and heli-skiing. For a really lively après-ski scene - not to mention incredible shopping - head to the capital, Andorra La Vella.
WE LIKE
- Great slopes for beginners and intermediates - experts also have off piste
- Ultra modern lift network and new resort which has advantages
- High altitudes means great snow throughout season and early/late snow too

WE DON'T LIKE
- Little challenging pistes for experts - but loads of good off piste
- If the weather's right, weekends can become really busy with locals
