Reasons to ski in Andorra
Why choose Andorra for your next ski holiday?
If you’re looking for a ski holiday destination that blends fantastic ski terrain but something a bit different from the big Alpine resorts, then Andorra is worth your attention.
Excellent value for money
With lower tax rates and duty-free shopping, your holiday budget can stretch further. Lift passes, accommodation, food and drink tend to cost less, which means you can make the most of skiing and having fun.
A large, linked ski area
The main ski domain in Andorra, Grandvalira, covers hundreds of kilometres of slopes across multiple sectors such as Soldeu and Pas de la Casa.
That means whether you’re a beginner on the nursery slopes, an intermediate looking to cruise, or more advanced wanting to explore, you’ll find terrain to suit you. Tree runs, open bowls, snow parks and more feature in the mix.
