Andorra Ski Holidays

Looking for a ski holiday destination that's a little out of the ordinary? Look no further than Andorra, the tiny principality between France and Spain. Andorra's location in the eastern Pyrenees Mountains makes it a wonderful vacation spot for those looking for a fun, European ski holiday. In fact, Andorra depends on tourists, including skiers. Eighty percent of its gross domestic product comes from tourism pounds. And when a country depends on tourist pounds, they're going to go all out to cater to those tourists.

Andorra Ski Resorts

Enormous investment has been made in developing Andorra's ski resorts. The ski circuit of Granvalira, which includes the Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, El Tarter and Soldeu, is a fantastic place to go for a ski holiday. The area has 193km (or more than 119 miles) of ski runs. The Vallnord ski area is located on the opposite side of Andorra and is comprised of the Arinsal and Pal resorts. It's not as extensive as Granvalira, but those on ski holidays still can spend at least a week enjoying the pristine alpine air and zipping through the powder. If you're more into cross-country skiing rather than downhill or you're a fan of snowshoeing, you might want to plan your ski holiday in Andorra's La Rabassa area.

Apres Ski

Andorra's ski resorts have something for everyone. Beginner, intermediate and advanced runs are available. Whether you're a beginning or able to fly down the mountain like a pro, you'll be satisfied with your ski holiday. Other attractions at the resorts include restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and even transportation to Andorra la Vella for the shopaholics in your party. And the resorts also have the benefit of English speakers on staff, so don't worry about communication.

A ski holiday in Andorra benefits from the rugged mountains and the high altitude, which means more snowfall. More snowfall means more opportunities for some skiing fun. Combine this with the fact that Andorra has duty-free shopping, and it's no wonder 9 million tourists visit this country of 68,000 residents annually.

And at the end of the day when you're tired from all that activity out in the cold? Curl up next to a roaring fire in one of the resorts' mountain chalets. Could there be anything more romantic?
