Tour Of Andorra

In Andoora it is possible to ski a whole country.

Andorra's biggest ski region - Grandvalira - has 193km of skiing and snowboarding at altitudes of up to 2,560m among the mountains above a sequence of villages and towns stretching upwards along the valley from Encamp (1,300m), Canillo (1,500m), El Tarter (1,710m), Soldeu (1,800m) to Grau Roig (2,120m) with road tunnel through to Pas de la Casa (2,100m) on the far side of Coll Blanc and Port D'Envalira ridge.

 

Smaller, quieter and more picturesque is the smaller ski region of Vallnord with 89km of skiing and boarding 63km of it in the Pal-Arinsal ski sector rising from around 1,300m at La Massana or 1,475m from Arinsal up to 2,560m and a further 23km in the smaller and yet prettier Ordino-Arcalis rising from 1,940m to 2,625m.

 

The individual resorts have their own identities. Pas de la Casa on the French border is a brash party town, Soldeu is chic, Arinsal is still a village and very family friendly.
