Accommodation is good, from the smart hotels near the gondola at the top of the village to more basic apartments down the road.The skiing itself is varied with some pleasant tree-lined runs down to the resort, and wide-open pistes higher up. There is an abundance of skiing for beginners and intermediates together with some reasonable challenges on and off-piste for experts. Indeed, due to the English-speaking ski school with it's many BASI trained instructors, Soldeu-El Tarter is an ideal place to learn to ski or snow-board or to improve your technique.
