Porte des Neiges, in France will also join the resort, Grandvalira. Nowadays, there are 7 areas of skiing in the same resort. Despite a fair number of new building projects, Grandvalira-Soldeu (Soldeu- El Tarter) retains a good village atmosphere with several excellent watering holes for apres-ski and a good selection of restaurants (and as Andorra is a duty fee zone prices are very reasonable for a ski resort!). Accommodation is good at Grandvalira-Soldeu, 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. Grandvalira-Soldeu has 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, Grandvalira-Soldeu (Soldeu-El Tarter) is an ideal place to learn to ski or snow-board or to improve your technique.

Visitor Reviews of Grandvalira-Soldeu


phil from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

The skiing is well described elsewhere, although there are shallow areas where poling or "skating" are required. Tiring for skiers, a total pain for boarders.
However, I am surprised that everyone rates eating out as "cheap" in Andorra and I wonder if these comments are out of date. It's about the same as the UK, which isn't cheap in my view, although it may be compared to other European ski resorts. On mountain is more expensive and a light cooked lunch can cost as much as an evening meal.
Also, I think the increased publicity and constant building works are making the resort busier. Last year the same week was queue free - this year there were times with longish queues. I think the last five years in Andorra will have been the glory days and that the next five will see it ape the Alps, becoming busy and expensive. Shame because it really is an intermediate paradise otherwise.
I can only compare the ski school with Mammoth USA, but of 3 instructors only 1 we felt was very good, the other 2 being just OK.
