as for the ski, the grandvalira. all the towns from encamp to pas de la casa are connected with lifts.
nightlife.. hmm... im afraid you r in the wrong country :-)

the best deals to hire boards or skis ( and yes you do have to rent separately) are on the small shops on the back streets. prices go higher as you approach the ticket office. look for small family owned rental shops and you´ll get a 15euro dealfor skis, boots and poles. on the station you ll pay 3 times that.

hi,

sure there will be snow :-)

first, you dont need a car in andorra. actually I strongly recommend you do not drive in andorra. the queues are horrible, the traffic impossible. public transport is pretty good and snow buses are free.
everything is walking distance in arinsal and to shop in adnorra la vella, Take The Bus!


second,
if you are brave enough to rent a car. you dont know need snow chains. why? because they have a very efficient system to clean the snow. if you do need chains, then you are in real trouble because no one is coming to get you any time soon.

I lived there 4 years, never used chains. wouldnt know how to put them on.

my advice, fly to barcelona, take the directbus (e25/pp)to andorra, move around walking, bus or taxi. you ll save yourself a lot of money and time

if you need any more info, just ask :-)

have fun
