Best Ski Resort for a week in Andorra?
Started by User in Andorra, 8 Replies
OK, I'm from Catalonia and I know pretty much a lot about Andorra, since I live nearby.

*Even tough there's a skipass for Grandvalira-Vallnord, it's only for locals.
*Driving from Alacant to Andorra is quite a trip, so in any case, just don't drive to-from Andorra during the weekend.. you'll save some time.
*There's no way you can be in a hotel right by the slopes and in a walking distance to Caldea. Caldea is located in Escaldes which is the main comercial area in Andorra, and is like 15min away by car to the closer slopes. In any case, the better hotel to stay at is Sport Hotel Village in Soldeu, since the gondolla is within its building.
*As for how long it takes to go across Andorra... it should be one hour at the most. Well, as long as there's no trafic.
*Between Grandvalia and Vallnord, I would pick Grandvalira, since you can ski the totall area just by taking a few chairlifts. On the other hand, Vallnord is quite cheaper.
