Andorra’s Slopes Over 90% Open For First Time This Season
Login
Snow is continuing to fall in the Pyrenees with some resorts now reporting that they've had more than two metres of snowfall in the last three weeks, having received less than that in total through the previous first three months of the season.
As a result, ski areas are finally opening most of their terrain, having previously been limited by lack of snow cover and temperatures often too warm for snowmaking.
The region's biggest ski area, Andorra's Grandvalira, which includes the resorts of Pas de la Casa and Soldeu El Tarter, is more than 90% open for the first time this season, having reached 199km of its 215km of slopes open this weekend. There are 73 or 74 lifts also currently operational.
The area is due to be open for five more weeks, with the Arcalis freeride area announcing it will stay open an extra week to April 14th thanks to the recent snowfall.
The snowfall is expected to ease over the next few days with more usual springlike conditions from the middle of this coming week.
