Andorra – it is really surprising and dream-land. Who once opened it will certainly back here again. And will never change this little charming principality to other resorts. Andorra is an ideal place both for extreme and for family vacation.
Sports
In the beginning there were 5 mountain-skier stations in Andorra: Pal, Arinsal, Soldeu-el Tarter, Ordino-arcalis, and Pas de la Casa-grau Roig.
After the whole wave of associations, in fact, 2 stations became: GRANDVALIRA, which include in itself the stations of Soldeu-el Tarter and Pas de la Casa-grau Roig; and VALLNORD, consist of Pal-arinsal and Ordino-arcalis .
If you want to see and test as many as possible, to ski on all stations of Andorra, we offer you to take advantage of the special general ski-pass of “Super Ski-pass”. Routes, by the general extent of a 281 km, to the different category of complication, will satisfy the queries of skiers of all levels, and 105 lifts are able to deliver on tops 142 245 persons in an hour. New routes and lifts appear here every year. You can not only skiing but also visit an ice palace of Palau de Gel in Canillo, where you can go skating.
For beginners and early intermediates Andorra is an excellent choice. The ski schools are good, the lift systems are modern and efficient, and the snow is pretty reliable. English is widely spoken; prices are low; and lessons are fun. Class sizes can, however, be large in peak season. There is a ski kindergarten and a non-skiing crèche for younger children.
Snowboard – probably, the most fast developing winter type of sport. There is all needed for teaching and rolling on snowboard in Andorra. This sport is accessible not only for «new generation» but for all ages. The special routes, springboards, chamfers of half-pipe are prepared on all stations of Andorra.
