Why Choose Grandvalira
If you’re looking for the best ski resort in Andorra then many would argue the case for one of the villages in Grandvalira. The two main villages/towns, from a UK holidaymaker point of view, are Soldeu and Pas de la Casa, and whilst geographically close they are very different choices.
Soldeu is in the heart of the ski area and boasts some great hotels, such as the 5* luxury Hotel Sport Hermitage & Spa, which is all-suite accommodation with stunning mountain views, and the fully renovated Park Piolets just on the edge of the village. Apres ski in Soldeu is good fun and family friendly, with quite a few options for live music too.
If you’re looking for somewhere more lively then take a look at Pas de la Casa, at the French end of Grandvalira. Home to a large number of shops, bars and restaurants due to the duty-free arrangements in Andorra, Pas de la Casa attracts lots of day-trippers from France as well as those staying for longer breaks to enjoy the skiing and snowboarding.
