There is a good beginner zone located as Les Planelles, just above the base and a great summit to base green run – the Megaverda – which covers 8.5km. La Font and Les Canales are two nice, tree-lined blue runs and there is a good selection of intermediate cruising off Les Portelles.
For advanced and expert skiers, the ski area is arguably the best in Andorra. It is no surprise that the Freeride World Tour drops by each winter. Three marked freeride zones are found on the piste map, but with a short hike or skitour, a vast array of options quickly opens up – and owing to the altitude and northerly orientation, snow conditions are usually very good.
There is only a daylodge on the hill, meaning you’ll have to stay elsewhere.
Having a car really helps here, as the bus service linking the resort to the valley is unfortunately quite infrequent. We’d recommend basing yourself at the resort of Pal/Arinsal as not only is it covered on the same lift pass (if you purchase a season pass or a ‘Ski the North’ pass), but you can also take advantage of the 63km of linked slopes there.
Alternatively, accommodation is available in the town of Ordino, or also along the valley between the town and the ski area – but again if you do this having your own car would make a massive difference.
Toulouse airport to the north and Barcelona airport to the south are the nearest to Andorra, both of which lie around three hours away. Hiring a car is the best option.

A cool end of the week brings snow overnight Friday, but the weekend will turn slightly warmer with partly cloudy skies and some sun. Heading into next week, there will be the occasional flurry of snow on the higher pistes, with about 5cm of snow expected Monday within the day in Soldeu-Grandvalira. There will be periods of light to moderate snow overnight during the week and a south westerly wind will pick up to gusts of 18mph, and up to 28mph overnight.
The high pressure continues with spring like conditions.
