As we come to the end of 2023 we thought we’d look back over the last year’s customer questionnaires to pass on some of your top tips for making the most of your ski holidays to Andorra. As experts in Andorra ourselves, we love to pass on our knowledge and experience, however we always enjoy hearing directly from customers what you have particularly enjoyed.
So, have a read through the top tips of 2023 from our surveys, and if you’re on holiday with Andorra Resorts this winter, please look out for your own questionnaire when you return home so that we can see what you’ve loved this winter!
What did you like best about the ski area, and why?
Arinsal
The ease of access to beginner slopes for my kids to take their first ski holiday.
Ross – Palma de Mallorca, Spain
It’s great for learners, developing skills.
Colin – El Perello, Spain
Well groomed slopes with snow canon top up, mostly chair lifts so could avoid drag lifts.
Vicky – Bude, UK
I like that Arinsal is small enough to let my children go (as I’m too slow for them) but that we also have the option of Pal for a bit more exploring.
Tanya – Staines, UK
Soldeu & El Tarter
It is large in size and the connecting chairlifts really link all the ski areas together.
John – London, UK
Range of slopes for all levels, fast lifts, small queues given it was half term.
Joanna – Solihull, UK
Well groomed pistes, excellent ski school, brilliant for learners and intermediates, lots of varied skiing.
David – Wales
Loved the choice of runs and super friendly instructors for my 7 year old learning to snowboard.
Clare – Javea, Spain
Pas de la Casa
Big area, nice runs and good places to stop eat and drink.

I like the range in difficulty of ski runs. My group had a range of different abilities and there was something for everyone.

Vast, wide, accessible slopes and dramatic hills.

And here are some general top tips we thought were great as well…
Pick up your ski passes and gear the day before you start if possible – saves you a lot of time waiting in line.
Sofia – Lisbon, Portugal
We hired a car which made travelling to the different resorts very easy and fast.

Don’t underestimate how long it takes to ski back to El Tarter from Grau Roig/Pas de la Casa
Joanna – Solihull, UK

Afternoon ski lessons for beginners. Everyone rushes for morning lessons but we found the afternoon worked better for our kids to learn as they were often tired in the am so we could let them sleep in.
