Planning a ski holiday to Andorra? Gaining insight from past visitors can help make your trip smoother, more enjoyable, and hassle-free. Using feedback from last season, we’ve compiled the top customer tips from Winter 2024/2025 to ensure you get the most out of your ski holiday with Andorra Resorts
The clear winner for our first top tip: Book a ski locker!
This is the most popular top tip from customers for Winter 2024/25—straight from those who experienced it firsthand, they say it best:
- Get lockers up top in the ski area. Makes it’s easier for getting up and down so you can head straight for a beer when you come off the Gondola 🍺; Tony, Dublin (Arinsal)
- The lockers were a great revelation when we go there so highly suggest purchasing one for the week. Saved so much hassle of taking our skis back and forth to our apartment – especially up the big hill as mentioned before!; Emily, Cardiff, (El Tarter).
- It is really worth paying for a locker at the top of the gondola to keep your ski gear in so you don’t have to cart it to and from your accommodation everyday: Gillian, France (Arinsal).
No Expectations
It’s natural to have expectations for your holiday—Will the snow be good? Do I still remember how to ski? What will the resort be like? Many of our customers last winter recommended letting go of expectations and simply enjoying the moment. You can’t control everything, so relax and make the most of your trip! Here’s what our customers had to say:
- Have fun. If you fall over, oh well get up and go again; Stephanie, Southport UK, (Arinsal).
- Just have fun; Mark, worthing UK, (Soldeu).
- Chill; Stuart, UK, (La Massana).
- Just come to Andorra and enjoy the skiing and this beautiful country 🙏🌷; Iryna, USA, (La Massana).
