You may think nothing of booking a DIY summer holiday, with EasyJet or Ryanair flights to Spain, and a cheap apartment by the beach, but when it comes to ski holidays many people used to be apprehensive – not any more! Here at Andorra Resorts we specialise in helping visitors plan and book their own DIY ski holiday to Andorra – our team in Andorra get on the slopes regularly to keep you up-to-date with snow conditions, and our websites have all the information you need to create your own trip.
In the seven years we’ve been organising ski holidays we’ve seen a huge increase in the popularity of booking independently – we try to make it as easy as possible, bringing together all the information you need. Not only is it much more flexible to suit your needs, but it can be more convenient flying at a time that suits you, and it can also be much cheaper, especially during peak holiday weeks.
We arrange as much or as little of the holiday as you need, so whether you need to book everything or just your lift pass we’ll be able to assist. Here’s our handy guide to putting everything together for your perfect trip! (more…)
The past 36 hours have seen huge snowfall across Andorra with around 50cm at resort level and up to 100cm on the slopes. This evening the snow continues to fall, and with temperatures set to fall as low as -21 celcius on Monday it looks like it’s going to be a great start to the New Year, albeit a little chilly!
There has been some disruption to travel with access to Andorra via the French border being closed today, however the snowploughs have been out in force making sure the roads are in a good condition for the influx of tourists heading to Andorra for New Year. (more…)

Not sure where to go for your family holiday this Easter?
Have you seen the fantastic snow conditions in Andorra but didn’t think you could make it this season?
Especially for families, we’ve got a fantastic offer in Pas de la Casa and Soldeu for April – your children can ski for free! When you book your adult lift pass you’ll get a children’s lift pass for free, and when you book your adult skis & boots we’ll give you a set of children’s skis & boots for free too!
Andorra is famous for warm sunshine in April, and it’s normally a time for super spring skiing on the slopes followed by enjoying sunbathing on the terraces afterwards. This offer just means that a ski trip is much more affordable for families, and if you want to book your children into ski school then the schools are still open as usual right until the end of season.

After a fantastic start to December the snow seemed to have a holiday for a couple of weeks but came back with a vengeance for January, delivery epic snow conditions which are the best for several years! Over one three day period the Arcalis sector of Vallnord received 2.5 metres, with all resorts getting well over a metre!
The snow hasn’t let up yet either, with almost daily snowfall adding to the perfect conditions with the occasional break of bright blue skies and sunshine offering some of the best powder skiing available. The coming week’s forecast also offers plenty of new snow but also some clear days which should mean awesome powder fun and great weather for apres ski on the sun terraces.
If you haven’t booked your ski holiday yet this year then you should think about visiting Andorra to experience the conditions for yourself! To find out more visit the ski holidays section of our website.
