Iglu Hotel, Grau Roig

When you think of your typical ski holiday, you don’t tend to think that you can stay in an igloo sculpted from ice… but in Grau Roig in the Grandvalira ski area you can do exactly that!  Towards the end of last winter Sofia and Ella from the Andorra Resorts team were lucky enough to experience this for themselves with a visit to the Iglu Hotel.

Andorra Now Open

Snowy ski slopes

Recent heavy snowfall means Andorra has been able to get ready to open over the past few days, and today the slopes are now open!! It’s the moment we’ve been eagerly anticipating since April, but today slopes have opened in the Arcalis sector of Vallnord, then over in Grandvalira the sectors of Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig and Soldeu have slopes open (although not yet linked together).

More snow is on the forecast in the coming days so the technical teams will work hard to open as many slopes as possible as soon as they can.
