Using mobile data in Andorra

Nowadays we are fully connected and there is hardly a second that we are separated from our phones, not even when sleeping. Therefore, when we head to the mountain, apart from taking our goggles, gloves and helmet, there is a must, the mobile phone! It could be uncomfortable, but everyone is skiing with their phone in their pocket, either for security reasons, to contact friends or just to take a snowy selfie. Technology is a major part of our lives, but without a doubt, the mobile is the winner, that’s why apps have been gaining importance day by day (supposedly) making life easier.

If you are going on a ski holiday this season, these are the apps you should have on your phone to help you enjoy the snow to the fullest!

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.
