Spectacular scenery, large resorts with many lifts and slopes, and the longest toboggan ride in the world are just a few things that come to mind when thinking about skiing in Andorra. The Principality of Andorra is located in Southwestern Europe, wedged between the borders of France and Spain. This tiny country (only 468 square km) offers some excellent skiing and snowboarding, mainly for the beginner and intermediate levels, but more advanced skiers can always go off-piste when looking for more challenging terrain. |

Andorra’s low prices and tax-free shopping make it a great value holiday destination, especially for families and large groups. The official ski season runs from December to March, but some of the resorts manage to prolong the season with their snowmaking machines. The ski schools, where fluent English is spoken, are well-known for their quality instruction and beginners are definitely of to a great start in Andorra. Recent investments in snowmaking machines, lifts, and pistes have helped put Andorra firmly on the international skiing map. A wide range of accommodation is available, including chalets, apartments, and 2-, 3-, and 4-star hotels. The nightlife is thriving with many restaurants, clubs and bars.
