Review Of Ski Resorts In Andorra

If you are looking for an exclusive skiing holiday you should try Andorra. This small principality is located in the Pyrenees between Spain and France. The small tax haven is a mix of valleys and mountains which is why it provides such good skiing. The ski resorts, such as Canillo & Soldeu or Arinsal & Pal, are excellent as they boast 200 km of slops, modern ski lifts, and loads of skiing tuition on offer. Over the last five years 50 million Euros have been invested in restaurants, ski-lifts, gondolas, and piste grooming machines.

If you don’t like skiing you can come here to shop till you drop. There are over 2000 shops, which equates to one for every 40 inhabitants. Andorra is not all about shopping and skiing. Once the snow has gone you can take one three roads out of town to be treated to some of the most dramatic scenery in the Pyrenees. Around Ordino there are great hikes for both the novice and the enthusiasts.
