Soldeu ski resort
Snow Range
1710-2640m
for its size, the GrandValira ski area is comparable to many resorts in the Alps
Set in the Andorran Pyrénées, Soldeu and El Tarter are part of the extensive GRANDVALIRA ski area. Both villages have superb ski schools, with instruction by native English speakers. Soldeu is renowned for its lively nightlife and has led the way in Andorra's transition from a budget to quality ski destination. El Tarter, while not as lively as neighbouring Soldeu is a superb village in its own right with its own choice of restaurants and bars. The fantastic modern lift system links both resorts to almost 200km of piste with a good choice for all abilities. Soldeu has everything you need for a fun-filled, great value ski holiday.
