    This past week I’ve been on the mountain every day, I’m absolutely loving it at the moment.... The weather has been glorious, lots of sunshine and a goggle tan is starting to appear, I’m thinking a higher factor is needed, not so sure about that look on a girl hehe!! First thing in the morning the runs are perfectly groomed and hard packed, within a few hours the runs have softened up nicely from the sun and warmer temperatures. I would suggest carrying a backpack, by the afternoon you need to l…

    What an AMAZINGGGGG day.... perfect weather clear clear blue sky, perhaps one cloud in the sky all day!! The slopes where awesome, beautifully groomed perfect for some nice fast craving turns. Only one complaint... lift lines, it was a bank holiday today in Spain/France and consequently the lift lines where considerably longer than normal. However after such a perfect day on the slopes, I’ve already forgotten about the queues. What queues.... my memory of today will be awesome slopes, amazing we…

  • Hi Tim, I’ve personally never stayed in the Sport Village, the reception is lovely, it always smells and looks amazing, each occasion Christmas, Valentine’s day etc they have various different themed decorations... very cool. You'll find it’s located perfectly next to the gondola and is linked to the Hermitage hotel and Spa, which has 5 floors of pure spa heaven... awesome for an evening after a full on day on the mountain. We would love to hear your thoughts after your visit, please do post us …

    It’s snowing across Grandavalira today, a great way for the Mountains to send their love to everyone on Valentine’s Day. Hope you all have a special day with loved ones enjoying the slopes. The slopes across Soldeu are looking good, they’ve been beautifully groomed overnight and the few centimetres of fresh snow would make for a great morning creating some lines. The past few days have been a little warmer and made the slopes a little icy in patches but the new snow is certainly helping.... Love…

    Hello, A new smoking ban has come into effect on the 2nd Jan in Spain unfortunately this does not yet apply to Andorra. However in 2010 there was talk of changing the smoking restrictions in restaurants, bars and work places but no new laws have come into effect. Smoking in Andorra is currently banned in government, educational and hospital buildings, enclosed sports facilities and buses, this has been in effect since 2004

    We woke to snow this morning and it’s continued to fall all day and it’s still snowing. We’ve had an awesome day skiing between Grau Roig and Soldeu. The runs where perfect, visibility varied throughout the morning, but we’re not complaining.... it’s snowing happy days. Reluctantly we came down around 1 o’clock this afternoon, enjoying around 7cm of fresh powder.... boo to work commitments hehe. Can’t wait to head back up first thing tomorrow.... fresh tracks woo hoo

  • Hi,,,, A high rise engagement sounds very romantic The mountain company Grandvalira actually offer helicopter sightseeing tours, alternatively they also do hot air balloon rides too. In Soldeu the prices for the helicopter are... - 10 mins = €70 - 15 mins = €100 - 20 mins = €130 It's normally only available on Thursdays in Soldeu, but you can request a different day if you like. Also, the minimum number of people is four, so if you wanted the helicopter just for yourselves you would need to pay …

  • The party is still going ahead and they are charging but I’m not too sure of the price and you will need to purchase tickets in advance, here’s Fat Alberts telephone number +376 851765. The following bars are not charging entry, The Aspen and The Harp. The later is an Irish owned and run bar, they will be playing live music and serving champagne, a guaranteed party atmosphere hehe. Grandvalira will be holding the torch lite mountain descent at 7. If you are thinking of heading to Arinsal, it tak…

    Hello Alison, Across the whole of Andorra children are required to be 10 years and older to participate in group snowboard lessons, this is because sometimes small children find it difficult to control a snowboard, therefore for safety reasons, and for the progression of the group, the snowboard school do not accept bookings for children under 10. Private lessons however would be an option, there is no age restriction and the two boys would be able to share the instructor. A minimum of 2 hours w…

  • Hi Sparky, Fat Alberts and Slim Jims are English run bars, they will be holding a New Years Eve party's. Last year's party was awesome, champagne and party bags, a huge success and they are thinking of arranging something similar this year. When you arrive you can pop into either, find out more details and pick up tickets. I've also heard on the grape vine that the mountain will be arranging a torch lit descent, which will be pretty cool. As and when things are confirmed we will post info on our…

  • Hi Paul, BB is right, about Novatel covering most local airports to Andorra. Due to your arrival time in Toulouse you would have to wait until 20:00 hours for your transfer as they only leave the airport twice a day, therefore a private transfer is your best option.
