The Skiers' Guide to Grandvalira: Soldeu

We absolutely love Andorra. We have visited various areas of the mountain but Soldeu is our favourite resort. Ski school is amazing, slopes are fantastic for all level. And its such good value

Proper top stuff really. Had never been skiing before but the hotel I stayed at was a door down from the lift which rarely had a queue or breakdown. The skiing itself was class although it had been very cold so was quite icy for a beginner. The ski school was great to help learn more.

Ski in to the hotel and spa. Amazing. Thick powder to your knees, all you can ask for really. Loads of lifts

I really enjoyed my time here is a great little village if your not looking to completly party like pas de la casa its a bit more chilled out and I like that about it.

Excellent snow this year made it beautiful skiing for intermediate skiers happy on red and blue pistes. We found it easy to navigate and lots of runs to explore. Some lifts were bottlenecks and had queues but most of the time we had no wait (this wasn't a busy/half term week). Top tip to make use of the single rider queues if happy to travel on the busiest lifts separate to your ski buddies)

great hotel - stayed at Himalaia Soldeu Hotel for 2nd year running and was very looked after by the team at https://andorratravelservice.com/

Soldeu has been great for both me and my wife to develop our skiing. There are plenty of nice gentle, wide slopes for beginners and enough challenging slopes to test the more advanced skiers.

I recently returned from a skiing trip to Andorra, splitting my time between Soldeu and Pas de la Casa, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for world-class skiing without the "Alps price tag," this is the place to be.
The Grandvalira circuit is massive. Soldeu offered some of the most beautiful, tree-lined runs I’ve ever skied, with perfectly groomed pistes that are a dream for intermediates. When I wanted something a bit more high-altitude and lively, Pas de la Casa delivered in spades. The lift system is modern, fast, and remarkably efficient.
What sets Andorra apart is the atmosphere. There is a distinct, infectious Spanish energy here. The après-ski is vibrant but feels more authentic and welcoming than many of the more "exclusive" European resorts. Think sunny terraces, incredible tapas on the mountain, and a "work hard, play hard" spirit that keeps the energy high all week.
Unbeatable Value
The biggest takeaway for me was the value for money. From duty-free shopping to the cost of a beer or a mountain lunch, your money goes significantly further here than in France or Switzerland. You’re getting "A-list" snow conditions and infrastructure for a fraction of the cost.
Bottom line: If you want great snow, a sun-soaked Spanish vibe, and a bank account that doesn't hate you when you get home, get yourself to Soldeu and Pas de la Casa. I’ll definitely be back

Been twice to soldeu. It’s a great location for beginners and intermediate skiers. More grown up and quieter than pas de la casa but still has great apres. Hotels are really close to the gondola and it’s easy to navigate your way around the mountains

The Grandvillaria resort in Andorra offers challenges for all skiing and snowboarding abilities. When the snow is good there are well over 180km of runs! Rolling reds and blues. Challenging blacks. There is a huge variety.

Accessing the slopes from the main towns is fast and efficient thanks to the gondola and chairlift options. Yes, they could be more modern, but they are good enough.

Food options on the mountain are good. Again, lots of options. We usually do a “two-stop” routine to beat the lunchtime rush. Coffee and cake late morning and then lunch after the rush! Usually works out quite well!

All in all, it’s a great resort. There is enough to keep me coming back year after year. Can’t wait for 2027!

Great resort for all ages and families. Top class ski school. Great for all ski levels. The slopes are really well looked after and maintained

The ski resort was quite large for a budget place. Beer and food was really cheap and there was a great local bar which we visited every night. Couple of the group were first-time skiers and said that the teachers forced a real feeling of bonhomie. Was quite jealous to be honest!

Soldeu an excellent resort with well-maintained pistes for intermediates. I also appreciated heated ski-lockers near the main tele-cabine.

Great resort and my 2nd time there. New to skiing and it was my 2nd season, the school was good and opted for private lessons for my 2nd year and my improvement was awesome and down to the great instructors. Stayed next to the gondola station and most hotels are a short walk to it. The igloo is good but from videos that I’ve seen lacks the real French apres vibe and crowds. Good restaurants and bars on the high street and had cracking nights out. Including an all you can eat at Fat Albert’s, but reserve quick when you arrive. Would go back but trying France this year for the apres.

This is a family friendly resort, so a little bit quieter on and evening, however enough bars and restaurants to choose from. There are loads of blue and red runs, and the slopes aren’t overcrowded. Really enjoyed my time here!

Was there for a week, snow was quite nice all week especially when it snowed. there was alot of off piste opportunities and there was endless runs in the resort as a whole.

Excellent resort for groups
Reasonable apres & accom options a little cheaper than pas de la Cas and good range access as you can go left & right across the valley.

Great ski resort, situated right in the centre of the whole grandvalira ski area! Small quantity of pubs and restaurants but all great quality! Good value for money, had the most amazing trip!

Love Soldeu! Plenty of big wide runs, most of the reds are more like blues as they are so wide but lovely!! Can't reccomened the place more!

Great family resort, the weather in April was fab - sunny, and plenty of snow. Slightly icy first thing in the morning and slightly slushy after 2pm, but long sunny days were worth the trade off!
