As part of the Grandvalira ski area, skiers and snowboarders visiting Soldeu have access to 210km of linked slopes and 62 lifts.

The area is best suited to beginner and intermediate skiers, but there are some good challenges for more advanced skiers, as well as some very accessible off piste. Yes, the vertical isn’t quite the same as in the Alps but runs dropping over 500m are commonplace. The town itself is not that attractive but is very functional and its location at the heart of the Grandvalira ski area makes it the ideal base. New buildings have consistently sprung up, as have new restaurants and bars, giving the resort a good buzz. It is certainly less rowdy than neighbouring Pas de la Casa however, making this a more attractive location for a family holiday.

Pros and cons

Large Grandvalira area rivals serious Alpine resorts in terms of size
Excellent beginner and early intermediate terrain
Easy access to all sectors of the linked ski area
Good buzz around town

Village is spread along a busy through-road
Slopes can get crowded during the holidays
Limited options for advanced skiers unless there has been fresh snow
Not much to do off the slopes

Skiing and Snowboarding

Two fast lifts – a gondola and a fast six-pack – whisk you up to Espiolets, from which the entire Grandvalira area awaits. A network of mostly blue and red runs links up with the slopes above El Tarter to the west and Pas de la Casa to the east. Almost every run is over 2000m and a good proportion are covered by snowmaking, making this a snowsure bet for your winter holiday.

For Beginners

Soldeu is a good place to start, especially as the ski school has an excellent reputation. The nursery area is very good but note that it is up at Espiolets so must be reached by the gondola, the same lift that early learners will want to download on at the end of the day. From this point on, however, and with almost half of the runs in the ski area rated as blue, the progression opportunities are very good.

For Intermediates

There is plenty to keep all but the keenest intermediates happy. Trips to either end of the Grandvalira area – to Pas de la Casa at one and El Tarter at the other – are in the reach of all intermediates and are certainly recommended. We would also suggest taking on the Rossinyol blue run along towards the Canillo access lift for its views and a sense of peace and quiet.

For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste

Unless there is fresh snow there are limited options for advanced level skiers, but when there is powder a lot of the terrain is ski-anywhere. Note that many of the blacks marked on the map are quite flattering and would perhaps be rated red elsewhere.

Soldeu Resort

The town is growing and there is really good selection of accommodation, a lot of which is in easy reach of the lifts. Unfortunately it is not traffic-free so the busy main road may put off families from staying on it, but quieter spots can be found extremely nearby.

For Families

Most of the activities and care for children are located up the mountain at the top of the gondola at Espiolets. The facilities up there are great, but it does mean that there is not as much to do in town. Staying in one of the bigger hotels with a pool is therefore the best bet if you’re looking for off-snow activities.

For Après

Lots of the bars in town have live music or DJs and some of our favourites include the Aspen, Fat Albert’s and the Villager. If you really want to party then end your skiing day at the neighbouring resort of Pas de la Casa, which is famed for attracting hoards of party-goers and some big-name DJs.

Getting There

Toulouse airport to the north and Barcelona airport to the south are the nearest to Andorra, both of which lie around three hours away. Hiring a car is the best option.

Barcelona airport: 3 hours
Toulouse airport: 3 hours
Calais: approximately 13 hours driving (700 miles)

Snow Overview

Spain & Andorra

Updated 24/12

A calm and settled week is in store for the Pyrenees over the Christmas period as, along with the rest of Europe, high pressure becomes the theme of the week. Snow will tail off on Christmas Eve before fine, dry and bright conditions dominate for the remainder of this period.

Temperatures will turn mild, with positive temperatures in play at mid-mountain level for the rest of the week and over the weekend.

The Ski Club office is closed on Friday 28 December – there will be no overviews published on this date, returning Tuesday 31 December. The Ski Club wishes you a Merry Christmas!

I started skiing late but there was no turning back and I haven't missed a year since then until 2021. No idea what happened then! It all began in Austria before trying the big French resorts and several in North America. Soldeu in Grandvalira has become a big favourite with its huge ski area centred on this sociable little village. Being part of the Rep Service provides a great chance for a few extra weeks on the snow and an opportunity to meet like minded people!

I first fell in love with skiing in my teens with like-minded school friends, and I still ski with them some 40 years later. I enjoy any form of skiing, especially socially with others who share a love the mountains. I live in Suffolk, I am recently retired and have three boys and a lovely lady at home.

We are still early in the process of assigning Reps for the 2024/25 winter season. Thank you for your patience whilst we make these arrangements.

Repping dates: 02/02/2025 - 16/02/2025

Having been lucky enough to ski from childhood, I’ve always loved spending time in the mountains and on the slopes. If you board, I can happily join you, although they say I’m not quite as bad on skis. I recently got into touring which has been a revelation. Off the mountain I enjoy swimming, running and biking, in the great outdoors when the weather is kind. Work has taken me all around the world and I’ve also lived in France for part of my life. I’m always grateful for being able to experience the mountains in the way that we do, and look forward to meeting like minded people every season for fun and snowy adventures.

Repping dates: 16/02/2025 - 02/03/2025

My first love is and has always been skiing. My love affair started when I was a young student and I cut my teeth on the mountains of Scotland. I have been fortunate to ski in many European resorts over the years as well as America, Canada and Japan. I like nothing better than cruising the piste to skiing steep and deep, and now dipping my feet into some ski touring too! From a fair-weather skier to an all-weather skier (and sometimes snowboarder too) I love it all. A bad day on the slopes is better than a good day at the office!! I really look forward to meeting you and sharing my joy of skiing with you, as well as the coffee & cake stops

I have been a ski lover for more than 35 years, shunning summer holidays just waiting for the snow to arrive. I have skied extensively in Europe, the US and Japan. my favourite skiing is in the USA. I love to ski off piste and I am always on the hunt for fresh tracks. I like a bit of cyling to keep the legs in shape. I also love classic cars and motor sport. I am looking forward meeting and skiing with members in Soldeu this season.

Hi, I'm David, and I've been riding the snow on skis and boards since I started work... I mostly ski these days, and whilst I love a good powder day ( who doesn't!) I also enjoy a good piste blast. I'm equally happy with a nice mountain coffee or vin chaud, and always keen to sample mountain cuisine. Favourite spots - anywhere it’s snowing! When I’m not skiing, I’m usually found in a dinghy, on a bike, or behind a camera. Ciao!
