Home to some of the best-loved and highest resorts in the Pyrenees, Grandvalira boasts stunning views and beautiful runs, flowing from the top of the mountain all the way down to Lake Pessons. School groups find this resort (the largest in the region) easy to navigate thanks to its sophisticated lift system, which allows for easy access between villages while on the slopes, and to Andorra la Vella’s incredible entertainment package in the evenings.

Features

Once they’re ready to hit the slopes, your group’s more confident beginners and intermediates are spoilt for choice. Soldeu and El Tarter offer a fantastic choice of blue and red runs, trailing from the highest point in-resort right down to the village centres, while Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa possess steeper and more challenging runs down from the ridge.

Advanced skiers will have a blast at Grandvalira, thanks to its impressive mileage and a fully inter-linked ski-lift system – allowing for no-fuss travel from resort to resort. Here, your group can really sample a little of everything, from the tree-lined runs in lower Soldeu, to the open face of Pas de la Casa.
