Stoke Travel’s Andorra Ski weekenders

JAN 21-23 | FEB 11-13 | MAR 11-13 

A unique ski weekend in Andorra, where we do all the nice things and have all the good times we can in three days. Only a couple of hours from downtown Barcelona, this is the perfect after-work/school trip for people living in the city, as well as an easy and cheap flight from anywhere in Europe. 

We’ve been working hard on getting the mix of snow sports and partying just right, and we’ve found that the best formula is to have as much fun as is physically possible over the weekend and then pass out on the bus on the way home – content, a little sore, and with a small hangover. Keep reading for a little itinerary of what happens on these trips.

RIDE WITH US ski and snowboard trips from barcelona to andorra

We want to bring back the glamorous age of European alpine travel with our Grand Andorra Après Ski Weekenders. On Friday we’ll meet in downtown Barcelona and get to know our new best friends for the weekend (and beyond!) before throwing our luggage in the private bus and riding the two-or-so hours through Catalunya and the foothills of the Pyrenees into Andorra. Once we get to our hotel there’s time to check into our rooms and maybe even explore the village. We’ll dine together and the wine will flow, and so will the conversation – and make sure you wear your fabulous woollen sweaters, because we’ll end the night in a bar, where it’s known to get wild. Or for those not feeling the bar, some of us can stay behind and play board games in our cozy hotel… It’s too nice!

On Saturday we’re up and head across the road to the gondola, where we will start to explore Pal-Arinsal. Ski hire is included, but snowboarders are welcome too with a tiny surcharge. If you’re a first timer, or a bit out of practice, now’s the time to grab a lesson, otherwise let’s hit the lifts and spend the day whizzing around the slopes. Lunch isn’t included, but at the end of the day we’ll all be meeting at our favourite bar on the slopes, for a little bit of après-ski fun, where the DJ will be playing chill tunes, and we can ease out the kinks with “schnappy hour”. 

Back in the hotel we will have the option to dine as a group, or grab something more intimate if that’s what you feel like. Generally, on Saturday night, people find their ways around our favourite Andorra bars and clubs, because maybe some more wines or some cocktails will be what we feel like. 

We’re up bright and early again on the Sunday for one last day of looking wonderful on the mountain before heading back to Barcelona. We’re going to be tired, we’re going to be sore, we might even be a little tired, but we will be relaxed, with a smile from ear to ear, and a whole bunch of new friends.
