🇦🇩 RISK-FREE BOOKINGS, EARLY BIRD SPECIALS. BOOK THE BEST WEEKEND OF THE WINTER, NOW ❄️
Le Grand Andorra Après-Ski Weekender takes us back to a more glamorous age of European ski holidays. We’ll be skiing and relaxing, treating ourselves, maybe partying a little, taking some “us time” in the spa, and hanging out with a fun, friendly group of fellow adventurers, and après-ski enthusiasts. From our welcome dinner where the wine flows, to our Christmas sweater party by the fireplace with boardgames and good people, the vibe here is cozy and chic. On the mountain you’ll find excitement for first-time skiers and boarders, as well as the experienced, and our après ski party at the bottom of the mountain with “schnappy hour” will help you relax the kinks out of the body and get ready for the night ahead and all the storytelling in the spa, and later the bar. Perfect for solo travellers and groups, and everybody who’s been waiting for the chance to do something lovely – because after this year don’t we deserve it!

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 spend some time in the spa facilities. We’ll dine together at one big table 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 nice and cozy, by a fireplace, drinking hot buttered rum and playing boardgames. It’s too nice!
On Saturday we’re up and on the mountains, to either Pal-Arinsal or Ordino-Arcalis. Ski hire is included, but snowboarders are welcome too. 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 probably end up in the warm pools, sauna, or jacuzzi, with 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.
Traveling from outside of Barcelona, or can’t make the departure times? Then choose to meet us there. Everything apart from the return transport from Barcelona is included in the Meet Us There trip.

Squeezed in between Spain and France high in the Pyrenees, Andorra is usually omitted from most travelers’ itineraries. Well it shouldn’t be! It’s so beautiful your eyes will weep snow flakes, and right next to Barcelona.
That’s right, Andorra is tax free, so drinking, smoking and pornography is cheaper here than in other European countries. Hooray!
We will be skiing and boarding in the glorious Vallnord resort on two main slopes, check out the stats…
Pal-Arinsal: Great for all levels
Ordino-Arcalis: When it’s slush elsewhere, there is still powder here
In front of the Catalonia Hotel on Plaza d’Espanya
Meet at 10 – 10:30am for an 11am departure.
Check GoEuro for the best deals on flights, buses and trains. One thing to remember is that Girona Airport, which sometimes yields the cheapest option, is over an hour by bus from downtown Barcelona, so try to fly into El Prat.
Hotel address and directions will be sent to guests prior to arrival. We stay in the Andorra la Vella area, and transport is provided to the slopes daily (10 min journey).

I had an absolute blast on my trip to Andorra. It was well organised, the tour leaders Casey and Erin were lovely and very helpful. And of course got two great days of skiing!
My trip to Andorra was one of the best trips I took this year! The best snow, cool staff and nice people!
The tour guides were awesome and I loved shedding powder on the slopes. Didn’t know Andorra was so nice for skiing!
The snow, the resort, the weather and Janice were fab!
I loved the Pyrenees, and the awesome energy of the tour guides!
