Easter is only one month away! Get ready for the last big long weekend of the season

with children, nature in Andorra, ski and winter sports 19 de March de 202519 de March de 2025

Easter is just around the corner and it’s time to start planning the last long weekend of the winter season. This is your final chance to come to Andorra and enjoy the snow . Although with spring well into the season you can also schedule other activities taking advantage of the longer days and milder temperatures than in winter.

Skiing or snowboarding with spring snow

At Easter you will enjoy the last runs of the season in Grandvalira before storing the material until next winter.
Mornings are usually the best time to ski, with more compact snow. As the sun becomes more intense, the snow becomes wetter, creating an ideal environment to relax and stop for a drink on the terraces of the restaurants in the resort’s sectors.

Ski circuits for children ensure their fun

If you are traveling with your family, Andorra has ski circuits designed for the little ones. These themed areas combine play with learning, helping children to improve their technique while having fun in a safe environment.

– Mon(t) Magic in Grandvalira (Canillo sector):

A snow adventure park with adapted slopes, activities for children and a 550-meter zip line across the Forn Lake.

– Kid’s Forest in Grandvalira:

These are areas designed for the little ones with soft slopes and decorative elements of forest animals.
These areas are designed for little skiers to gain confidence and, at the same time, enjoy their experience in the snow.
Skiing in Andorra during Easter is an excellent way to close the season with the best atmosphere and spectacular scenery, so make the most of the last days of snow!

Skiing and more: adventures for intrepid families

For families who are not satisfied with the typical, Andorra at Easter has much more to offer besides skiing. With the snow gradually retreating, the mountains become a huge adventure park where adrenaline and fun are guaranteed.

– MoonBikes in Soldeu:

Adrenaline on snow for intrepid youngsters. If in your family there are young people from 14 years old who are looking for strong emotions, the MoonBikes in Soldeu are the perfect plan. These electric snowmobiles combine the sensation of sliding down the mountain with the adrenaline of speed, allowing you to ride on prepared circuits in the middle of nature. They are easy to handle and sustainable. Ideal for those teenagers who want more action on their vacations!

– Adventure circuits in the trees:

For those looking for action, Naturland offers high altitude circuits where the little ones (and not so little ones) can test their balance.

– Igloo building:

A challenge in the snow for the whole family. If you are looking for a different activity that tests creativity and teamwork, building an igloo as a family is a good option. In Grau Roig, workshops are organized where you will learn the traditional techniques to build a snow shelter, just like the Eskimos do, a perfect plan to connect with the mountain this Easter!

Last snowy getaway before spring

For many families, Easter is synonymous with traditions. For others, it is the perfect opportunity to experience a different adventure every year. In Andorra, the days begin in the snow and end in the middle of the forest, hanging from a zip line or discovering other corners.
If this year you want to do something different, the mountain is waiting for you. Are you ready for an action-packed Easter?

Learn how to ski in Andorra to master the slopes like a pro

with children, ski and winter sports 5 de February de 20255 de February de 2025

Andorra is an ideal destination for learning to ski thanks to its wide range of slopes, excellent ski schools and an infrastructure adapted to all levels. With options for both children and adults, Grandvalira Resorts has a unified method of ski schools in all its resorts. If you are looking for the perfect place to take your first steps in safety, we assure you that you will find it in Grandvalira. Read on and we’ll tell you all about it.

In addition, they have some 800 instructors prepared to attend to skiers of up to 20 nationalities, ensuring that each person finds an instructor who speaks their language.
All this makes learning to ski in Andorra a comfortable and safe experience, especially for those who have never set foot on snow before.

Children have fun while they learn

When it comes to learning to ski, the little ones have a special place in Grandvalira. Children between the ages of 3 and 6 can learn by playing under the supervision of specialised instructors, while enjoying activities that combine skiing and playing in the snow in the snow gardens. The youngest children from the age of 1 can stay in the nurseries.
There are also Kids Programs for children from 3 to 11 years old, with ski or snowboard lessons, meals and activities.
There are also Kids Forest, themed circuits inspired by the fauna of Andorra, and Fun Cross circuits for more advanced children.

Thanks to experienced instructors and first-class facilities, learning is safe and progressive. You can start on beginner slopes and progress to more challenging terrain as you gain confidence.
For many adults, skiing in Grandvalira is not only an opportunity to discover a new sport, but also to enjoy a unique natural environment. In addition, ski and snowboard groups are organised according to level, allowing for more personalised tuition.

Top Class for an exclusive and personalised skiing experience

Top Class is a premium service and, more than a ski lesson, it is an instructor service with completely personalised attention. The instructor acts as a personal ambassador for the resort, taking care of every detail to make the experience unbeatable. From managing restaurant reservations to selecting the right equipment or coordinating transfers. This service has become very popular with those who want to make the most of their stay in the snow.

From freeride to ski mountaineering

Skiing is evolving, and with it, the options for those looking for experiences beyond the traditional slopes. Ski mountaineering, freeriding and snowshoeing have become increasingly popular, prompting schools to adapt their offerings.

– Specialised training and safe circuits

To respond to this demand, Grandvalira created Grandvalira Mountain Guides, a specialised team that organises everything from beginners’ courses to routes around Andorra’s iconic peaks. With 10 years of experience, its aim is to ensure that skiers enjoy the natural environment in complete safety.
In addition, specific circuits and training in mountain safety have been designed, guaranteeing that both beginners and experts can perfect their technique without risk.
