FAQs about Soldeu ski holidays
Your questions answered by our Soldeu ski resort expert
What is Soldeu ski resort like for skiing?
If a snow-sure resort is a must-have for your holiday, without the need for planning around the best time to ski, then check out high-altitude ski resorts, like Val Thorens or Tignes with their consistent snow conditions all season long.
And finally, if you want to know the best time to ski in France to skip the crowds, then avoid the school holidays if you can, or choose from one of many lesser-known, quieter resorts.
Why are Soldeu ski holidays so popular?
Great for families, groups, and even non-skiers, Soldeu ski trips offer great value for money, peachy pistes, and a "luxury for less" experience that keeps skiers and snowboarders coming back year after year.
Here, accommodation, lift passes, gear hire, ski lessons, and food and drink are all excellent value for money, making it a haven for mixed-ability groups looking to stay on budget.
What's more, it makes up part of Andorra's over 200km Grandvalira ski area, with heaps of blues and reds, challenging blacks, off-piste opportunities, and terrain parks keeping more seasoned skiers and snowboarders well-entertained.
Are Soldeu ski holidays snow sure?
Generally, yes. Soldeu is considered to be a relatively snow-sure resort. This is because most of its slopes are above 2000m, and the village itself sits at 1,800m, owing to heaps of natural snowfall. If things ever become a bit sparse, Soldeu also benefits from extensive modern snowmaking equipment across 60% of its terrain, including its nursery slopes.
When’s the best time to book a Soldeu ski holiday?
- January and February are the peak times to visit Soldeu ski resort for the most reliable snow conditions and a lively, festive Christmas and New Year atmosphere.
- If you prefer warmer temperatures and quieter slopes away from the main school holidays, then March ski trips to Soldeu offer sunny spring days and bluebird conditions overhead.
- Early December can also be a great time to pick up some mega Soldeu ski deals, provided the early-season snow has arrived.
Is Soldeu a good pick for beginner ski holidays?
Yes. Soldeu is widely regarded as a beginner ski holiday hotspot in Europe thanks to its wide, rolling nursery slopes conveniently located at Espiolets near the top of the main gondola, and its many fantastic English-speaking ski schools.
Then, once first-timers have built their confidence up, it's time to put skills to the test on the heaps of easy-peasy long, cruisy blues across the Granvilara.
Is Soldeu suitable for family ski trips?
Yes, Soldeu is fantastic for family ski trips! The resort is excellent for children, offering a quiet atmosphere, family-friendly hotels, kids' clubs, spa and pool facilities, and easy access to the gondolas (say goodbye to lugging multiple pairs of kids' skis and boards!).
Additionally, local beginner zones, child-friendly themed slopes, and excellent English-speaking ski schools make Soldeu a great and safe place for children to learn the ropes.
Is Soldeu good for snowboarders?
Yes, snowboarders heading to Soldeu can enjoy the wide, open blues and reds, along with modern gondolas and chairlifts rather than the more difficult drag lifts.
Additionally, Soldeu offers access to several high-quality terrain parks, including the famous El Tarter Snowpark, as well as a dedicated boardercross circuit for freestyle fanatics.
Are ski holidays to Soldeu good for non-skiers?
Yes. Non-skiers travelling to Soldeu can enjoy dog sledding, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling within the Grandvalira area, as well as high-end spas and saunas. What’s more, it’s only a short bus ride away from the capital, Andorra la Vella, which is famous for its duty-free shopping and the massive Caldea thermal spa.
Is Soldeu linked to any other resorts?
Yes, Soldeu is fully linked to the Grandvalira ski area, which includes the resorts of El Tarter, Canillo, Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, and Encamp, via a network of modern lifts and pistes. It is the largest linked ski domain in the Pyrenees and one of the largest in Europe, and allows skiers and snowboarders to travel across a vast mountain range without ever needing to take a bus.
