The
largest ski domain in Andorra, Grandvalira includes these
resorts: Canillo, El Tarter, Encamp, Grau
Roig, Pas de la Casa and Soldeu.
Perched atop the Pyrenean range is the tiny
principality of Andorra. As a ski resort Andorra made its
name in the 80's as a cheap and cheerful place for good skiing
and partying but ran into trouble in later years due to poor
access roads and over-keen building projects. Things have settled down now with better,
quality hotels and well-cleared access roads. Drink is still
duty-free so there's still quite a bit of partying.
