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?

ski and winter sports, Andorra apartments offers 6 de November de 20246 de November de 2024

December means the start of the ski season and many people are eagerly awaiting its arrival to hit the slopes. If you also feel the need to put on your ski boots again, here are some tips to help you get organised with everything you need to make the most of your first snowy getaway!

1. Choose and book your accommodation at the foot of the slopes

One of the keys is to stay close to the resort to save time, avoid long journeys and last-minute queues. Another fundamental point is to book accommodation in advance to ensure your stay. Especially on dates as busy as the long weekend in December, when occupancy is high.

Book your accomodation in Andorra

At Els Llacs Mountain Apartments we have all the facilities: on our website you can buy the complete package of Apartment and ski pass in Grandvalira. You’ll also get an additional 10% discount, even on bookings for the long weekend in December!

For greater comfort, we offer you additional services such as ski lockers and free access to the spa, ideal for relaxing after a day of snow. Check here all the services of our apartments.

2. Have your ski equipment ready in advance

Once you’ve booked your stay, it’s time to check your ski equipment. Take note, it tends to deteriorate over time, and there’s nothing worse than arriving on the mountain and discovering it’s in poor condition.
Do a complete overhaul: check that your skis are well waxed, that your bindings are working properly and that your boots are in good condition. Check gloves, goggles, helmet and ski poles.
Another alternative available is to rent equipment, an option we also offer at Els Llacs Mountain Apartments. Write to us when you make your booking and we will advise you.

3. Make sure you have the right clothing

It’s also a good idea to try on your clothes before the long weekend in December so that you have everything ready.
Here is a basic checklist of the equipment you need:

Thermal under layers: choose underwear and a thermal T-shirt to keep you warm.
Fleece or second layer: ideal for retaining body heat without restricting movement.
Anorak and waterproof trousers: to resist the snow and keep you dry.
Essential accessories: helmet, waterproof gloves, suitable socks, neck warmer and sunglasses or goggles.

4. Keep in good physical condition

Skiing demands a lot of leg strength, so preparing your body before the season is a point you can’t overlook. You can start including leg and core strengthening exercises in your routine. This will not only help you enjoy skiing more, but also help you avoid injuries and overtiredness.

5. Consider booking ski lessons

If you’re a beginner or haven’t skied in a while, it’s a good idea to book some lessons with professional instructors. There are options for all levels and ages, from beginner courses where you’ll gain confidence with confidence to advanced classes to progress and improve your technique.
Remember that the first weekend in December and the Christmas and New Year’s Eve dates are high season and it is always best to book in advance. Els Llacs Mountain Apartments can also help you.

6. Check the forecast and the state of the slopes

Before jumping on your boards, it is important to know the state of the slopes and the weather. Grandvalira publishes daily updates on snow conditions and open slopes, which will help you plan your days better. The weather forecast is key to deciding which days are the most favourable for skiing or if you should modify your ski itinerary.

7. Plan your après-ski activities

The après-ski experience doesn’t end on the slopes: après-ski is the perfect time to enjoy with friends or family! Andorra offers endless options, such as spas, restaurants, bars, shops… Discover them here.

December is the perfect time to start the ski season. Take advantage of these tips and make sure everything is ready to enjoy an unforgettable holiday in the snow. Book your accommodation at the foot of the slopes and prepare your equipment to make the most of every minute on the mountain.
See you on the slopes!
