The Three Wise Men’s tradition is one of the most eagerly awaited times to organise a mini-holiday with the family. Andorra is the ideal destination for its winter charm, nature and snow. Today we’ll tell you what’s in store for you these days so you can make the most of the festive season right up to the last minute and have a top family getaway. These are plans to combine whether you ski or prefer to relax in a different way.

The magic of the Three Wise Men in Andorra

At Christmas, Andorra transforms itself, inviting you to experience the festive atmosphere that pervades every corner of the country and which lasts until the Three Wise Men have come. The streets are filled with lights, Christmas decorations and markets, creating a perfect atmosphere of celebration.
The Three Wise Men Parade is an outstanding event, especially in towns such as Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany, where the Three Wise Men parade amidst music, sweets and floats. But in all the parishes, such as Canillo, which is the closest to the flats, their arrival will also be announced. Check the timetables here.
Beyond the celebrations, Andorra offers the possibility of enjoying its natural environment, with activities ranging from skiing to snow activities.

Get ready to start the ski season in December

ski and winter sports,  Andorra apartments offersPosted on

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! We have a good location in Bordes de Envalira, near the Peretol access to Grandvalira, between Soldeu and Grau Roig. 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!
