Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to follow the usual script. Swapping the city for the mountains, noise for silence and a packed schedule for spontaneous plans for two can make all the difference. In Andorra, sleeping at the foot of the slopes and having Grandvalira just a few metres away allows you to organise a different kind of romantic getaway. This proposal brings together five ideas designed for couples looking for different plans in the snow, with Els Llacs Mountain Apartments as their base.
Romantic getaway in the snow without skis: snowshoes
Not all couples want to spend the whole day skiing. Snowshoeing is an alternative. The areas of Canillo, El Tarter and Soldeu offer a network of five fantastic circuits: El Comellar Llarg, Planells, Mirador de Incles, El Gall de Bosc and Espiolets, covering a total of 23 kilometres and a difference in altitude of around 850 metres. All of them are designed as circular routes, allowing you to link sections and adapt the experience to the pace of each couple.
This plan for a romantic getaway in the snow allows you to combine landscape and sport without relying on skiing, especially in a year when snow-covered forests offer us dreamlike landscapes.
Ski before anyone else
Grandvalira offers access to the slopes before the general opening on certain mornings, when the snow has just been trodden and the resort has not yet woken up. The descent takes place at first light, without queues or traffic, offering a sensation that is difficult to replicate during normal hours.
This plan is designed for couples who are also in love with skiing. After the descent, the experience continues with a leisurely breakfast at the Pi del Migdia café in the El Tarter sector, a perfect end to the morning before the resort gets into its normal rhythm. It is important to note that this activity requires a ski pass. All the information here.
Romantic getaway in the snow with private dinner in the apartment
Booking a table is fine, but cooking together can be even better. Local produce, a simple recipe and a well-stocked table turn the apartment into the centre of the plan. It’s not about improvising, but about designing the evening with intention: low lighting, chosen music and uninterrupted time. For many couples, this romantic getaway in the snow is all the more valuable precisely because it does not depend on third parties or external schedules.
Night-time snowmobile excursion
Driving a snowmobile at dusk completely changes your perception of the landscape. The routes follow marked trails, far from open slopes. It’s a plan that fits in well with a romantic getaway in the snow when you’re looking for activities in the snow.
Dog sled ride
For animal lovers, mushing allows you to explore wooded areas and open spaces without physical effort and with a dynamic that is very different from any piste activity. It is a good option for a romantic getaway in the snow when the aim is to be in direct contact with the mountains and explore them in a respectful way.
Skiing in Grandvalira as a couple
Of course, skiing in Grandvalira is a must in Andorra in February. The resort offers access to a large, well-connected area with slopes for all levels. The variety of sectors makes it easy to choose routes according to the conditions of the day and your technical level, combining long slopes or more sheltered areas.
Staying close to the slopes simplifies the day and allows you to devote your time exclusively to skiing, without travel or interruptions. Check availability and book your apartment in Grandvalira for a different kind of Valentine’s Day getaway.
Valentine’s Day can be the excuse
The important thing is to break out of your routine and spend a few days together in the snow, without stress or pre-set schedules. Here, you set the pace for the day and you’ll see that everything is easier when you have the right accommodation.
