The little sister of Soldeu, Andorra's El Tarter has everything you need to get shredding and gain confidence on the pistes. A short hop on the main resort lift takes you to a large plateau dedicated to beginners and kiddies. Master the snow plough on the nursery slopes before testing your skills on easy-going blues.
Got the hang of parallel turns? Carve it up on some rolling reds. Seasoned pros should check out Grandvalira's six off-piste routes for some mint freeride action. And don't miss the El Tarter snow park - it's one of the longest in Europe.
El Tarter's ski season runs from December to April, but the absolute best time for fresh snow in the Pyrenees is in February and March - perfect timing for a half-term break with the mini-skiers!
If you fancy a festive ski holiday without the crowds, Andorra is a swell place to hang out come Christmas time. Plus, if you needed any more incentive, it's much easier on the wallet too. Happy days!
Things to do in El Tarter
For some lively après ski music and dancing, L'Abarset always gets the party going. Grab a cocktail, throw your hands in the air, and bop to live DJs on the terrace. Looking for something more laid back? Feast on gastro pub grub and sip on cold beer in Dylans.
During the day, you can explore multiple snowshoeing routes, bomb it around on a snowmobile, or even jump on a husky dog sledge. Mush! And don't forget to take advantage of the duty-free shopping - neighbouring Soldeu's retail scene is on point.
