Canillo buying powder

Tucked into the pleats of the Pyrenees, the dinky principality of Andorra punches above its weight in winter, from skiing and fiestas to a gourmet food-scene that features the best bits of France and Spain. Come winter, snow falls thick and fast on the craggy peaks and forested valleys of this micronation, drawing skiers and boarders to the slopes. Along with its spa offerings, back-to-nature adventures and restaurants elevating slope-side food to gourmet levels, Andorra certainly gives the Alps a run for its money. Here are five reasons to make it your next winter break. The resort of Grandvalira has miles of well-groomed, easy-to-navigate slopes, with arresting views of the ragged Pyrenees, plus, a single ski pass covers the lot. At 2, metres, sky-high Pas de la Casa parties as hard as it skis. The Grandvalira app points out marked routes for off-piste and mountain skiing. Or for a brush with the white wilderness, go ski mountaineering. Most fabulous of the lot is the Caldea , a vast complex of pools, whirlpool baths and grotto-like Indo-Roman baths, where you relax in 34C thermal waters and gaze up at the peaks from a bubble bed. Float above the Gran Valira River in a panoramic lagoon and give your immune system a boost in Icelandic baths that run geyser hot and glacier cold. Many hotels offer slope-side relaxation, too, including Diamond Spa at Grand Plaza Hotel , with its hydrotherapy circuit, hot-stone beds and sauna, while Sport Wellness Mountain Spa , at Hermitage Mountain Residences, has mountain-facing hydrotherapy baths, hot tubs, saunas and luscious treatments. All resorts rent out equipment so you can go it alone, or book a guided two-hour snowshoeing night walk at Grau Roig, padding through snow that shimmers pearl-white in the moonlight. Grandvalira has devised plenty of ingenious ways to get pulses racing, with snowsports swinging from gentle family fun to extreme thrills. In Grau Roig, you can snowmobile through icy forests at night, under a canopy of stars. For a different kind of buzz, slide across the snow at speeds of up to 25mph on a MoonBike a snowmobile-bike hybrid in Pal Arinsal. Children in tow? Andorra has upped its culinary game in recent years, with a flurry of chefs utilising local Pyrenean produce. For a traditional mountain hut, ski to the scenically-perched Refugi del Llac de Pessons , for traditional Andorran dishes like escudella a hearty meat, vegetable and sausage stew and trinxat Catalan-style bubble and squeak, with garlicky mashed cabbage, potatoes and bacon. Special occasion? Book Michelin-starred Ibaya in Soldeu. All rights reserved. Photograph by Visit Andorra andorraworld. By Kerry Walker.
