Piste grooming and snow-making are also excellent which has helped overcome some erratic early season snowfalls in recent years. The area has more trees and is more sheltered than neighbouring Pas de La Casa , and is therefore less vulnerable to closure in bad weather. There are some tree-lined runs on the lower part of the mountain above both Soldeu and El Tarter and, generally speaking, the local area is a little less exposed than in Pas de la Casa. That said, most of the skiing is still above the tree-line, meaning that the Grand Valira as a whole is not ideal in bad weather. See our snow reliability ratings for other European Ski Resorts.

Soldeu buying snow

Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. When you register, you get our free weekly -ish snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. I'm looking for advice and this place seems to be rather full of it intended as a compliment! So, Soldeu, Andorra: I'm going for two weeks in March. I'm also on the tiniest budget ever. Anyone got any tips for survival? I'm thinking along such lines as: is there an affordable supermarket? Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. It is a very friendly resort, food on the mountain is not the best though, mainly fast food type unless you go to Pas, but that makes it costly. There are 3 supermarkets in Soldeu, I'd recommend taking sandwiches for lunch. Ski School is good value and staffed with plenty of English speakers. I'll be back there late Feb after a couple of weeks in the Alps. PM me if you need any info, I know it well. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? The lift pass prices in Grandvalira are getting quite ridiculous now. Roughly 40 Euros a day depending on how many days you buy in advance. But since you can't avoid buying a lift pass, this is a cost you just have to pay. Otoh, Andorra is about as cheap as it gets for eating and drinking out. Although even that has gone up a lot in recent years too. As mentioned, there are 3 supermarkets in Soldeu, but there is also Caves Manacor just below El Tarter. If you don't have a car you can catch the bus down there for a week's shopping. You can actually fill up on free sausage and booze samples here if you are really skint! The prices for food are about the same wherever you go, but there is more choice in Caves Manacor. Of the 3 shops in Soldeu, Supermercat Fonts has the best range of fresh meat, fruit and veg. If you want to eat out, you won't find better or cheaper food than in the Hotel Bruxelles. The country bread sandwiches will feed 2 of you if you supplement them with a packet of crisps from the shops, and only cost about 5 Euros, and they'll even do them as a takeaway option so you don't have to suffer the shame of ordering one cheap sandwich between 2 of you! Tapas Caletas is also doing decent cheap fare too and the owner is lovely and deserves the business Up the mountain most of the main eatery areas have an Express-oh! You can get out and about quite easily if you want to - there is a regular free ski bus, but you can also hitchhike quite easily. The locals will usually pick a hitcher up, just remember to be nice to them! They stopped being so helpful for a while after a few holiday makers took advantage of their generosity, but hitching seems to be back on the up again. If you are looking to keep yourself in plonk, buy the boxed wine, Don Simon at 2 euros a litre. It's fairly drinkable, even more so if you make it into mulled wine. San Miguel is your cheap beer option. You'll have to get used to carrying your skis around - there is only one locker option at the gondola station, and it's not that cheap. Buy ear plugs if you find yourself in the pub when the ski instructors' band is on, and save on medical costs! Unless you like the sound of them murdering songs. They managed to wheel out a bagpipe player this season, god knows where from! Other than that, can't think of anything else that's going to keep your costs down. You need to Login to know who's really who. I don't agree with Andorra being cheap for eating and drinking out it has the reputation for it but its not true. The bars in resort are more expensive than bars in Austria and Italy and the food on the mountain is truly awful and mostly self serving crap a pizza on the sella Ronda will cost you far far less than a burger in soldeu. It sounds like I hate the place but I do like the place as I learned to ski there and only have the highest praise for the ski school which is fantastic which is slightly lronic as the best thing about Andorra is its world class ski which when booked as package is an absolute bargain. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. Vintageryan , As most of the bars have not raised their prices for the last 5 years I think you will find that they are now reasonable again. Lift prices also get a kicking, but once again km of prepared pistes with modern uplift equipment, compare other resorts with the same amount of prepared pistes and the same uplift capacity queues are almost non existant and you will find that they are all a similar price. Some of the fast food places have been revamped into buffet style and have a good choice, but not the cheapest. My wallet gets mugged. You'll need to Register first of course. I am glad to hear the bars have frozen prices and I am a big fan of the ski area but I think its harsh to compare a lunch in Andorra compared to France. It does sound like the prices on the mountain have come down as well but I don't think Andorra deserves its tag as cheap and cheerful which isn't a bad thing. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports You have to look for these places though! They don't just leap out at you, but locals and regulars know where they are. Some of them you can walk to, others you need transport. I ate in Borda del Rector last week, and we had some bread and olives to be going on with our aperitifs, then starters which included foie gras controversial, I know, but I like it! Main courses included steaks cooked on an open grill, and wild game dishes. We didn't have pudding, but had coffees and liquors, and the whole meal was well washed down with wine from a very good selection. There were 5 of us, and it came in at about 35 Euros each, which I think is rather cheaper than you'd find food in a decent restaurant in France, for example. I also had lunch several times at the Hotel Bruxelles, and the sandwiches there are fabulous, and cost about 5 Euros each. For what you get I don't think you can find cheaper food out. I agree that food on the pistes in the Dolomites is much better and possibly cheaper the food is one of the things I raved about when I went there last year, but on the whole, compared to the soul-less vast canteens you find up the mountain in places like Les Arcs and La Plagne, the food up the mountain in Andorra is no worse and definitely cheaper. And I happen to like Iberican ham sandwiches. After all it is free. I was mostly disappointed with the food on the mountain when in Andorra and thought it was reasonably expensive for what you get. However, I couldn't resist the doner kebab place down in Grau Roig one day! You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Ski the Net with snowHeads. It was just very difficult to find somewhere that served local food on the mountain, at times it felt like lunchtime in Alton Towers where you try and find the best of a bad bunch of fast food places. We don't ski with an aim of going to a particular place for lunch, we ski until we're hungry and stop at the next place we get to. The sad fact is that the only lunch that stood out the whole time we were there was the kebab place in Grau Roig it only sold kebabs! In contrast our last 3 trips have been to Italy twice and Austria, I can't remember one bad lunch. However, I wouldn't let that put me off going back as we enjoyed our week there regardless. Not a problem, my original post Quote: food on the mountain is not the best though, mainly fast food type unless you go to Pas agrees with your comments, and to be honest I had no idea there was a doner kebab place in Grau! And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. We were in Pas. The kebab place may have only been there for one season, seemed very much like one year it could be a kebab shop, the next some other fast food place. Very franchise like. I've just looked at piste map to remind myself and I think it was at the bottom of Mirador run near the Cubil lift.
