Are you all set for the first weekend of the season? To celebrate the ski resorts in Andorra reopening on November 30, we suggest 5 original and fun activities in Grandvalira for all tastes. But if you can’t make it on the first date, save this article to enjoy these ideas throughout the season.
Discover a new way to go down the slopes with Snake Gliss
Head to the Soldeu sector when the ski slopes close for this plan. Once everyone is gone, the fun begins! You’ll enjoy sliding down the Soldeu slopes on an articulated sled driven by a guide, taking you through different routes you might have skied during the day. It’s one of the must-try activities in Grandvalira, and you can even enjoy it with your children aged 3 and above.
Be the first to step on the snow
Grandvalira offers you the chance to ski almost alone and be among the first to glide on the snow. You’ll have to wake up a bit earlier, but you’ll experience a unique feeling. The “first snow” activity takes place from 8h to 9h, and you must purchase the ski pass in advance; a medium-high skiing level is also required. At El Tarter hotel, we can help you with reservations to enjoy one of Grandvalira’s most spectacular activities.
Explore the forests of Grandvalira
Without a doubt, this is one of Grandvalira’s most popular activities, and no wonder. Riding through the forest on a dog sled is a unique experience. You can enjoy this adventure on the circuits set up in Riba Escorxada, in the El Tarter sector, at the foot of the hotel, or in the Grau Roig adventure activity centre. Along the route, spectacular landscapes await you in surroundings that will leave you speechless. Mushing is ideal to enjoy with friends, as a couple or as a family, and you can choose between being the driver or relaxing as a passenger.
Feel the adrenaline rush on the zipline
The last two activities in Grandvalira can be done on the same day, at Mon(t) Magic in the Canillo sector. To access, head to the Canillo cable car just 5 minutes by car from the hotel. The first activity is sliding down the zipline that flies over the Forn lake; it’s 550 meters long and 40 meters high. You can take the ride seated, in a horizontal position, or in tandem with a child. You’ll love it!
Have fun on the Magic Gliss
The second activity in Canillo is the mountain slide in Grandvalira. The Magic Gliss has a 555-meter downhill and a 180-meter uphill track, reaching up to 40 km/h, and children from 3 years old can join, accompanied by an adult. Additionally, for more excitement, you can wear virtual reality glasses. Are you ready?
The first weekend of the season in Grandvalira
A new ski season starts on 30 November and you can’t miss it. To make the most of the first weekend, we suggest combining skiing with Grandvalira’s exciting activities for all tastes. From the first descents on fresh snow to unforgettable experiences such as mushing rides. And to complete a great day in the snow: stay at the Hotel del Tarter, on the slopes of the area with the same name. Here you’ll feel at home, surrounded by a friendly family atmosphere. Ready to experience the magic of the snow from the very first day? We’ll be waiting for you with open arms!
