With warmer temperatures, longer days and fewer crowds, outside of the big long weekends, it’s a great time to enjoy skiing.

Tips to make the most of the day To make the most of your spring skiing experience, follow these tips: Choose the best time to ski In spring, the snow is usually in better condition in the morning, as the temperature rises and it becomes wetter in the afternoon.

You will have the opportunity to ski on slopes before the resorts open, leaving from El Tarter, the sector of our hotel. Get suitably equipped Although temperatures are milder, it is important to wear breathable technical clothing and high protection sun cream. Radiation is stronger in spring and the sun reflects off the snow, increasing the risk of sunburn. Check the condition of the slopes The weather in spring can be changeable, so it is advisable to check the snow forecast before setting off. This way you can plan your day better and choose the slopes with the best conditions. Combine skiing with other activities After an intensive morning of skiing, take advantage of the afternoon to discover Andorra. You can relax in Caldea, stroll around Andorra la Vella or enjoy activities such as sledging or snowshoeing. Après-ski activities After a day’s skiing in spring, Andorra offers many options for relaxing and continuing to enjoy yourself: Thermal baths in Caldea: a perfect plan to recover after a day in the snow. Shopping in Andorra: it’s a good time to restock your equipment with the ski sales, which began on the 7th of February and will continue until the 20th of April. You’ll find items from the best brands at unbeatable prices. Night-time activities on the slopes: if skiing until the last minute is your thing, you can do it some days on the Tubs slope in the Pas de la Casa sector. And if you’re a fan of freestyle, you have the Sunset Park Peretol snowpark at your disposal until 9 pm. Skiing in spring and staying at Hotel del Tarter To make the most of your stay, get up early to enjoy the best snow and equip yourself properly. If you are looking for comfort and family fun, the Hotel del Tarter offers you an excellent location for your getaway in the snow. Book now and get ready to enjoy the spring in the snow!
