About the resort
El Tarter is part of the massive 210km Grandvalira ski area. The snow conditions are good throughout the season (obviously warmer in spring) but you'll often see amazing snow in Andorra when the rest of Europe is struggling. It's also home to one of the best ski schools in Europe too. They'll transform nervous beginners into confident improvers in no time. The speedy and advanced can also choose from a range of classes and clinics to push skills to the limit. El Tarter is a laid-back mountain town. Après is low-key with a few bars to choose from. L'Abarset bar straight off the slopes is lively until about 8pm. Or head to the nearby Neilson Hotel Del Clos bar to carry on the party feel. Not only is El Tarter a good choice for all levels of skier and snowboarder, but the resort also lends itself to those looking to enjoy a more chilled-out week.
