Grandvalira

Some residents from France and Spain stay in the southwest of the Alps, whereas the majority of Europe flies to the Alps' center. In contrast to the Alps, the Pyrenees mountain range provides a more relaxed atmosphere with equally breathtaking views. The European Cup Finals of the 2018 Ski World Cup will be held in this Andorran snow town, which has 200km of beautiful slopes, making it the largest ski resort in the Pyrenees. A zip line, an alpine coaster, and a freeride area are also available for snow bunnies who wish to take a day off from the slopes.

Andorra is a fantastic compromise if you want to ski but not excessively. Despite being the biggest ski resort in the Pyrenees, Grandvalira offers much more than just skiing and snowboarding.

Try ziplining or riding the alpine coaster when your thighs need a rest from the slopes. And when it's time to leave, it's simple to include a city break in one of the nearby nations. You may travel to Toulouse, France, or Barcelona, Spain, in three hours.
