Default FAO Gareth T/Anyone who's been to Andorra

I'm looking to book a boarding holiday for February time next year, possibly to Andorra as i've heard its good! Will Feb be a good time to go there? What is the snow like? Also, where should I want to stay (which town etc) and are there any good sites for finding Chalets on (don't have numbers yet but likely to be about 10 of us going)

Thanks

Mate your love it there especially Feb. Me and a load of mates went for a couple of week Feb this year and it was awesom. Fresh powder most days and off piste is excellent. Only problem i would say was that the weather closed in really quick and when there was a snow storm you were stuck in a bar or where ever you were for about 3 hours.

all good though mate one of the better places to go for skiing and night life combined.

Andorra rocks fella!!

Really the best place if your a new-ish skier as theres loads of good learner runs.

I'm hoping to get back that at some point..........

Gareth,

You are more than welcome to come with us if your mates don't want to go next year!

I have looked into the ski maps and there doesn't look like many runs and they all seem quite easy! One of my mates who is also helping to organise said his mate went last year and it wasn't as great as people make out, and a lot more expensive than he though it was going to be and it is worth considering other such as the Alps.

It certainly looks a lot smaller than Alpe D'Huez where i'm going for the New Year!!

The ski map for Pas wasn't working but the other resort I saw only had a couple of runs

This one looks a bit better
