have been thinking of trying somewhere different this year and have seen some nice looking hotels in Soldeu (Sporthotel or Nordic among others) but dont really know much about the place so if anyone has any tips, pros and cons I will be happy for any info
Thanks

I went to the Sport hotel for a few years, it was agood hotel but a small village. If you go here you must go down to the capital Andora La Vella.(I think that is the correct spelling)

Went to Livigno after that. There was more to do there on a night. Both are tax free zones. About 3-4 hours transfers but good value for money. Plenty of fun at both locations. Check the snow depths before you book!

Been more times than I care to remember (first time in 85!) :-/.
People are great, skiing is fun, prices are good.

In Soldeu in my view the Sport hotel is over rated (no pool), Nordic is ok but Piolets (pool +sauna etc) is the best for easy access to the bubble.

Best 4* value is the EuroSki (although 5 min bus ride to slope) which has good facilities.

The Soldeu lift system is linked through to Pas de la Casa now so plenty of skiing for a week.

Haven’t been to Arinsal for 12 years though.

ps I had a revolt at home from the kids (7,11,13) when I suggested we might go some where else this year!
