About Andorra
All of Andorra's ski resorts offer ski lessons for beginners or intermediate skiers and the relatively uncrowded slopes are ideal for everyone from novices to experts to enjoy themselves. There are a diverse selection of ski schools across Andorra, they cover absolute beginners to advanced skiers. Many of Andorras ski resorts cater to families. Special programs are available for children, or even full families, just learning to ski or snow board. Not everyone who visits the beautiful scenic country can ski upon arrival. Many visitors are interested in learning to ski or snow board.
Snow boarding has a large following in Andorra because of the number of gently flowing, well-groomed slopes. The slopes are busy enough to make even the least experienced skier feel comfortable; yet not so busy they are too intimidated to take the plunge. |

Andorra offers much more than skiing and snow boarding. Skiing or snow boarding in Andorra is only one of the many ways its citizens and visitors relax. Because it is such a small country, Andorra has plenty of small villages to help you get away from the stresses of every-day life. Aside from some of the best ski areas, Andorra has an active night life. Many of the small villages that make up Andorra have lively pubs and clubs if you enjoy an active night life.
Andorra's local economy thrives on its ski tourism and banking sector. Only two per cent of Andorra's land is arable, so agricultural production is limited. Most food is imported from other areas. Most farmers in Andorra raise sheep in lieu of crops, though some grow tobacco.
Andorra offers a great combination of natural snow and each major resort has extensive snowmaking ability. It has a great altitude and strong southern sunshine. With a stress-free environment like this, it's no surprise that the average human life expectancy in Andorra is almost 84 years. |
