Do you like skiing or snowboard? Then join this meet up for skiing in Andorra at GrandValira Ski Resort.

I'm in contact with a ski tours company that offers interesting tour packages at very competitive prices.

We'll depart from Barcelona in the afternoon at March 12th.

We have 10 double rooms at the Hotel Reial Pirineus (4*) at Pas de la Casa (we can go by feet to the slopes). The final price is 141 EUR (151 EUR with insurance). It includes:
* Ski passes for 2 days
* Breakfast for both days
* Saturday's Dinner

IMPORTANT!!! Please read the following information carefully!!!

In order to make the skiing weekends go smoother, we will assign everyone to a car depending on the car space and equipment people are bringing. Each car will carry the same people and equipment to Andorra and back to Barcelona in order to make the traveling easier. Car drivers should organize with their passengers departures from the hotel to the ski lift, return to the hotel and departure time back to Barcelona. Car driver should organize the driving cost splitting too (around 95 EUR for regular cars).

Car Assignment:
LEAVING FROM PALAU REIAL at 8:30 p.m.
Anchel (4 places): Anchel, Kyoko, Monika
Silvia (4 places): Silvia, Juliet, Jason
Guillem (3 places): Guillem, Cristian, Anke

LEAVING FROM PL. LESSEPS at 9:00 p.m. leaving Andorra at 6 p.m. if weather and snow conditions are good:

Each car should coordinate what time they want to leave Andorra. If you depart Andorra before 16:00, you should arrive in Barcelona by 20:00. If you depart Andorra after 17:00, you will not arrive in Barcelona before 22:00. This is up to the driver and the passengers to decide on their own.

Thanks for your cooperation and see you on the slopes!


The steps in order to help me to organize this event are the following:

  • Join this event (or the Waiting list) and tell in your comment which equipment are you going to bring with you (maybe not all the cars can carry all the equipment)
  • If you are coming by car, tell me which equipment could you bring with your car
  • I will close this meet up on February 26th.
  • I will request you for some data that I'll need for the reservation and I'll send you a bank account number and the money you have to transfer.
  • On February 1st I will proceed with the reservation and I will confirm you all as soon as possible.
  • If you cancel this event you will get the following money back:
    • 95% if you cancel up to 10 days before
    • 85% if you cancel up to 6 days before
    • 75% if you cancel up to 3 days before
    • 0% if you cancel the day before

Notice that the procedure to join skiing weekends is different. Before I change your RSVP to Yes, I have to know which equipment you are going to bring with you, because maybe there is no space in the cars. Therefore, if you are interested, join the Waiting List and tell me in your comment which equipment you are going to bring with you.
Please add in the comment of your RSVP if you are going to bring gear or rent it. It is very important to be able to manage the space in the cars. If I can not see clearly which gear you (and your guest) are going to bring, you are going to lose your position at the waiting list.


If you need a skiing teacher you can attend the Skiing and Snowboard School at GrandValira (not included in the reservation).

We'll meet at Palau Reial (Av. Diagonal / Tinent Coronel Valenzuela). You can see the location here.

If you need to contact me by phone, click here to see my phone number.

BY JOINING THIS EVENT YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE GROUP RULES. (see them at the About Us Section)

We will not wait at the meeting point longer than 15 minutes. The schedule is very important.

Acabar de pasarse bien ese finde, relajándose con el agua en todos sus formas y estados! Entrada:34?. A comprar en el sitio o vía Internet y con nocturnos para no usurpar tiempo de esquiar ! Un penita perdérselo ya que estamos al lado y no será por el sitio que ocupa el bañador en la mochila, eh?! ;)
