Grandvalira-Soldeu Kar Tahmini

This will be our sixth year in Soldeu, Feb-26, and we're looking forward to a week of intensive skiing. We would consider ourselves to be experienced intermediate skiers, who rarely venture off-piste, but prefer to thrash the blues and reds and the occasional black. We ski from 09.30 to 16.30 each day. We're a family of four very active adults. The hotels are excellent, the food is very agreeable and the staff are very friendly and always helpful. The quality of skis (for hire) is excellent. The maintenance of the ski gear is excellent. On the slopes there are rarely queues at the lifts, there are rarely queues in the eateries and the prices are much more affordable than any other ski area in Europe. Yes; if you want adventurous off-piste, high speed, thrilling, slightly higher risk skiing, maybe the higher alpine resorts might suit best. If you are happy to pay twice the price for lift passes, gear hire, food, beer, head to the Alps. However, those of us who seek a ski-in ski-out winter skiing experience, with almost guaranteed snow, that is in line with our abilities, and pockets, head to Granvalira.
