| About The Resort.. |
|
 |
|
|
El Tarter along with Pas de La Casa, Soldeau, Canillo and Encamp are all part of the Grand Valira. All the mountains are linked making it one of the largest ski areas in Europe. Low prices, good ski schools an exceptional nightlife make it a place the Brits love. El Tarter itself is a little spread out with no real centre. You will also find El Tarter has slightly less nightlife than Andorra.

| About The Mountain |
|
 |
|
|
 The local slopes are on the open mountains above the woods and there is a brand new gondola. Most of the time you can ski back down to the village at the end of the day. There are lots of areas for beginners and the mountain links into the other resorts of the Gran Valira. Much investment has been made to link these fields. Maybe limited excitement for advanced skiers but intermediates will enjoy a varied day.
Snowboarders - there is a good park sponsored by Nike AGC which should keep all boarders happy. It consists of 3 great kickers with smaller side kicks. Perfectly shaped to boot! There is a 120m half pipe, a selection of rails and a big wall ride. A 1/4 pipe and gigantic spine ad to the pleasures. Look out for Jamie Phillips and Tyler Chorlton the British Pro Snowboarder who is often seen in the park. ps - they are both quite useful!
 Beginners There is some great terrain for beginners to start and then develop their skiing and kids will love the disney run at the top of the El Tarter Gondola.

 Take your sandwiches!!! Ok so you have to eat and lets start with the good point. You notice I didn't say points - well prices are cheap. At the top of the gondolas we tend to meet food of various standards with queues to match.
Last time we at Snowbrainer went we liked the Llac des Pessons (T: 759015) which as table service, great views and decent food. Try the meat specialities. |
