I look forward to your report...And don't forget some pictures!
Our group have been to Grandvilara for the last 3 years. We are going to Austria for the first time in a few weeks time but will definitely go back to Soldeu/Pas in the future.
They have done a fantastic job here with the snow, we are having a ball as usual. Pictures to follow sorry now but have to ski bye !!
I'm not going to join the debate, but just to let you know there is heavy snow forecast (down to 300M so approach roads will get snow) in Andorra this weekend! The big plus is that it's going to look beautiful when the sun comes out again! Enjoy!

Just to Epilog the debate, we're (sadly) back in Green Ireland, and have had a fantastic week of 7 hr per day skiing for 6 days in Grandvalira, based out of excellent Soldeu. There had been no snowfall for the previous 4 weeks, and as with Murphy's Law in action, it began to snow as we left back our skis on Sat evening and had not stopped as we boarded the bus to airport the following morning.
I've made myself a few promises from all this, I promise never to listen to Andorra nay sayers again

, if it does not snow for 4 weeks prior to my arrival I promise I wont fret or worry because this excellent well run resort has all the snow making facilities that will GUARANTEE me skiing for as long as we did last week, and coupled with the fact that Soldeu ticks every satisfaction box for me, from value to food to Apres ski I PROMISE TO GO BACK.
