 Poster: A snowHead
|
My friend and I are staying in Soldeu for a week from 04/02/2017
I would class my self as a red comfortable intermediate and my friend is realistically more comfy on Blues with the odd easy red.
Can the Grandvalira Snowhead experts help me map out a nice long top to bottom run including what lifts to get up there?
Look forward to any replies
Best regards
DJ
Ps anybody there that week want to meet fellow Snowheads PM me

Up the Soldeu gondola. Go right to El Tarter, take the Llosada lift.
Go right down Oreneta, right on to Guineu(excellent motorway), and follow onto esquire, this takes you to the El tarter gondola or chairlift back up.
Or go left and follow Gal De Bosc/Duc and onto Os or Bosc Bosc back to Soldeu.
Or straight on is Cortalets to Encamp, Enradorts and Cami de Pessons to Grau Roig, nice easy blues and reds. Coming back take Serrat Pinos, a fantastic fast cruise, you'll straight line most of it.
The place is well signposted and easy to get around.

Rossinyol to Canillo from Llosada down Oreneta and straight to Els Clots lift. Riu Solanelles is a natural halfpipe. Portella at Grau has magnificent views. There are loads of good fun runs and the blacks aren't that difficult in general, I think you'll do a few of them by the end of the week. Gaig, Voltor and Mirador are easy blacks. IMO

@CAPTA1N P,
I learnt to ski here 30 years ago and after a long break I am now fully back into it.
We are looking forward to it so much.
Been to Italy the last few years but the Sunday flights to Andorra work perfect for my pal who is a "Posty" and has to work Saturdays.
My daughter and her boyfriend are staying in Pas de la Casa the week after.
Best regards
DJ

If you are going with one of the tour operators then check out the Carving Clinic that is normally run on the Tuesday afternoon, sign up was at the first evening meeting. Cost was 30 euros for three hours with a top instructor in a small group (6 max). Gave me a great kick to improve my skiing, ended up booking some more private lessons because I got so much out of the clinic.

The Grandvalira area is pisted to death so there are very few runs that will get you in trouble with bumps etc, even the blacks are quite tame unless they are icy. Enjoy.
