Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All.
We're going to Andorra in the Feb half-term. Our plan is to stay in Crowne Plaza in La Vella. Is it realistic to go every morning to the lifts (the closest one, as I understand is funicamp)? Btw, are there some kinds of ski-bus or we need to use regular buses?
And how far is the bus stop from the above Crowne Plaza?

There is a bus station in the town run by NOVATEL or NOVOTEL (I think) - give them a Google, this definately has a link from Barcelona Airport, not sure about ski buses from here though - the easier option would be to drive yourself ......... Arinsal is only 20 minutes from Andorra La Velle - hope that helps.

Habashan,
Have stayed in both Soldeu and Arinsal before, didn't need to use the buses generally apart from one time. We ended up in El Tarter at the closing of the pistes and couldn't ski back to Soldeu. We waited for over an hour for a bus and eventually one of our party drove to collect us.
I don't think that the ski bus service in Andorra is that reliable. You do see buses from time to time but.............. Certainly, if you find one that suits you for morning and evening runs to and from the resort, make sure you get it as the next bus may be a long wait.

The bus service is reliable and easy to use- if I can do it ( and i hate the peasant wagon) anyone can. You can get buses from Andorra La Vella to ALL ski resorts- Funicamp at La Massana is probably the easiest and quickest to get to adn from there you can ski Pal and Arinsal, or get the bus to Arcalis, if the snow is good have a day there at least!
