Soldeu is a paradise for beginners, where everyone starts their day by taking the TC8 Soldeu gondola to a dedicated beginner area. Guided by the acclaimed ski school, newcomers get to practice on slopes like Astoret before graduating to more expansive blue runs. By the end of your stay, you might even be cruising down the scenic, tree-lined slopes back to the village.

This resort is an ideal spot for intermediate skiers. With Soldeu situated right at the core of Grandvalira, you can ski in any direction after stepping off the TC8 gondola. Riba Escorxada offers a slew of tempting red runs, while the Rossinyol blue towards Canillo is perfect if you're looking for a less crowded experience.
