Grandvalira is a valley that unites several ski resorts: Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, El Tarter, Soldeu, Encamp and Canillo. These are small mountain villages with comfortable hotels for fans of mountain skiing and snowboarding.

In Grandvalire there are tracks for skiers of any level, routes for cross-country skiing, as well as halfpipe, freestyle and border-cross zones. On all routes there is a single ski pass to the ski lifts, which is very convenient.

Another “sport”, practiced by tourists in Andorra, is shopping. The Principality is a zone of duty-free trade. Prices in local stores are 30-40% lower than in other countries of the Old World. During Christmas sales just a fairy tale begins for shopaholics here.

Many people who come to Andorra take not so many clothes with you, and then they fill in their suitcases to the maximum with newly bought ones. Most shops are located in the capital of Andorra, La Vella. It is very close to Grandvalira. In a dwarf country where there is not even an airport, in general everything is located so compactly.

Most of the goods in stores are brought from neighboring Spain (wine, olives, gold and silver) and France (clothing fashion brands, perfume, watches).

Huge demand is for cheese here.

Because of the lack of duties on goods in Andorra, you can profitably buy quality tobacco products, gadgets and electronics. As well as it is necessary to the mountain-skiing country, in Andorra good sports equipment is sold on reasonable prices.
