The tiny mountain principality of Andorra sits atop the Pyrenees between France and Spain. In the last decade or so, it has become a world favourite for winter sports enthusiasts helped along by its good snow, sunny clear weather and unreal natural beauty. Another plus is the fact that the tiny country's mountain resorts are just a short hop away from Barcelona International Airport, and close to the French border.Pick of the Andorran holiday resorts is Pas de la Casa. Set at an altitude of 6726 feet (2050m), this lively resort town is well-served by a hi-tech lift system which has been linked to the nearby Soldeu resort, providing miles of pistes suited to all levels of skiers and snowboarders. Snow conditions here are excellent, well maintained with top-notch snowmaking, and the resort rarely closes before April.Pas de la Casa, or 'Pas' as it is fondly known by loyal regulars, can hardly be described as picturesque, consisting mainly of modern, unattractive box-like apartment blocks and hotels. But all the accommodation and facilities are conveniently situated near the slopes and provide all the trappings necessary for a rollicking winter holiday at affordable prices.
