Families
Skiing in Andorra with children: getting there
Two adults, two children, four suitcases, two ski bags, boots and a stroller: the first problem of a family ski week is the trip up. One vehicle, the right seats and a driver who knows the bends.

Skis, boots and suitcases
What vehicle do I need?
Count everyone and every bag. Ski bags, snowboards and big suitcases are one item each; two cabin bags or two boot bags count as one. The boot fills up as you add them, and the price comes live from our booking engine.
Child seats
Seats and boosters, already fitted
In Spain, children under 135 cm must travel in an approved child seat or booster suited to their size and weight. Choose the seats you need in the booking, for a small supplement, and your driver brings them fitted. If you prefer your own, bring it and count it as luggage.

Which base
Where families ski best
La Massana and Pal
Wooded, gentle slopes, a snow garden and the shortest drive. Shops and pharmacies in La Massana.
El Tarter and Grau Roig
Easy runs right by the hotels and beginners’ areas. Grau Roig is quiet, with no traffic.
Canillo
A town with services and the gondola to a beginners’ area at the top.
The drive
Three hours with children
The last 30 kilometres are valley road with bends. If someone gets car sick, tell your driver: a short stop at La Seu d’Urgell before the border can be arranged when you book. Bring water, a snack and a change of clothes within reach, not in the boot.
A folded stroller counts as one more piece of luggage. In the ski villages it is less useful than a sledge: the pavements are often snowy.
