#3: Andorra

As we come to the end of my little consideration of the world’s best places to ski, we arrive at a hidden gem. Andorra is a tiny (200 square foot) ski resort tucked in between France and Spain, and encompassing the best of what those countries have to offer.

Andorra’s deceptive size hides a treasure of a ski resort where well over a hundred and fifty ski slopes benefit from the use of nearly a thousand snow cannons. With that much artificial snow behind you, a great ski season is guaranteed!

Better still, Andorra is just well-known enough to boast luxury hotels, high-speed ski lifts, and fantastic facilities. The weather is generally sunny and warm, and the snow is second to none. Many people who’d never heard of Andorra before are discovering this gorgeous ski resort.

Andorra has a good mix of beginner, intermediate, and expert trails, along with a large ski school and eight miles of cross-country skiing. You can reach Andorra through Barcelona, which makes a great stop-off to finish your skiing holiday.

If you’re a true skier, Andorra is the perfect location: sunny, beautiful, a refuge from the crowds, and with near-perfect slopes.
