Grandvalira premium services: Luxury ski experience

When people think about holidays in Andorra, they don’t just think about the beauty of the principality and all the exciting winter and summer activities it offers. Often, they directly think about Grandvalira Resorts Andorra, since this group of ski resorts – made up of Grandvalira, Ordino Arcalís and Pal Arinsal – has become synonymous with having a good time in Andorra. Even many travellers who haven’t visited Andorra yet know all about the outstanding reputation of Grandvalira.

And, beyond the more than 300km of slopes, there are the Grandvalira premium services, which make for an unparalleled luxury ski experience. From exclusive accommodation to trendy après-ski vibes to gourmet dining, Grandvalira prides itself on offering unparalleled sophistication and comfort to its guests.

Grandvalira premium services

So, what exactly are the Grandvalira premium services? Well, these are services which go above and beyond, such as exclusive luxury accommodation to make for the most unforgettable stay. Every single lodging on the ski resort is of a high standard and well-reviewed, yet there are certain establishments which offer an extra special one-of-a-kind experience, right in the heart of nature too.

Premium activities are also a big part of the Grandvalira premium services catalogue. During the day, premium clients can enjoy an unforgettable skiing or snowboarding experience on some of the most impressive pistes Europe has to offer, through the Top Class Ski School. Enrolling in the Top Class Ski School is about more than quality ski lessons, as there are many other benefits, such as access to private lockers, cozy lounges, ski trials with leading brands and premium travel services to take guests from their exclusive accommodation to the top of the slopes.

Then, after a day on the slopes, the fun is only just beginning for guests who’ve signed up for Grandvalira premium services such as the most exclusive luxury après-ski in the Pyrenees. That’s before mentioning the world-class culinary venues at the Grandvalira ski resort, found across popular sectors such as Encamp, Grau Roig, Soldeu and El Tarter. With gastronomic events and experiences being organised too, dining in Andorra has reached a whole new level!

Premium accommodation

Grandvalira’s commitment to luxury begins with its lodging options, which are designed to provide guests with an intimate connection to the natural beauty of the Pyrenees Mountain Range, while at the same time ensuring the utmost comfort and the best amenities and services.

Grandvalira ski resort boasts a selection of exclusive accommodation options, a mix of out-of-this-world hotel rooms and overnight experiences in the heart of nature, for example in adapted luxury cabins, known as “bordes” in Andorran culture. Such cabins are characterised by their rustic yet elegant interiors, harmoniously blending traditional alpine charm with modern amenities. Guests can expect spacious rooms with panoramic views, private fireplaces and personalised services that cater to every whim.

Haute cuisine

Andorra prides itself on its reputation as an up-and-coming destination for haute cuisine. With some of Europe’s best chefs overseeing projects in the principality, and with the microstate boasting a proud history of blending French and Mediterranean recipes in an interesting way, foodies are in for a treat as they taste the best gourmet food in Grandvalira.

There was a major announcement in December of 2024, when it was revealed that world-famous chef Nandu Jubany would be joining the Grandvalira family, with the Michelin-star chef from Catalonia overseeing exciting developments at the Vodka Bar and at the Braseria Piolet. The announcement explained that Nandu Jubany would serve “a selection of varied high-quality dishes” and that these would “combine après-ski with unique gastronomic experiences”.

There are many other gourmet restaurants in Grandvalira besides the two mentioned above, including the El Racó de Solanelles Restaurant, which is extra cosy with its famous fireplace, or the Restaurant Roc de les Bruixes, a more family-focused restaurant serving up the most traditional local Andorran cuisine. There are plenty of other dining options too, which is perfect for holiday goers keen to try as many different restaurants as possible during their stay, whether that’s a weekend getaway or a full week of exploration.

Luxury après-ski

Of all the premium services at Grandvalira, the après-ski parties are among the most popular. With experiences being organised in various sectors of the resort, you’ll be sure to find an après-ski you can join in with near you, the perfect way to relax after a day on the slopes.

Perhaps the most popular of all the Andorra après-ski options is the L’Abarset Andorra après-ski, which is found in the popular El Tarter sector. This venue has become famous around the world, thanks to its ability to attract world-famous DJs, with the likes of Paco Osuna, Maceo Plex, Ilario Alicante and others having played there in recent times. With the beats being accompanied by professional bartenders, exquisite tapas and a fun crowd, all across a space spanning more than 2,000 square metres across two floors and a terrace, this is the ultimate party of the Pyrenees.

There are other après-ski parties too, with several restaurants transitioning to more of a party vibe in the evenings. This means the entire ski resort is buzzing with energy, offering guests numerous options to extend their skiing adventures into the night, whether that’s a chilled fireside cocktail lounge or a high-energy dance venue. At Grandvalira, the fun never stops, especially with the ski resort’s premium services.
