Aparthotel Olimpiades, Pas De La Casa, Andorra

The Aparthotel Olimpiades is ideally located right next to the slopes, meaning you can pop on your skis and zoom down to the lifts in seconds. Jump on and you’ll be transported up the mountain where you can pick from 210km of routes, some which head over to Soldeu and El Tarter. At the end of the day, you’ll have a choice of runs back down to the hotel – intermediates will savour Tubs blue, while kids will love gliding through the Imaginarium Forest. Of an evening walk down to the Carrer de la Solana and you’ll be on the resort’s main high street. For a quick bite to eat, there’s a Burger King and a McDonalds, and for late-night revellers there’s a choice of bars like KYU, Underground Bar and Milwaukee.

The great-value Aparthotel Olimpiades has one of the most convenient locations in Pas de la Casa – there’s direct access to the largest ski area in the Pyrenees and you’re just a minute’s walk from the heart of the buzzing Andorran resort. And when we say direct access, we mean that you’re literally right on the slopes – so close that you can watch the ski lift zoom past your window.

With Tetras-like windows and coloured rings mounted high on its exterior, the modular appearance of the Aparthotel Olimpiades really stands out.

Inside, the apartments are stylishly designed, with a mixture of cool colours and modern furnishings. Each have a functional kitchenette and clean, contemporary bathrooms and shower rooms, too.

There’s also easy access to the terrace on the bottom floor where you can stop for a bite to eat at any time of the day – from morning omelettes and lunchtime pizzas to real winter-warmer dishes like tartiflette – or relax with a post-ski drink when the famed local après kicks off – the happy hour is not one to be missed.
