Chalet Motxo (El Tarter), Soldeu and El Tarter, Andorra

Guests return to Chalet Motxo (pronounced mot-show) year after year for its warm welcome, traditional charm and home-from-home feel. Built from local stone and wood, this characterful mountain retreat is full of authentic touches, from comfy leather sofas and a classic grandfather clock to ornate murals and vintage cast-iron radiators. Cosy bedrooms all come with ensuite facilities, and some offer balconies with sweeping views across the resort and surrounding slopes.

Step inside Chalet Motxo, then head out to explore the ski area that keeps skiers coming back for more. Cosy corners, mountain views and plenty of reasons to hit the slopes.

Holiday highlights

Go big with more miles

With the 210km Grandvalira ski area practically on your doorstep, Chalet Motxo puts a huge mountain playground within easy reach. From confidence-building cruisers to terrain parks and kilometre after kilometre of piste, there's something for every kind of skier. Evenings are more laid-back here, but mountain lunches and piste-side pit stops are all part of the fun.

Our mountain experts

New to the ski area? Our free Mountain Expert service has you covered. Join fully qualified instructors for guiding sessions to help you get your bearings, plus coaching to build confidence and improve your technique.

Around the resort

While skiing is the main event, El Tarter offers plenty to enjoy away from the slopes. Spend lazy afternoons on sun-soaked terraces and at stylish mountain bars, soaking up the resort's laid-back après scene. Or venture to nearby L'Abarset when you're in the mood for something livelier. And, thanks to Andorra's duty-free status, a spot of shopping is practically part of the itinerary.

Afternoon tea (Perfect post-ski treat)

There’s nothing quite like coming back to the chalet to freshly baked cakes and biscuits. Afternoon tea is served daily, giving you the perfect excuse to warm up, refuel and put your ski-booted feet up after a day on the mountain.

Aperitif or Après (What's your tipple)

The Motxo keeps things peaceful, so for a pre-dinner drink or post-piste tipple, you’ll head next door. Join fellow guests at the Chalet Hotel Casale or the Hotel Del Clos, where there’s evening entertainment too, or a short stroll into the village for that cosy bar feel. Whether it’s a drink to toast the day on the slopes or a nightcap before bed, there’s a spot to suit.

The chalet sleeps up to 24 people in 11 large, light and simply furnished rooms. Most rooms are twins but there are two triples and each has its own ensuite with a shower and wc. You'll also find luxurious TEMPLESPA toiletries in each bathroom.
