Andorra opens early

Record breaking early snow falls has allowed Andorran ski resorts to open early this year.

Resorts in both the Grandvalira and Vallnord valleys will be fully open by Friday (November 28) ready for the weekend.

Snow has been falling in the Pyrenees since early October and the resorts have been busy preparing the slopes.

ââ¬ÅâœThe conditions are near perfect and we just had to open to take advantage of the situation," said Marta Rotes, director of Ski Andorra.

ââ¬ÅâœWith a good base layer of over 85 cms of snow, on average across the resorts, we look forward to a great season and welcoming our UK repeat and first time visitors over the next five months."
