ABOUT THE TRIP
We love our Andorra Snow Weekend Break! Just up the road from Barcelona, this tax-free principality is great for skiing and snowboarding, partying and escaping to the mountains for a weekend.
Our trips depart Barcelona every Friday night.
The next morning we drag our sorry asses out of bed and hit the slopes since the alpine air makes for the perfect hangover cure. After an exhausting day of shredding we head down and suit up for the night. Stoke Travel is buying dinner and maybe even a round of shots, before once again stomping our way to dance floor glory around Andorra’s many bars, chances are this one will be a late one.
We’re up bright and early again on the Sunday for one last day of shredding before heading back to Barcelona in the late evening. We’re going to be tired, we’re going to be sore, we’re going to be hungover but by golly are we going to be happy!

Tour Location
The Pyrenees, Andorra
Squeezed in between Spain and France high in the Pyrenees, Andorra is usually omitted from most travelers’ itineraries. Well it shouldn’t be! It’s right next to Barcelona, so beautiful your eyes will weep snow flakes. Tax free snow flakes!
That’s right, Andorra is tax free, so drinking, smoking and pornography is cheaper here than in other European countries. Hooray!
We will be skiing and boarding in the glorious Vallnord resort on two main slopes, check out the stats…
