Animations in the snow gardens, music and costume contest.

Throughout the week of Carnival, the snow gardens of Soldeu, El Tarter and Canillo will be filled with animations for children with costumes and more carnival-themed activities. The little skiers will be able to enjoy the resort's characters, Bababoom Bear and Yokai Ninja, who will be skiing down Soldeu and El Tarter in costume in the mornings, and the legendary characters of Mon(t) Magic in Canillo, who will also be skiing on the slopes of the ski area.

In the afternoons, shows, children's entertainment and various games are scheduled in the Soldeu, El Tarter and Canillo ski areas.

Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig and Encamp, meanwhile, encourage all children to dress up in costumes, both in the snow gardens and in the group lessons and in the Màgic Ski club, bringing color and fun to the slopes during this period.

The resort of Ordino Arcalís is joining in the fun with activities for children at the Màgic Ski club, for whom it has prepared chocolate egg showers and a costume parade, among other original activities.

On Valentine's Day, it will also be possible to participate in another contest in which, in this case, will be awarded the most romantic photograph also taken in an emblematic place of the resort. The winning couple will be able to improve their skiing thanks to a 4-hour Top Class session that includes the First Track activity first thing in the morning and behind closed doors, and a meal for two at the Portelles restaurant. It is necessary to consult the rules and conditions of both contests in the profiles of the resort.

On Saturday 10 and Wednesday 14, Ordino Arcalís skiers will be able to experience magic in Planells with the Mag Jorge show from 12:30 pm to 14:30 pm, and live DJ in La Coma from 12 pm to 15 pm. Weather permitting, the Kokoi Terrace of the Hortell will also have entertainment with a resident DJ on Saturdays from 3 pm to 5 pm.

Both restaurants are accessible by retrac, skis or snowshoes, an activity that will complete the adventure, for which it is necessary to book in advance.
