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.

Carnival Week arrives at Grandvalira Resorts ski resorts

Many activities for the World Cup of skiing in Soldeu

The Avet slope in Soldeu will be the epicenter of alpine skiing this Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 with the celebration of the Women's Alpine Ski World Cup, where the best female skiers in the world will compete in the Slalom and Giant Slalom events.

The Grandvalira ski resort has prepared for the occasion a wide range of very attractive complementary activities for both ski enthusiasts and generalists: the Ski Festival. This recreational aspect of the event will take place at the World Cup Village, which this year will occupy the entire Soldeu platform during the weekend.

In addition to a gastronomic area, free ski tests will be organized for sports lovers, as well as leisure activities in the form of games, workshops, crafts, archery, axe throwing and even a children's escape room. The space will also have a great atmosphere with dance shows , DJ sessions, entertainment shows, autograph signing of skiers, and a giant screen to follow the Avet competition.

Soldeu converts the World Cup Village into the Ski Festival fair.

World Cup après-ski at L'Abarset

The adrenaline of the slopes will be followed by the permanent unbridled excitement of L'Abarset, the après-ski par excellence in the Pyrenees. After the public bib draw on Friday the 9th, a very special moment of the competition, DJ Lunnas and Patricia Mantovani will play music at the Tarter venue.

On Saturday 10th it will be the turn of Franky Rizardo and Edu Art, while on Sunday the closing of the World Cup will take place with the volunteers' party, where Las Castizos will occupy the booth to make the staff vibrate along with the residents Laeet and The Vittosky's.

The week will continue with great parties at L'Abarset with resident DJs Monday and Tuesday, the Urban Sounds by the hand of Blade on Wednesday, and San Miguel (never) chill Thursdays, which highlights A Flame Music, the trio formed by DJs Laeet, Patricia Mantovani and Blade.

The peak day will be Friday 16 with a new edition of the always successful Brunch Electronik that arrives in the snow with Miss Monique and Jan Blomqvist, while Saturday will close the carnival week.bado the carnival week will be closed by Barcelona's Paco Osuna, who will present his Now Here brand accompanied by Rafa Barrios and Manu Gonzalez in the booth.

The Soldeu 2024 World Cup party will move to l'Abarset

Snowrow preparty at CBbC Costa Rodona

The CBbC Costa Rodona in Pas de la Casa will be the setting for the Snowrow preparty this Saturday 10 with an après-ski party that will feature the rhythm of Bastian Bux, George Privatti, N!do and Laeet. Music will accompany the night skiing on the La Solana slope, which will remain open until 8 pm. It is worth remembering that the Snowrow festival will celebrate its second edition from April 4 to 7 and is already warming up.

High altitude dinners under the stars

If you are looking for a quieter but equally unforgettable experience, you can opt for a dinner under the stars of the Andorran mountains. In Grandvalira , the Bulthaup Grau Roig, the Brasería Piolet and the Vodka Bar in the Grau Roig ski area, and the Wine & Meat Bar by Jean Leon in Soldeu offer this option.

At the 3 Estanys restaurant it will be possible to dine on February 13, while at Pulka it will be possible every Saturday in February. The L'Abarset restaurant, meanwhile, offers its nightly menu every night except Saturdays. It should be remembered that these options are always subject to prior booking.

El Pla de la Cot in Pal Arinsal plans to open every Saturday in February, as well as on Friday, February 9 and March 13, to offer its high mountain menu in the evenings. Ordino Arcalís also opens the doors of its most iconic restaurant, La Coma, for magical dinners in the middle of the mountain. 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.
