Soldeu is part of the great Grandvalira region, which incorporates neighbour and former arch rival Pas de La Casa and has four other resort bases.
Although all the bases are well linked into the ski area and each has its own facilities, it's important to be aware that they are all a few miles apart by bus. Thus Soldeu and El Tarter for example, sometimes lumped together as one resort name, are in fact two separate villages a little way apart.
The combined area has rapidly grown, with an exceptional fleet of state-of-the-art high-capacity chairlifts and swish gondolas, to be one of the world's 50 largest. Despite the rapid expansion, Soldeu has maintained high environmental standards and is one of the few resorts worldwide that has adopted the ISO 14001 international environmental management system.

Soldeu has also moved dramatically upmarket, opening a selection of extremely nice hotels and other quality services. As the price of the weekly lift ticket has risen to match, it can no longer realistically be thought of as cheap - with the exception of the continuing duty-free shopping.
Location:
Soldeu is part of the Grandvalira ski resort which takes up much of the eastern half of the small principality of Andorra. Andorra is sandwiched between Spain to the west and France to the east in the Pyrenean mountains and is about 160km (100 miles) north of the Mediterranean Sea.
