Soldeu and the village of El Tarter were linked in the 1981-82 season, and in the 2003-04 season, it was linked with Pas de la Casa, Canillo and the Grau Roig. The linking of these resorts creates the massive Grandvalira ski area, with 205km of slopes that are perfectly suited for intermediates. The Grau Roig known by the locals, as “Grau” is an amazing uninhabited area between Soldeu and Pas de la Casa, that has some fantastic views and runs down to Lake Pessons. We have some great value Soldeu ski holiday packages to choose from, where it is possible to fly from your local airport.
Soldeu and El Tarter are 2 separate villages, but are often referred to as one due to their close proximity to one another. Soldeu is lively and has a great ambiance and often attracts a younger crowd. The village has a great rustic feel with its traditional inns known by the locals as “bordas” and with many other bars and clubs open late. In contrast El Tarter is much quieter than Soldeu.
