Living in Soldeu, cradle of the Andorran skiing
With a population estimated according to the department of statistics of Andorra of 636 people at the end of 2017, Soldeu is a small population centre of the Principality of Andorra, located at the km. 19 of the CG-2 road and just seven kilometers away from the town of Canillo, 114 km away from the Pas de la Casa and 6.5 km away from Grau Roig.
Historically, the municipality of Soldeu has been considered the cradle of the Andorran skiing. A recognition that is not trivial, since it was in this idyllic high mountain village where the history of skiing in Andorra began in 1924. Everything happened just at the time when a Soldeu inhabitant decided to replace the rackets he used to make his routes by two wooden boards. From that moment on Soldeu's link with the world of snow continued its path, to the point of fully consolidating in 1963, the year when the Baró, Salvans and Torrallardona families created the ski slopes of Soldeu, which were later renamed as Soldeu - El Tarter. Thanks to the efforts of these families, Soldeu currently enjoys a strategic situation, being its sector, with the legendary Avet slope, where the World and European FIS Cups are held, an emblematic place of Grandvalira.
In relation to the environment, Soldeu combines, in a genuine way, a landscape of overwhelming beauty with incredible views towards the forests that surround the valley; with the traditional Pyrenean architecture that can still be seen in the most remote places of the Principality.
In summer the incomparable environment of Soldeu hosts the highest golf course in Europe, located at 2,250 meters of altitude and with an area of 16 hectares. The circuit has been harmoniously integrated to its natural environment, taking advantage of the topography and the natural elements of the place, being the most 'green' space of the domain.
Featured sites of Soldeu
- Located in the centre of the urban area and with a transport capacity of 2000 people per hour, the Soldeu cable-car is the best option to access, quickly and conveniently, the Pla d'Espiolets, the sector's reference point, at 2,250 meters of altitude. In addition, those who decide to ski down can also use the new 6-seater chairlift, that runs parallel to the cable-car and which restarted in 2006.
- The Avet slope is, without any doubt, the emblem of the Soldeu ski sector. Chosen in 2012 as the venue for the Women's World Cup Alpine Skiing, the slope offers a classic layout towards the north west, ideal for the slalom practice. In addition, since 2007, all its route is approved by the International Ski Federation (FIS). The Soldeu cable-car and also with the six-seater chairlift give access to this track.
- 1 km away from Incles Valley, starting point of the emblematic hikes to the lake and refuge of Cabana Sorda, the lake and guarded refuge of Juclar and the Siscaró Lake.
- The Soldeu Golf Course has been designed to adapt to all levels. It has a total of 9 holes for 33 and a golf academy where to improve the technique.
- Located in the centre of Soldeu, the Sport Hotel Hermitage & Spa is the only 5-star hotel in Andorra at the foot of the slopes of Grandvalira. It is a new concept of high standing hotel, which not only stands out for its enviable location, in the middle of nature and in a privileged enclave for the practice of all kinds of high mountain sports; but also for the luxury and quality of all the hotel facilities. Three of the six gastronomic restaurants of the Hotel are run by the prestigious Michelin star chefs Nandu Jubany and Hideki Matsuhisa. In addition, the Hotel Hermitage has the Sport Wellness Mountain Spa, one of the most exclusive thermal centers in the Principality
- Soldeu is also a reference municipality for snow and freestyle lovers, being the Grandvalira Sunset Park Peretol, recently renamed Sunset Park Henrik Harlaut, one of the main attractions for thousands of riders. This snowpark, located in the area of Grau Roig and easily accessible by road, is the only one that allows snow practice at night. This unique feature makes the Peretol Sunset Park a place of pilgrimage for some of the best riders on the international scene, who go to this facility ready to perform their best tricks and jumps.
- Culturally, the main attraction of Soldeu is the Church of Sant Bartomeu, a Romanesque style chapel built in the seventeenth century and dedicated to Sant Bartomeu. Located at the east end of Soldeu, this chapel, declared as a good of cultural interest, was the former private chapel of Casa Molines and, later, until 1915, of the Calbó family. Among all its decoration, it is worth mentioning the presence of a fifteenth century baldachin, the only one that is currently preserved in the Principality, with Gothic ornamental elements, as well as a painting of the glorification of Jesus Christ.
