I'm in a rush. But while I've skied in Andorra before, maybe there's an opportunity to ski in a new ski area, before exiting the country on our way to our next destination? Ski Camaro to the rescue. But it is a children's practice run. Is it really worth 43€ for the day ticket. And "no exceptions!", they said :-)
I'm kidding, that's obviously a silly question! Skiing is ALWAYS worth it :-)
I did get confused on the beginner lift though. It was one of those button lifts where the sticks stay on the starting point until they are launched by the skier. Usually this happens by pulling the stick forward or tripping a gate with your feet. But here... you had to press a big red button in a yellow box. I ignored it because it seemed like one of those emergency stop buttons that you also need on every ski lift. But it wasn't, it was the start button. Is this common? I have not run into it before...
Ski Canaro's web site is here. And while there would have been multiple ski areas to choose from, I wanted to avoid the sub-areas of Grandvalira where I've already skied at, plus wanted a quick entry and exit. Ski Canaro was in Soldeu, right on the road that was taking us towards France, so no extra time wasted. Good!
