Luxury holidays in Incles Valley

Close to Andorra’s north-east border with France, the Incles Valley is the stuff of dreamy screensavers with its Pyrenean peaks, grassy troughs and placid pastures. Close by lies the immensely popular Grandvalira ski resort and historic Soldeu village, but in this time-slows-down spot you’re more likely to hang out with flocks of sheep. That’s not to say it's dull – in fact, things ramp up fast on the ski slopes and with heart-pounding winter sports: snowmobiling, mushing and the like. And in summer, you can conquer the mighty surrounding mountains and tackle undulating trails.

When to go

For snow days visit from December to March – keep in mind roads may not be as easy to navigate. For a spot of sun and happy wanderings visit from April to October.

Getting there

  • Planes

    From the French side, fly into Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, which is around a two-and-a-half-hour drive from the valley; flights arrive here from major cities around Europe. From the Spanish side, arrive at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, which is around three hours away by car.

  • Trains

    If you’re travelling around Europe by train or fancy a more scenic route, TER Occitanie runs trains into Andorra direct from Toulouse Matabiau Station to Gare d'Andorre-L'Hospitalet, just a 35-minute drive from the valley, and SNCF’s Intercités de Nuit service runs an overnight service here from Paris.

  • Automobiles

    A car will come in very handy here, unless you have the constitution of a mountain goat. And, your driving efforts will be rewarded with views of snowy glades and Alpine pastures. From Barcelona, follow the C-16 route north, then the N-20 route in southern France and the CG-2 route in Andorra. From Toulouse, follow the A66, A61 and N20 routes, then change to the CG-2 in Andorra.
