Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Folks I am considering a trip to this resort next February. I am going to fly to Barcelona then it's about 120km to the resort so am contemplating car hire Vs taxi/transfer.
I will be booking everything myself as it's what I like to do!
Any recommendations about getting a taxi or other travel thoughts and experiences.
Also anyone been to this resort and have anything good or bad to say!
Thanks so much in advance

With no obvious bus transfers like bens bus, I am a bit worried a private pre booked car might be unreliable! And also what happens if our plane is delayed!!
Maybe the slight stress of a car hire is actually not so bad
A conundrum! Especially for someone not so decisive like me!!
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We had a lovely lunch in Ax, while driving from Toulouse to the Grandvalira ski area. It was warm and sunny at half term. I did have a look at skiing there but there were many slow 2 person chairs that would have been difficult to get 2 children onto with 1 adult.
That 120km drive goes right over the Pyrenees. The section from Ax to the Andorra border is steep. Sounds like a hefty drive to a small ski area up from a spa town. I’d recommend flying to Toulouse or choosing a different ski area, closer to Barcelona. Look at La Molina in Spain, the 3 areas in Andorra and even Font Romeu or Les Angles in France.

We lived in Toulouse for three years. Had planned to meet friends in Soldeu but the snow said no. Skied in Aim instead. A very French resort, everything closed for lunch. In the queue to go back up, people were queue jumping. At which a beret wearing man said “ this isn’t the alpes you know, get back in the queue.” ( in French) they did. The black and the red are designated by a fence. But a lovely little resort. Only went there via Toulouse. When we did go to Soldeu, every time we were stopped by customs, who would ask what we had bought. Baguette and chocolate! They searched the car ( English plate) to find a baguette and chocolate
