Most of these resorts were once small mountain villages which have grown in recent years due to skiing.In recent years the resorts have all joined together so that your ski pass covers neighbouring areas. As a result there are now two large alpine skiing areas known as Vallnord and Grandvalira.

Vallnord covers Arcalis and the Arinsal-Pal ski area. Arcalis is quite distant away from Arinsal-Pal but the latter have been joined up in recent years by a cable car connecting the two ski areas. The Arisnal-Pal ski area is directly accessible from La Massana right from the middle of the town. 93 km 58 mi of pisses.

Grandvalira covers Soldeu and Pas de la Casa. The Soldeu ski area is also accessible from Encamp and Canillo. This quite cleverly has opened up these areas to cope with the influence of visitors without putting all the strain on Soldeu. It has 193 km of ski slopes between 1710-2640 m. The surface of grandvalira is about 1.926 H, and it's dividid in 6 different areas:

Pas de la Casa -- skiing resort located right on the French border.

Soldeu -- skiing resort

To work in Andorra you are supposed to have a work permit issued by the government. If you are on business for only a few days then this would not apply.
