I did complete my task earlier than expected, and was "rewarded" with a trip to ski resort. Since the client invited to have a visit to the ski resort, why not as I just love to visit places that I never been before. According to Tripadvisor, this is #1 attractions in Andorra.

We reached the ticket counter, and after a short while I was given with a ticket to enter the resort. There was an event recently, a major ski event. We were using the cable car going up the hill.

On the way up, manage to snap few photos. There are lot of accommodation available, the nearest to the resort. However, this is a bit far from the town. Nevertheless, Andorra is just a small country, so if one has their own transportation, this wouldn't be an issue. I love the accommodation over here as it is facing the snowy hill.

If I were to visit Andorra on my own, I would prefer to stay here as well enjoying the breathtaking scenery.

Once we reached the top, there is a shop that allows you engage in the activity that you would like. Be it renting the equipment or even enroll in the skiing school. The one that attracted me most was the school teaching the little kid. I mean this is pretty new for myself as there is none ski resort back in Malaysia.

Not sure why the skis all over the place outside the shop, but who cares?

I guess this slope is meant for the advance skier, pretty steep. Couldn't see anyone trying on this slope while I was there. However, according to the client, the area here has lot of place where one can ski. So it's pretty easy for everyone to enjoying their ski activities here.

This slope for normal users. Not that steep compared with the previous photo. Though been visited few ski resort before, I never try any of them. Looks tempting to try once in future.

After walking around the resort, it was time to relax and have a place to sit down. There is a place set up for the visitor to hang around. Open air, you could buy drinks and engage in some activities to get some gifts. It's pretty cool, the place is looking after the slope and enjoying people skiing around the places. On top of that, the panorama view is awesome.

No need to worry if the phone runs out of battery, this place also provides the cable for one to charging their phone. Hence could constantly keep in touch with everyone, and most likely to take photos and shares with friends without worry battery runs out. I didn't try it out, not sure it still could work under the freezing temperature.

If too cold, the kiosk also provided heater. However, today's the weather extremely perfect. In fact, I found it little warm as no cloud today and direct sunlight. We spent some time here chit chatting before going downhill and back to hotel.

Without my client, I don't think I could enjoy this place and more importantly the view. Just hope that I could come back to this little town during winter time and back to the resort once more.
