Conditions remain a little challenging in Andorra’s Vallnord resort.

Snow conditions in Vallnord, Andorra, remain a little less than perfect despite good snowfalls towards the end of January and temperatures remaining low enough for snowmaking guns to fire up.

Whilst the Alps in central Europe have had good snowfalls in recent days, and continue to do so, some other European mountain ranges have not been so lucky as yet, and the Pyrenees between France and Spain, with Andorra sandwiched in between, to the south of the continent, is amongst them.
