Description
Ski & Wine Weekender,
Andorra
All-inclusive weekend trips from Barcelona. We take care of the transport, the food and the wine, the lift pass, the ski hire, the twin-share slope-side accommodation and help with the parties. We also fill a bus with an amazing crew, which is probably the best part of the whole trip.

Our Only Weekend Ski & Wine Trip
These are our only weekend trips, because we know while you’d love the full week Alps experience, sometimes life just doesn’t allow it. So because of that we’ve made these trips as convenient and fun-filled as possible. Two days to ski, two nights to party. Three dates across January and February only. You and 50 new best friends.
1800+ happy skiers and boarders (and a handful who did neither) have joined us and Stoke Travel on this trip.
Our newest Ski & Wine adventure, and one of the best yet.
Don’t Take Our Word For It
I was nervous going as a solo traveller — but complete strangers from all corners of the world became something that felt like family. I found my people immediately. Best trip ever.
My group was welcomed with open arms and we ended up making friends that will last a lifetime. I will be sure to go again!
Left with 30 new best friends, a second home in the après scene… minimal sleep, maximum serotonin. 10/10.
What our guests say about Swallow Don’t Spit Wine trips.
It’s The Crew, It’s The Bus, It’s The Vibe
Like all of our trips we make this a super social one, and while we won’t be spending a week together in a chalet, we will be riding the party bus up together, fitting our boots together, falling on the slopes together, dancing on tables at après together, tasting delicious Catalan wines together, dining together, doing shots and dancing together and waking up to do it all again together. Arrive alone or with your crew and leave with a bus full of friends.
Not Many People Have Skied Here
Unlike the super popular French & Italian Alps, Andorra and the Pyrenees sort of slide under the radar, but here’s what makes this place fascinating. Andorra is the world’s 16th smallest country with the highest capital city in Europe. It’s a duty-free shopper’s paradise and the only country with Catalan as its official language. You can tick this European nation off your list AND get some runs in the Pyrenees while you’re at it.
The Pyrenees are high, and older than the Alps, and our home base of Pal Arinsal has 63kms of marked runs, broken into 7 green runs, 17 blue runs, 17 red runs and 4 black runs. It’s perfect for a weekend of skiing for absolute beginners, intermediate skiers and hot dog skiing/boarding legends will find some fun in the trees, the park, and on the faster runs (which all lead to apres).
Not All-Inclusive But Definitely Almost All Inclusive
Because this is our trip specifically for the busy bees we’re including more in these package, so coach, hotel, breakfast and dinner, pass, skis or board, wine, hosts, all booked. You pack a bag. Lunch on the mountain and drinks at night are the only things that you have to get.
There’s No Wine In Andorra
Or not much, but don’t worry because the surrounding Catalan regions produce plenty. We include wine with dinner, and enough of it to get the conversations flowing and your dance floor hips moving. And if you want to know more about the local wines, Spanish wines, and wine in general then join our masterclass with our sommeliers, who will do two one-hour sessions before dinner and leave you with a certificate declaring your Catalan wine expertise.
We Leave Friday Morning
Friday
From Barcelona, not too early. Cruise through Catalunya and up into the Pyrenees. We stop for a little truck stop lunch, and people get a chance to restock their road beers. Then it’s up into Andorra, ticking a new country off the list and into our mountain town of Arinsal. Then we check into our rooms, fit our ski hire gear, and explore the village before the optional wine tasting, dinner with more wine, and then to the bars and clubs up and down the strip until whatever o’clock suits you.
Saturday
We pound the breakfast, and then everyone makes their way to the gondola and up to the mountain. If you’ve got lessons, you do them, otherwise we’ll self organise into groups of people of similar ability and go out and explore. We catch up for lunch (or beers before lunch) and then ski some more before apres up the mountain, another apres in the village, dinner, more wine, and another night of partying.
Sunday
We do the same again, except we wrap up the skiing by the afternoon and head back down the mountain, arriving in Barcelona Sunday night, exhausted but happy, and with a camera roll full of memories.

FAQ
Completely. Most of our guests arrive solo, and the trip starts on the bus — by the time you hit the slopes Saturday morning you’ll already have a group.
Not at all. Everyone self-organises into groups of similar ability once we’re up the mountain, and lessons are available to book as an add-on if you want a proper start.
Yes — ski or snowboard hire costs exactly the same either way.
Of course. It’s as much about the company and the evening as the wine itself, and there’s zero pressure either way.
No — glasses, wine and hosts are all provided. Just turn up.
Hire covers skis or board, boots and poles — bring your own ski jacket, salopettes, gloves and layers, plus normal clothes for the evenings.
Yes. It’s just €5 to secure your spot, then spread the rest on a monthly plan with the balance cleared 60 days before you travel.
Your deposit’s non-refundable. Cancel more than 60 days before you travel and you’ll get a full refund of what you’ve paid, minus the deposit. 30–59 days out, it’s 50% back. Inside 30 days, there’s no refund. Full terms are on our terms and conditions page.
We leave from Barcelona Sants (the train station). Be there by 10am on the Friday — the coach pulls out at 11am sharp. Heading home on the Sunday, the coach leaves Andorra at 3pm, but traffic means we don’t always get back to Sants until as late as 8pm. Book your flight or train home for the latest realistic option, not an early evening one, so a delay doesn’t cost you your connection.
18+, this trip only.
Yes — book together at checkout, any group size.
Three weekends, fifty new mates, one unreal mountain — come and see for yourself.
