VISITING ANDORRA?
The track is quite a challenge, the first wall is quite hard and you have to come out already very concentrated. Its orientation is northwest, so hard snow is usually found in the morning. The Avet track is a difficult track to go down, a demanding black slope, with two large walls divided, for a softer part in the middle of the course. Going down this track very fast requires a lot of technique, and if you hasten it is easy to lose control. We recommend sliding it at a moderate speed, despite its inclination, it is much more comfortable and safe to slide. The Avet piste is a must when you are in one of our Andorra vacation rentals.

The Avet Course was chosen to host the Worlds Women Alpine Skiing Cup in 2012, and World Cup Finals in 2016 and 2019.
