01 — Location
Positioned at 1,710 metres in Soldeu — Andorra's most prestigious ski village — at the very edge of the Grandvalira ski domain. Sport Hotel Hermitage occupies one of the most coveted positions in Pyrenean alpine hospitality.
Soldeu is Andorra's most internationally recognised ski address — a high-altitude village at 1,710 metres with direct access to Grandvalira's eastern sector and a refined mountain character distinct from the commercial bustle of the valley.
Sport Hotel Hermitage enjoys true ski-in ski-out positioning — guests step from the hotel directly onto the Grandvalira pistes and return the same way. This is among the most coveted positions in Pyrenean alpine hospitality.
Framed by Grandvalira's peaks on all sides, with unobstructed mountain views from the hotel's terraces and upper suites. The alpine setting shapes every aspect of the stay — light, air quality and the particular pleasure of waking above the snowline.
Located within the Soldeu-El Tarter sector — the eastern and most prestigious part of Grandvalira, connecting 210km of pistes across the principality's finest ski terrain.
Approximately 2.5 hours from Toulouse Blagnac and 3 hours from Barcelona El Prat by private road transfer. Helicopter access to selected mountain locations available on request.

It is one of the hotel's defining characteristics and the primary reason ski-focused clients choose it over other Andorran hotels.

It includes an indoor panoramic pool, thermal circuits (sauna, steam room, ice fountain), treatment rooms, relaxation areas and fitness facilities.
