Notes from nearby Andorra la Vella (146 km away)
Tossa de Mar doesn't have its own notes for January yet — these are about Andorra la Vella, close enough to share the season.
Andorra's forum rates January and February as solid ski months, with regulars noting the resorts' snowmaking keeps slopes covered even in a lean natural-snow year.
