Last winter, the tour operator Quality Travel arranged a charter trip from Skellefteå Airport to snow-sure Andorra and the Spanish Pyrenees. The trip was a success with many ski enthusiasts from northern Sweden on board and now the tour operator chooses
Q Travel to offer the same ski experience from Skellefteå Airport next winter.
Quality Travel works with accessibility and proximity by focusing on departures directly from Swedish regional airports. After the pandemic years, traffic was restarted last winter and it was an immediate success. Coming winter 2027, direct flights to the winter paradise of Andorra and the Spanish Pyrenees will be offered again from Skellefteå.
- We want more people to have the opportunity to discover Andorra – one of Europe's sunniest and most affordable ski destinations. By flying from Skellefteå where we reach travelers from all over Norrland, we make it easier and more convenient for our customers, says Alexander Jacobsson at Quality Travel.
Shorter travel time via new destination
For the winter of 2026/2027, arrivals will be moved to Toulouse, replacing the previous airport in Lleida. For travelers, the change means a shorter travel time of approximately 30 minutes compared to previous years, and thus a smoother overall travel experience.
- Andorra has become a favorite among our guests, thanks to the combination of snow-sure skiing, fantastic food, over 300 days of sunshine per year and our Swedish guides on site. Now we are making it even easier for all northerners to get there, continues Alexander Jacobsson.
An old gem is back! – now with Swedish guide service
Finally, the destination Baqueira with Swedish guide service is back.
Baqueira is a ski resort at 1,500 meters above sea level with a genuine mountain feel, where you have direct access to Spain's largest ski system. Quality Travel's selected hotels are within walking distance of the cable car and where skiing awaits around the corner. Here you can enjoy local delicacies in cozy restaurants, stroll among the shops and share the slopes with the Spanish royal family who like to vacation here. The atmosphere is calm and pleasant, perfect for those who appreciate good skiing, cozy dinners and relaxing evenings rather than intense nightlife.
- It's hard not to fall in love with Baqueira. Here you get Spain's best skiing combined with charming restaurants, a genuine village feel and a tranquility that is hard to find in many of the larger ski resorts in the Alps.” – says Alexander Jacobsson
- We are very pleased that Quality Travel chooses Skellefteå Airport as the departure point for the whole of northern Sweden. We know that there are many interested ski travelers in Skellefteå and through our geographical location we also reach travelers from surrounding cities so this will certainly be a fully booked flight to a snowy and sunny Andorra says Robert Lindberg, CEO at Skellefteå Airport.
The flight to Andorra and the Spanish Pyrenees from Skellefteå Airport will take place during the sports break week 10, 7–14 March 2027, and is already bookable. The flight will take place as before with a stopover in Gothenburg for boarding passengers.
