The popular Cota 1.300 après-ski event in Ordino will run for an extra week, wrapping up on March 7 with a special edition marking International Women's Day.
Organised by the Ordino council, the event was originally set to end this Saturday but has been extended due to strong recent turnout. It kicks off daily at 5pm in Plaça de la Closa, just as the ski slopes close, with a highlight ABBA tribute concert by The Swing Girls & The Dancing Queen scheduled for 6pm on the final day.
Now in its second year, Cota 1.300 expanded from four to six weekends after a positive reception last winter. Early sessions this season struggled with snow and cold weather, leading to low attendance and even some cancellations. Council staff responded by erecting tents to shield visitors from the elements. Better conditions in the past two weeks have boosted numbers, with more than 100 people attending each of the latest sessions—matching or exceeding last year's figures.
