Ski-in/ski-out
Pas de la Casa is a true ski-in, ski-out village. Lifts rise straight from the heart of town and several hotels sit right on the snow, so you can clip in at the door and ski back to your room at the end of the day.
Get to know the resort
Sitting at around 2050 m right on the pass between Andorra and France, Pas de la Casa is the highest and most snow-sure base in the Grandvalira domain. From the village you can ski the full Grandvalira lift pass, which connects Pas de la Casa with Grau Roig, Soldeu, El Tarter, Canillo and Encamp across roughly 210 km of pistes served by an extensive lift network. The altitude means reliable cover from December into April, while modern detachable chairs and gondolas make it easy to rack up serious mileage. Terrain suits every level, with gentle blues, plenty of cruising reds and a handful of steeper blacks dropping into the linked valleys. Off the snow, Pas de la Casa is built for value and fun. Duty-free Andorra keeps prices low on everything from lift passes and gear to perfume and electronics, and the compact village is packed with bars and clubs that turn it into one of the most reliable party towns in the Pyrenees. Add ski-in, ski-out hotels at the base, a young international crowd and quick access to the wider Grandvalira slopes, and you have a resort that delivers big skiing on a small budget.
