High Altitude Skiing in the Heart of the Pyrenees
Perched at 2,080 metres, Pas de la Casa is the highest ski resort in the Pyrenees and the gateway to Grandvalira – Andorra’s largest and most extensive ski area. With snow-sure slopes, modern lifts, and tax-free shopping, Pas offers a unique mix of high-altitude skiing, affordability, and a buzzing, youthful energy.
Just over the French border, this mountain town has earned a reputation for great value skiing and reliable snow from early December into April. Whether you’re chasing long, open groomers, looking to build confidence, or simply want a lively and convenient resort base, Pas de la Casa delivers.
The Ski Area
- Part of the Grandvalira ski area – over 210 km of connected pistes
- Linked resorts include Soldeu, El Tarter, Grau Roig, and Encamp
- Altitude: 2,080m–2,640m – one of the highest resorts in the Pyrenees
- Snow reliability is excellent, especially early and late season
- Wide range of slopes: from beginner-friendly greens to reds and high alpine bowls
- Fast, modern lift infrastructure including chairs and gondolas
- Terrain parks and freeride zones for more adventurous skiers
Pas de la Casa is known for its open, treeless slopes, ideal for visibility and progression. The Grau Roig sector offers some of the best intermediate and off-piste terrain in the Grandvalira area – a quieter and more scenic alternative just a short traverse away.
The Village
Pas de la Casa is compact, energetic, and built with skiers in mind. Nearly all accommodation is ski-in/ski-out or a short walk to the lifts. The village has a mix of lively après-ski bars, international restaurants, and duty-free shopping, making it a popular choice for those who want good skiing by day and social buzz by night.
While it has a reputation for nightlife, it’s entirely possible to enjoy a quieter week here – especially outside peak holiday dates.
