Hi Stevej,
Yes I can confirm there is free parking at the top of Avinguida d'Encamp, however it can be very difficult to get a space there, particularly at the weekend, best time to try is later on at night or very early in the morning avoiding the day trippers coming up from France. The car park can also get very snowy / icy so take care where you park to ensure you don't get stuck. I'm sure you will manage to get a space eventually, but if not be careful if parking on the street as they are very quick to tow / clamp illegally parked cars in Pas!

Hi Stevej,
I am unsure where you have been looking, but can confirm that I have used the car park at the top of Avinguida d'Encamp on a regular basis over the last five years and have never had to pay nor seen a ticket machine in the area, although I must admit have never tried to leave the car there overnight. The car park is at the top of the hill past the lift pass office and results in a dead end at the car park with the slopes (the kiddy area / snowgarden) directly in front. I cannot think where else you may have tried in this area? If this has changed it must have been a VERY recent development, I will check it out this week and see if there are different rules applied to long stay parking.
