Information About Pas de la Casa

This lively resort (referred to locally as Pas) is situated just a few hundred metres from the French border in the parish of Encamp. The resort sits at an altitude of 2050m with the highest lift at 2640m making Pas the highest resort in the Pyrenees. Due to its superb location (and heavy investment in artificial snow making) Pas enjoys an excellent snow record complimented by plenty of blue skies and sunshine.

The first mechanical ski lift in Andorra was opened at Coll Blanc, Pas de la Casa in 1957 by the Andorran ski pioneer Francesc Viladomat, this is where the first Andorran ski resort Pas de la Casa – Grau Roig was born. The area was developed rapidly over the years, most notably in recent years being the link up of Pas de la Casa – Grau Roig with the neighbouring resorts of Soldeu, El Tarter, Canillo and Encamp during the 2003-04 season to create the impressive Grandvalira ski area, which now offers 193km of piste, forming the largest skiable domain in the Pyrenees. Grandvalira has a very modern and efficient lift system to transport skiers and snowboarders around the large variety of slopes it has to offer.
