These activities are designed for all ages, adding variety to a winter holiday. The sector’s adventurous spirit, combined with its natural beauty, makes it a standout destination for those seeking excitement both on and off the slopes.
For dining, Grau Roig offers a selection of exceptional restaurants. The Refugi del Llac de Pessons provides a traditional mountain dining experience with dishes like trinxat and escudella, set in a stunning lakeside location. The Vodka Bar serves gourmet snacks alongside premium wines and vodkas, and its evening menu is a treat for foodies.
