The Skiers' Guide to Grandvalira: Pas de la Casa

Great resort, good apre , cheap and cheerful accommodation, great skiing and night skiing is a bonus

It was a really lovely resort with great accommodation. There was a wide range of runs for all abilities and preferences. Loads of cafes and bars scattered around the resort. Snow was not at its best in april but still good fun.

very mellow resort with good variety of slopes for all abilities, particularly good for lower to upper intermediates to push themselves within their comfort zone.

Really enjoyed a long weekend to Pas de le Casa for a second time visiting the resort. This time we had crazy amounts of snowfall during the day but there’s so much to do in the town if skiing is out of the question. Great restaurant selections and bars. Some good bars on the slopes too if you have good weather. Pas town has a bit of a party vibe so the cheaper accommodation can be a bit rowdy.

Great resort, just the right size to not have to repeat yourself too much during a week's holiday. Great lifts, never waited long.

Crowded resort with unchallenging slopes - mostly ideal for beginners. Majority of blue runs and very easy red runs

Good value for money with cheap drinks and food. Not a massive ski area so more of a party destination than expert long ski days

You get what you pay for which is not bad at all. Snow conditions aren't typically great but there enough snow making facilities. Apres is great, people are friendly, food is fantastic. Ski area is huge as well.

Really good resort for beginner skiers. The last run down into Pas is quite a tough red so just be cautious of that. Not great snow later in the season but the town is great for both the day and night skiing and apres.

First family ski holiday. Could not have gone any better. Excellent ski school for the wife and kids. The resort is lively but not Ibiza lively, we were never awakened at night.

Food choices were brilliant for anyone with kids. Loved the whole experience. 3rd time for me.

Stayed at the Olympic which was clean, comfy and friendly.

Overall this resort is very good for all levels of skiers, and when there has been sufficient levels of snow it opens up a vast area with something for everyone. It's also probably the cheapest resort we've ever visited. For these reasons we would return.
Two downsides are that your mobile data doesn't work here so every text, every message and every call costs you, and it can mount up over a week. The other is that the transfer is over 3 hours.

Pas is great, plenty of ski in ski out accommodation options. Lots of bars and restaurants surrounding the main chair lift up the valley.

Didnt know this before going, but there was approximately 3 different festivals on around / after our trip. Managed to catch a couple of DJs below our hotel on the last few nights. The first few nights we had just missed one, and after we left - Elrow was on so check for anything like this before you go :)

Plenty of great ski pistes for all levels - enjoyed the blue and red runs just as much as the black runs. Theres also plenty of off-piste options as well if thats your cup of tea.

Pas itself has lots of super markets etc, we stayed in a room with a hob available so could make meals through the week. There was a good mix of other skiers and boarders to meet out there and plenty of fun to be had!

Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try skiing or if you want a bit pf a party vibe whilst also skiing.

Pas is also great for shopping, on the weekend the town gets noticeably busier with people coming in from France & Spain to shop, ski and leisure.

10/10 Would go back!

We stayed at Pas de la Casa for new years and had a blast! Grandvalira is a huge ski field so would definitely recommend a few days to get your bearings and have a feel for the different slopes and terrains available. Spanish, French and Catalan are the predominant languages spoken. Despite the slight language barrier, the people in the town were friendly and we had no issues getting rental gear and lift passes. My friends had signed up for ski and snowboard lessons, mixture of private and group classes. Many ski instructors didn't speak English and the quality of the teaching varied between instructors. We enjoyed the Apres ski regrettably missed the night skiing available! In the evenings we wined and dined at the at the Hotel Sporting restaurant, Cava Roca Grill Bar and other Spanish and Italian restaurants nearby. There hadn't been a lot of snow the days leading up to New Years and we were told by locals end of January was a better time. Until next time, Pas de la Casa!

I enjoyed my visit to Andorra - the snow was good quality and I enjoyed the option of the lift pass where lunch vouchers were included.

Resorts are well maintained and groomed, and there are little queues. I found it was very good value for money for a smaller resort.

I had some mixed ability in my group and everyone enjoyed the trip.

Lifts are plenty but dont link up resorts well
Very well cannoned
Loads of bars and pubs and restaurants
Interesting culture
Loads of fast food options too, Mcdonalds, Burger King, Popeyes, Tim Hortons!
Lots of ski schools that can take up the slopes at times.
Lots of nice cruisey blues.

Great report, good for all level,s, transfer a bit long. Def go back again . Good mixture of runs , with some tree lined runs

Went on a uni ski trip and was all round a good time. Good skiing and great nightlife. Downside is there seems to be an issue with drink spiking so be extra vigilant.

Great resort for a uni trip, went at the end of the season so snow wasnt great but very good apres ski and bar / club options

Visited Andorra as a first time skier and left after a full day of reds, a great resort to hone your skills. The resort is connected to many others with plenty of intermediate runs to get you there so I didnt struggle after finding my feet. Apres was so so, we still made the most of it. The food within pas was delicious, especially the LHusky burger straight off the slopes, Id definitely go again.

This year was the first time visiting Andorra . I think that was one of the best skiing experiences ever. Family friendly, excellent food, lovely slopes. We will definitely come back soon!!
Thank you Andorra!
