Ski Holidays in Pas De La Casa

Probably best known for its après ski culture and long sunny days, Pas is the liveliest ski village in Andorra and with boundless opportunities both on and off the slopes, you may well be in need of another holiday when you get back. As part of the largest ski domain in the Pyrenees, the skiing is not to be sniffed at - and with cut price heli-skiing on the cards it’s a brilliant choice as a second trip for snowsports aficionados.

Not only is Pas de la Casa the highest ski resort in the Pyrenees (it sits at a lofty 2100m), but it’s also the sunniest. The après ski scene is arguably one of the best in Europe, and the resort is also home to some of the best shopping in the country… so far, so good!

The first lift was installed by ski legend Francesc Viladomat in 1956, and the resort has been growing ever since. The village of Grau Roig was soon incorporated into the ski area, and when the resorts joined forces (and linked lifts) with Soldeu-el Tarter in 2003, they became known as Grandvalira, and formed the largest ski area in the Pyrenees.

Pas itself is physically very close knit- the main bars, restaurants and hotels are all located around a central strip making everything incredibly accessible. With low drinks prices, an abundance of free shots and late opening times throughout the resort, the après ski alone is enough to justify a visit.

In fact, the town’s architecture is one of the only areas in which Pas de La Casa is lacking, and appears to have been inspired by an art deco housing project. However, after a few free shots (which are often handed out like confetti) the visual appeal of your hotel is likely to become much less of an issue...

With such focus on the off slope attractions, it’s easy to forget about the skiing you’ll have access to. There’s a great selection of runs for all abilities - 210km in total served by 64 modern lifts which can whisk 100,700 snow lovers up the mountain every hour. The area includes Soldeu-El Tarter, Encamp, Grau Roig and Canillo as well as Pas alongside some fantastic freeriding, 3 well maintained snow parks, a permanent boarder cross course and 3 snow circuits for the kids.

The nearest airport to Pas De La Casa is Barcelona at 175 km or about 4 hours by car.

What is Pas De La Casa like for Beginner skiers?

The beginner's area at the base of the valley has a few incredibly gentle lifts and approachable nursery slopes and at the end of the day all levels of skier can ski right down into the village – the red/blue Tubs will take you virtually to the door of your hotel.

What is Pas De La Casa like for Intermediate skiers?

There’s more advanced terrain just over the mountain at Grau Roig- most of the runs here are red and black – though the gentle blue Pastora, which takes you down into the centre is the route favoured by the many intermediates on the way over to Soldeu. Here, the two six-seater Pla de les Pedres lifts are amongst the most popular in resort and open up both sides of the mountain. The surrounding areas are an intermediates paradise, with a massive selection of red and blue runs- if you’re adept at reading pistemaps you’ll be able to pick a route that starts at the peak of the Collada D’Enradort and winds its way all the way down to the village of Soldeu.

What is Pas De La Casa like for Advanced skiers?

Advanced skiers and boarders will also feel at home over here and will find the Snowpark El Tarter (expertly maintained by the staff at Coliflor freestyle), some technical mogul runs, and more designated freeriding areas.

What is Pas De La Casa like for snowboarding?

Overall there are four snowparks in the vicinity, and with some of the longest riding hours around (the parks are often open until well into the evening), unprecedented amounts of sunshine and fantastic park grooming, Grandvalira is a brilliant location for budding park riders.

Pas De La Casa Restaurants

Eating out is much cheaper than you’d expect in a ski resort as well- most of the restaurants serve a selection of family friendly European food, though you’ll be able to find some local Andorran specialties (such as the warming escudella stew) at Costa Rodona. There’s a McDonalds and a Burger King for the unadventurous, whilst El Gargantua is the place to go if you’re feeling like a fondue and at La Copa, you’ll be able to enjoy steaks cooked over an open fire. El Fogo Negre with a wide variety of food on offer, El Fogo Negre is lovely food at a great price. They have a lunch menu and an evening menu, with pizzas, pastas, steak, and ribs, plus every day a "dish of the day". The evening menu also includes all you can eat ribs!

Where to eat in Pas De La Casa and on the mountain

Pas De La Casa Après Ski

Pas de La Casa really comes into its own when it comes to the après scene, with locals and tourists alike taking liberal advantage of the duty-free drink prices and late opening times. It’s the pubs and clubs that really set Pas apart from the competition. The Kamikaze Surf Bar is the first port of call for many- located on the slopes a short ski from town, the party gets going when the slopes close, and often doesn’t end till well into the night… you might want to regress to a snowplough to get home! The pirate themed Perla Negra is a sure crowd pleaser. With decent pub grub served all day, live sports on the big screens (often with English commentary) and a nightly DJ, it never disappoints. At Deja Beer you can pull your own pints- there’s a different beer on tap at each table- and the nightly and weekly league tables on the big screens can often lead to things getting a wee bit out of hand… luckily, they also serve some great tapas and delicious pizzas! Underground, the London underground themed bar is one of the oldest and most popular in resort. The party gets started here as soon as the slopes close and carries on well into the night.

Bars Late Night Clubs and Cafes in Pas De La Casa

Restaurant Cala Bassa Costa Rodona Trading white sand for the white of the slopes, Ibiza’s Cala Bassa Beach club is buying into Pas De La Casa’s reputation as an “Ibiza on Ice” . It’s opened a branch in the on-piste Costa Rodona restaurant which has been transformed with hammocks, DJ, a giant terrace and lashings of beach cool. Expect mountain staples and an alphabet of cocktails- but also a handful of Ibizan classics –ever heard of Bullit de Peix on a mountain?

Best Time to Visit Pas De La Casa

Whilst the snow here isn’t as guaranteed as in some of the larger European resorts, it is the best in the Pyrenees, and off the slopes you’re assured of a great time year round. Visiting over peak dates is a lot less stressful, expensive and crowded than you’d expect, and the resorts infrastructure easily keeps up with an increase in the crowds. The main holiday dates are always enjoyable in Andorra- New Year is especially well celebrated- so a visit during these times is highly recommended. The best snow conditions are during February and early March, so a cheap half term trip is certainly on the cards. Late season snow isn’t always the best, but with so many al fresco restaurants and bars you’re almost guaranteed to come home with a suntan.

Despite the sometimes raucous après ski scene within resort, there’s a lot to be said for a family trip to Pas de La Casa. The relaxed atmosphere makes it a great place for a first time family trip, and with costs much lower than a more mainstream destination it’ll be much friendlier on the pocket as well.

Ski passes, equipment hire and tuition are all less expensive than many of the larger resorts, so if you’re not too sure how the kids will take to the snow it’s a safe choice of destination. There are plenty of family friendly restaurants to try out in the evenings as well, with most serving a range of European favourites, from fondue and raclettes at the La Gratinada to the more traditional Andorran delicacies on offer at Costa Rodonda.

The range of slopes is also ideal for families, especially mixed ability runs. The beginner area at the base of Pas de La Casa is perfect for anyone taking their first steps on snow, intermediates will have the whole of the mountain at their disposal thanks to a great network of blue and red runs, and any adventurous youngsters will soon be at home in one of the four snow parks or many freeriding areas.

Even during peak dates the airports aren’t usually too crowded, as don’t serve too many ski resorts so pick one of our packages including flights and transfers for the ultimate convenience. Though if you fancy adding a few days to the holiday, why not pick a self drive package? You’ll save a few pennies for when you get to the resort, and you’ll be able to make the journey itself part of the adventure!

Pas de La Casa is without a doubt one of the best destinations in Europe for an all singing, all dancing group trip. There’s a fantastic amount of terrain to cover in the days- Grandvalira is the largest ski area in the Pyrenees- and off the pistes there’s enough entertainment to keep the party going for hours.

Any beginners will be heartened by the gentle blues just outside of the resort area, and those who have never skied before can easily find their feet on the beginner areas. Tuition and hire are relatively inexpensive as well, which makes it a great location for any first time skiers. Intermediates will be able to ski the whole area with ease- the routes from Pas de La Casa to Soldeu, via Grau Roig are packed with long blues and reds- whilst the group’s experts will enjoy the four snowparks and freeriding areas, not to mention the many groomed black runs.

There’s even more fun to be had off the slopes. The duty free drinks prices and late opening hours of the bars give you an idea of what to expect- the Kamikaze Surf Bar is often open until 3am and is actually on the slopes above the resort (!)- and many of the resorts visitors spend more time in the bars than on the slopes. You’ll be sure to end up in the Underground bar at least once or twice, though if you’re after a quieter night then you’ll feel right at home in Paddy’s Irish bar.

Would probably go back to Pas de la Casa again, it’s not as good as the alps (2 Alpes last year was amazing) but we still had a brilliant time. The slopes are good for beginners, two of our group were learning and they picked it up really well. The instructors were some of the best I’ve seen. Everything is a ... + more

I’d definitely go back! Pas is quite lively if you’re a young group who want pub crawls, drinks, music etc. In terms of skiing these days, the packages here are very reasonable in terms of budget when you factor in travel, accommodation, ski hire, pass etc. Going out to eat and drink is also very reasonable... + more

I’ve skied all over France and done a bit of Italy and thought I’d give Andorra a go as my brother recommended it. As a ski resort it’s not bad at all. The snow was good and the overall weather wasn’t too bad. You have to be a good skier to go over to the other resorts and enjoy the whole area. To ski fr... + more

Our first visit to Pas de la Casa and we got quite lucky with the weather. It was snowing on the first couple of days then warmed up with some sunshine, so with sun and snow it was ideal!

We’d been to Pas de la Casa before and this time was 6 years since our last visit. We returned because it has the highest altitudes in the area and whilst other resorts were suffering at the beginning of the 14/15 season, we had good conditions with 4-5 days of sunshine and heavy snow on the day we left.
