Ski area Grandvalira
With the "Grandvalira" lift pass, you have access to 210 kilometres of piste and 71 lifts. The largest European ski area outside the Alps is made up of the areas of Pas de la Casa/Grau Roig and Soldeu/El Tarter. The nearest entry point to the ski area is located in Encamp, around 7 km away. From here, the gondola lift "Funicamp" brings guests directly up to the mountain. With 100 km of blue slopes, 77 km of red slopes and 33 km of black slopes, there is something for every taste in the ski area. The modern lift systems allow for a perfect connection between the individual runs. As a result of an altitude of up to 2,640 m and the moist Atlantic air, the ski area Grandvalira is als extremely reliable for snow. Nevertheless, there is over 1000 snow canons in the ski area, which are there to help out in case of emergency and can cover 65% of the pistes in snow. Leisure-skiers should weave down the almost 6 km long Tosa de la Llosada, with its altitude difference of 850 m, whereas action-lovers can test their skills on the Gaig in Canillo. This run surmounts an altitude of 450 over a length of only 1.3 km. Freestylers and night-skiing fans also get their money's worth in this multifaceted ski area. Since February 2019, you can also use your Grandvalira lift pass in the Ordino Acalís ski area, with 30 further kilometres of piste and 15 lifts.
Après ski Grandvalira
Après ski in Andorra can be considered an insider's tip! The cheap prices for food and drinks attract younger winter sports fans from France and Spain to the microstate in particular.

In the capital city of Andorra la Vella, numerous clubs are also waiting for the night owls who come out of all corners of the ski area in the late hours. Those who like things a little more peaceful will also find countless opportunities to let the evening die away in one of the upscale spas or restaurants in the town.

Snowpark Grandvalira: Snowpark El Tarter / Sunrise Park Xavi / Sunset Park Henrik Harlaut
For freestylers Grandvalira is a true paradise. The ski area boasts three snowparks and a boardercross track. The Snowpark Xavi in Grau Roig offers several lines for different levels of ability and has its own chairlift "Xavi". In the Snowpark El Tarter there is a special highlight: the Freestyle Academy is located here, which helps freestylers to optimise their skills and learn new jumps. At dusk, you can head to the Sunset Park Peretol at the tow lift of the same name. The floodlights guarantee fun in the park until late in the evening.
