Night skiing Encamp

Those who have not had enough of skiing after nightfall can let of steam in the illuminated Sunset Park Henri Harlaut slightly away from the main ski area every Tuesday to Sunday from 15:00 - 21:00. The snow park has a large flood light system and is located the Peretol tow lift in El Peretol, however it is not directly connected to the Grandvalira ski area. The freestyle area can be reached easily via the valley street.

Pas de la Casa offers another illuminated slope, namely the approx. 1.5 km piste "Tubs". The blue piste can be found at the 4-person chairlift "La Solana".

Après ski Encamp

Encamp is rather quiet, although guests can always find a sociable spot at one of the many patisseries found there and spoil themselves with a sweet treat. The "Granja Casal Fleca" is especially recommendable, being the oldest patisserie in the resort, as well as the "El Pastis del Valira" which has sweet, Argentinian specialities available to try.

If it's diversity you're looking for, try participating in a guided dog-sled tour or rent out a ski bike. You could even participate in an igloo building course. A particularly breathtaking highlight is the helicopter tours. The longest zip line in the Pyrenees offers a special adrenaline kick: at a height of 40 m and over a length of 550 m, you can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h. The Mont Magic Zip Line in Canillo is definitely worth a visit.

Should you find that you still need more après ski, numerous bars with good music and a cold beverage are available to check out. However, the wildest après ski atmosphere in the region can be found in the approx. 26 km distant Pas de la Casa.
