Ski area Grandvalira

With the lift pass "Grandvalira" a total of 71 lifts and 210 km of pistes are available to you. This area, which is Europe's largest ski area outside the Alps, came about through a merger of the areas Pas de la Casa/Grau Roig and Soldeu/El Tarter.

The closest entry point to the ski area Grandvalira is in Encamp, around 5.5 km away. The funitel lift brings you directly to the diverse ski area. There are plenty of runs for beginners to choose from, so many that barely any run will need to be repeated twice on the same day. Mogul piste obstacle courses and off-piste possibilities will make any skier's heart race faster. The pros let off steam in the fun parks, on the FIS-race circuits and on the boardercross routes. As a result of its altitude at 2,640 m and the humid Atlantic air, the ski area Grandvalira is also extremely reliable for snow.

Internet access is made possible through a number of Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the 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.
