Skiing in Grandvalira

Slopes and sectors

Grandvalira has 7 sectors, located at different distances and connected to one another not only by road, but also through the heart of the mountains. The sectors are Canillo, Soldeu, Pas de la Casa, Encamp, El Tarter, El Peretol and Grau Roig. Together, they boast a ski area of 215 km and 140 slopes, each categorised by difficulty level: 24 are green, 54 blue, 44 red and 18 black.

There are also freeride zones in all sectors (except for Peretol), snowparks and ski mountaineering circuits. Grandvalira can therefore be described as 7 resorts in one, as each sector has its own appeal.

Special mention should be made of the children’s slopes, enlivened by friendly animals and fantasy figures to make kids feel protected during their first days of skiing. Examples are Kids Forest, divided among three sectors (Grau Roig, Encamp, Pas de la Casa), Bababoom Circus (El Tarter) and Yokai (Soldeu). Each sector of Grandvalira has its own access points.

Grandvalira Resorts Andorra

With the recent addition of the Ordino Arcalís and Pal Arinsal ski resorts to Grandvalira, Grandvalira Resorts Andorra was born, a skiable domain that covers more than 300 km (Ordino Arcalís with 30.5 km, Pal Arinsal with 63 km and Grandvalira with 215 km), offering its guests a world of benefits. From now on, a sole season-long Andorra Pass will allow unrestricted movement around southern Europe’s largest ski area.

Andorra Pass: a single pass for the entire ski area

This exclusive pass offers access to all the area’s ski resorts and ski lifts, both in the winter and summer seasons, to over 60 km of track at the Pal Arinsal Bike Park, and to the Grandvalira e-bike park. Access to the Bike Park is only included with the season pass.

Although the pass is annual (for the entire season), if you only require access during your holiday, you may purchase a 1-day pass or a half-day pass (either mornings or afternoons). There are also options for different skier levels, which include a beginner’s pass. Visitors who do not intend to ski can purchase a pedestrian pass, which includes two upward and downward journeys by cable car during the day. Lastly, all prices vary according to age. Categories are adult, baby (born in 2018 or later), junior from 12 to 17 years old, child from 6 to 11 years old, senior over the age of 65, and senior gold for adults born before 1948.

Mountain Pass: ski mountaineering at all the resorts

If cross-country skiing is your activity of choice, then the Mountain Pass is the perfect option for you. With this global pass, you'll be able to practice skimo or snowshoeing at all of the resorts in the Principality: Grandvalira, Ordino Arcalís, Pal Arinsal and Naturland, you decide!  In addition, this pass also allows you to use some of the resorts’ ski lifts, with one cable car return trip per day and per lift included, while you’ll also be granted access to special routes designed just for this activity.

Finally, in addition to the usual day passes, Grandvalira also offers a wide range of packages and multi-day passes, with special prices that can include accommodation and other services.

And now, for greater convenience, you can top up your pass. You can book one with your purchase and have it sent to your home.
