Grandvalira is an extensive ski destination naturally split into two ski areas connected by a sophisticated lift system. The areas of Pas De La Casa, Grau Roig and Encamp resorts are much-loved and some of the highest in the Pyrenees, all boast stunning views and beautiful runs, which flow all the way down to Lake Pessons. The city centre, Andorra la Vella is easy to access from Encamp, an exciting location for evening entertainment.
Soldeu, El Tarter and Canillo are well connected with a fantastic and fast lift system, offering immense skiing opportunities as well as fast and easy access to the slopes. Fluent English-speaking ski instructors encourage each individual to meet their potential.
Cafés, bars and restaurants are focused in the main ski areas, making this ski circuit a hugely convenient place for school groups to ski. Each of the villages in resort offers its own activities so there’s plenty to choose from including Caldea Thermal Baths; Europe's largest spa, swimming, bowling, tax-free shopping, ice skating at an Olympic sized ice rink and of course the traditional disco.

Grandvalira Ski Circuits
Grandvalira is an extensive ski destination so we have split the area into two ski circuits to ensure your booking meets the needs of your group. The total ski area is 210km and each circuit covers approximately half of this. A full area lift pass is available at a supplement. You will be placed in accommodation that has the best access to this area. Our ski specialists will recommend a circuit based on your requirements, or you can let us know your preference upon enquiry.
Circuit one includes the areas: Encamp, Pas De La Casa & Grau Roig. Dedicated nursery slopes and a separate learners’ zone allows first timers to practice at their own pace, while more experienced skiers have a balance of blues and reds to choose from.
Circuit two includes the areas: Soldeu, El Tarter & Canillo. Offering great variety, this ski area has a good combination of wide, open slopes and sheltered wooded runs.
