Known affectionately as ‘Pas’, the lively frontier town and mountain pass of Pas de la Casa – with direct links to Grau Roig - is in north-eastern Andorra and close to the French border so there’s a distinctly French ambience in this resort. It’s not only the highest of the Andorran villages, but the entire Pyrenees, with slopes as high as 2640m, and has a correspondingly good snow record! 

Skiing and snowboarding in Pas de la Casa

One of the major benefits of skiing and boarding in Andorra is the high standard of tuition and English speaking instructors - and Pas is no exception. The ski schools here are big, friendly and offer lessons for people of all abilities, group tuition or private. The nursery slopes are right in the traffic-free resort centre, offering a combination of easy slope access to build confidence and superb value après-ski for celebrating. Due to it's high altitude, this resort gets great snowfall and usually remains open until the end of April. If you're a snowboarder, you'll love it here too, with access to snow parks, freestyle areas and border cross courses. 

Where to stay in Pas de la Casa

We offer a range of 3 and 4 star hotels in Pas that all have their own unique facilities and charm, and all offering a half board basis. The majority of these hotels are located in the centre of resort, with the furthest being only a 2 minute walk out - so you'll always be right in the heart of all the action. They are also all within walking distance of the ski lifts and ski bus stops so accessing the slopes early for maximised time on the mountains couldn't be easier. 

Bars and restaurants in Pas de la Casa

Pas de la Casa is at the heart of partying in Andorra and is known as the liveliest of all the resorts - so if après ski is on your agenda, this is the place to be. It has significantly grown over the years and the choice of nightlife has something to suit everyone. Before heading back to your accommodation, ski or board to Coll Blanc, a venue that looks like a UFO has crashed right on the slopes - it's hard to miss! This restaurant has fantastic views of the Grandvalira ski area and by 4pm, the DJs turn it into the liveliest après ski bar on the slopes. If you'd like to keep the party going we'd recommend checking out Billboard, Pas' largest night club hosting nights with big DJs and a VIP area.

There are a selection of easy blue runs on the lower parts of the slopes which are great for confidence building and practising.

Intermediates are spoilt for choice with an excellent selection of blue and red runs to chose from that connect Pas with the surrounding villages of Soldeu and El Tarter, meaning you can ski between all the villages easily and make the most of the expansive ski area.

Things To Do

Things to do in Pas de la Casa

Restaurants, food and drink 

Pas has a great selection of bars and restaurants on offer and something to cater for all tastes. The local Catalan cuisine is well worth trying, however being located right on the border with France, you'll find a lot of the food in Pas de la Casa is influenced by French Cuisine. Centrally located, El Marselles is a great choice for local specialities like fondue and raclette and is open for lunch and dinner. Or have a taste of home and visit the Olimpiades Inn which is located right on the slopes. Here, they serve full English breakfasts and traditional pub food and it's a great place to stop even if you just want a drink to refuel before hitting the slopes again.

Après, bars, clubs and nightlife 

If you're looking for a party, Pas is the place for you. Known across Andorra as the resort for it's nightlife and fab après scene there'll be plenty of opportunities for you and your group to have a boogey before bed. Many of the bars and clubs have events going on each night, from live music to quizzes and due to the low-tax, drink prices here are unbeatable. Head over to Underground Bar & Club where après ski starts from 4pm, often accompanied by drinks offers and live lounge sessions. Then finish often in Paddy's Irish Bar for a night you'll never remember and food you won't forget.

Spas and relaxation 

Europe's largest spa, Caldea Spa, is located in the capital city of Andorra La Vella and offers a fantastic range of relaxation and wellness facilities. Take a dip in the indoor pool, or sit back and relax in a jacuzzi or steam room - if you're really wanting a treat, why not book a massage or beauty treatment? Don't worry, if you'd prefer to stay in Pas, many of our hotel's on offer have spa facilities included with your stay. 

If you're all about keeping it active during you winter sports holiday, Pas de la Casa also has a sports centre located in the centre of resort. Here you can participate in team sports, test your luck at a climbing wall, or learn some new skills through a martial arts class. There is also a free soft play area for children providing entertainment for the whole family.

Shopping

Like our other resorts in Andorra, Pas is a shoppers paradise and receives a number of day trippers looking for a bargain. Due to it's location on the French-Andorran border, many visitors and French natives make the most of the duty-free and low tax goods, especially items like cigarettes, alcohol and perfume. We can guarantee whatever street you walk down will be populated with shops of many kinds, but the ideal areas to look out for if shopping is on your mind are Carrer de Sant Jordi, Avenida d’Encamp and Carrer Major. Here you'll find an array of perfume shops, jewellery shops, electronic and branded clothes shops such as Diesel and O'Neill. We'd also highly recommend visiting Andorra La Vella, the capital city, for more extensive shopping opportunities and great restaurants/bars if you'd prefer more options. 

Snowmobiling 

Hop on a snowmobile and cruise round remote, marked trails through the trees, seeing a side of Pas the skiers don't get to see. Snowmobiling is a great activity for those of you looking for an adrenaline rush and to make it even better, there are night excursions available too for the ultimate adventure. Don't forget to bring your valid driving license if you're hoping to drive the snowmobile!

Mushing 

Mushing is an extremely popular excursion across all winter destinations and is a fantastic way to see resorts away from the piste. Take in the scenery of Pas de la Casa and the Grandvalira ski area, go on an unforgettable journey through the snowy forest paths and sit back and enjoy the ride on a sled pulled by huskies.

Snow tubing 

If you're unsure about skiing and snowboarding but still want to feel the exhilarating thrill of bombing down a slope why not try snow tubing? It is essentially the same thing but instead of skis or a snowboard, you're sat on a giant rubber ring!

Snowshoe circuits 

Winter hiking and snow shoe circuits are available in Pas de la Casa and if you're looking for a chillaxed activity with some amazing photo opportunities, we couldn't recommend anything better. Snow shoeing is a great way to experience and explore the lakes surrounding the Grandvalira ski area as well as appreciate the panoramic views of the surrounding snowy mountains.
