Visitor Reviews of Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa

Gavin from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Just returned from a week in Pas (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa) on the 1st Feb. I have been skiing since I was twelve and am now thirty five. I would class myself as an advanced skier. The last time I went to Andorra was twenty years ago and stopped in El Tarter. To say the area has changed a bit is an understatement. My recent visit to Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa was with a group of sixteen people, some beginners some intermediates. I have skied in all the top resorts across Europe and after reading some of the poor reviews about Pas was a bit unsure how it would stand up to these. To say Pas (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa) is for beginners and intermediates and not much for advanced is untrue. There are not many steep runs full of moguls, granted, but there is more to being an advanced skier than going down a steep black full of moguls. There are miles and miles of excellent off-piste most of which is accessible by the lift system (no guide required). I only went to two of the three terrain parks and I thought one was very good; the other was average. Also if you're getting bored why don't you go to one of the two half-pipes (advanced skiers also like these). Although there are not many really long runs they are kept in good condition. The lift queues are short with a lot of fast lifts that link very well. Thought the food on the mountain was better than any French resort I have been to also not as expensive. The skiing is good for all levels so don't be put off by people who say it is not good for advanced skiers. They obviously stick to groomed pistes with both skis firmly on the ground. The night life in Pas (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa) was also good compared to a lot of European resorts. The most expensive pint was 4 euros, the cheapest 1.75 euros. Most bars have happy hours and were quite happy to extend them for our group of sixteen people so we would stay in their bar. Found everybody friendly in the resort and would recommend it to anyone at any level.
