Visitor Reviews of Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa
Paulo from Portugal writes:
Been to Grandvalira several times, usually using Pas de la Casa as a base. Arrived there the 16th December, returned a week later to Portugal. There was enough snow but it was hard and the many slopes had pebbles and stones all over the place, many of them not signaled. Didn't see much of an effort to, at least, keep the resort decent. Little snow production (and it was cold enough for sure, mostly during the night), some slopes poorly groomed. During the week, the temperature started rising during the afternoon, so the snow was really humid during that period. The night life was quite "weaker" this year. Don't know if I'll return, but if I do, surely it won't be in December as they act as if the season only starts in Xmas, though they open up early December.
