The ski school is terrible. We booked my daughter for the 'snow garden' which they describe on their website as 'a gentle and enjoyable introduction to skiing and the snow, with activities and games designed especially for young children. There were no activities or games. The poor children sat on a bench from 9.30-10.30 doing absolutely nothing. When they went on the slopes (10.30-12.15), there were 11 children (aged under 5) per instructor so they just waited and waited for their turn. They basically went down about 3 metres once or twice as all their time was spent waiting. I felt so sorry not only for my daughter but all the children who just had to spend all morning waiting with nothing to do.

Just returned from Pas. 5 great snow days, really enjoyed the skiing. Been several times before but won't be rushing back. Pretty it ain't but once on the mountain truly breathtaking. The y really have pared everything to the bone. Many lifts had only one person working them, there was no organisation of many of the lift queues. Big queues and chairs going up half full, several card readers not working adding to the queues, unhelpful staff....the list goes on. Lack of reliable ski buses, what's the matter with these people.
Snow clearing very poor parking a nightmare.
Will they never learn? Whilst Grandvalira will never be ski in/ out it would make the experience far more pleasant if there was a ski bus instead of having to drive to the lifts, queue for parking and put cold boots on in a car park.

I live in Andorra and ski almost every day of every season for 5 seasons. Pas is a pretty nice ski area, but it has two things that make it tricky. It's mostly eastern exposure, so it gets a lot of sun in the early part of the day, and gets cold again in the afternoon. It has different weather than Grau Roig, one of the colder areas with pretty good snow, and tends to get more fog and clouds than other ski areas. The approach from the top of the lifts to Pas is either advanced terrain, or through one place that has a lot of traffic. Lower down it's better. Grandvalira is a big resort with different snow everywhere; if you don't like it move to other places. There are some easier runs in the valley after Grau Roig that have some good snow, and might be better than Pas on a sunny day. With respect to snow, the weather brings what it brings. The most reliable is February and early March, 2012/13 it was hard to go wrong. This year is predicted by many people to be as epic as last year. Enjoy the season.

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.

I went to Pas (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa) with my firends last winter and had a excellent time. Baring in mind we are a group of 12 girls who have very mixed abilities, the ski area suited us down to the ground. The area is excellent. The Lift pass was expensive in the resort, so we purchased the lift passes through pasdelacasainfo.com. We got them about 20€ cheaper than in the resort. The nightlife was excellent. We are a group of 12 girls out for a good time. The best places had to be Paddys Bar, Condor, and for later on Bilbord. It seems to me that in all resorts, the Irish bars are always the most poplular and the best; Paddys Bar in Pas de la Casa, Paddy Mcquintys in Sauze, and I am sure there's many more. Have a wicked time in Pas (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa), we will be back this winter in March.

Me and 3 of my mates went to Pas De La Casa (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa) in late January and what a week it was. The snow conditions were perfect; some pistes left unbashed for powder loving snowboarders, and the well used and long runs prepared perfectly with a dusting of fresh snow on top. Ideal conditions for both skiers and boarders. I don't know how they were grading the runs, but some blues should have been red, some blacks should have been blues etc. But there is something for everyone at Pas de la Casa (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa) and the wide slope back into the town centre is perfect for beginners: not too steep and nice and wide for turns. Away from the centre there is a huge snow park, with jumps, rails and half-pipes, with DJ's playing all around, brilliant.
Now the important bit, the night life. I have never been anywhere quite like it. There are so many bars you will need more than a week to get to them all, and the 2 clubs are always a good laugh. Get to the happy hours to get the night started as beers were about 3 euros. Plenty of good places to eat out, make friends with anybody and everybody, keeps drink and food prices down.
All in all, Pas de la Casa (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa) is a great place if you're going to get up late with a sore head, ski or board 'til your legs hurt and then do the same all over again.

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.

just got back from Pas (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa). Went from the 4th Jan to the 11th 2009; first time skiing and if you're looking for a cheap, no frills holiday then Pas is the place. The snow was brilliant; we had 40 cms of new snow fall in 3 days. The tuition was great plus we used the ski storage right next to the slopes which for 20 euros was good value. One thing I must say is don't stay in hotel Camalot. The food is appauling and the staff are vile, never smile and don't want to help you with anything. Also don't do the ribshack in Milwalke, it's the biggest waste of money I've ever spent. It cost 50 euros for me and my missis. We left hungrier than when we arrived. No matter what the reps tell you don't go they only want you to because they get commission. But apart from that, it is great skiing, good value for money and I would definitely recommend it for beginners.

Hi, Just came back from Pas (Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa) last week. We had an excellent Christmas holiday in Pas. We stayed in hotel Cal Ruiz, which was nice. The only problem was the walk to the ski lifts each day. We used the ski storage up on the piste. It was excellent value, 20€ for the week and your boots where warmed for you in the morning.
The resort was quieter than what I had expected. The slopes seemed empty and there was no queues for any of the lifts.
Nightlife was good, the busiest and best bar was Paddys Irish Bar. Check it out when you are there. Overall the holiday was great.
We will be back in March for sure.

Hi, been going to Pas for the last 4 years, for the last 2 years the snow has been poor like everywhere. We picked Pas again because the nightlife is excellent and cheapish drinks compared to France, Austria, and Italy. Going back this year at new year. It's looking excellent for snow already. Any one going out new years week, see you all in Paddys Irish Bar (Pas's best bar by far) for some quality drinking from apres-ski to the early hours.
See you all then
