GRANDVALIRA - GRAU ROIG
The only sector without its own residential area, Grandvalira-Grau Roig stands out particularly for its landscapes, which are amongst the most spectacular in Andorra. The most unspoilt sector in the domain, Grandvalira-Grau Roig has slopes at all levels, as well as a children’s snow circuit located in the woods.
Grandvalira-Grau Roig is also a nerve-centre for adventure sports, with activities including, amongst many others, dogsled rides, snowshoes and snowmobiles.
GRANDVALIRA - PAS DE LA CASA
Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa enjoys optimal snow conditions, whilst its broad slopes and varied range of levels enables users to enjoy winter sports to the full. Pas de la Casa is, moreover, like one long shop-window, and endless display of goods at competitive prices. No wonder this is considered one of the best spots in Andorra for shopping!
Activity is intense at night, too, with nothing to envy of any other destination: the many pubs and mass parties here make Pas de la Casa one of the most attractive sectors for young visitors.
