Pas de la Casa, Andorra

Pas de la Casa is a very lively resort town found just over the border from France at the foot of the slopes of Grandvalira. Set at 2050m, Pas de la Casa is one of the highest resorts in Europe

Its first ski lift was opened in 1957 and currently it counts 31 lifts, 100 km of pistes and 6.26 km of skiable terrain. Its popularity has grown with the burgeoning ski and snowboard industry in the principality: it is the highest resort in Andorra, has the best snow record, and is the easiest to get to from Barcelona or Toulouse airports. Consequently it attracts a large number of British and Irish winter sports enthusiasts, as well as French and Spanish.

It is also favoured for its southern latitude and duty-free status, which for many overcome the drawbacks of the long airport transfer times. The nightlife is particularly youth-oriented, and a prevalence of red pistes perhaps makes the skiing more suited to intermediates than beginners or the most advanced.
