Pas de la Casa: Welcome Winter in Andorra

With this deal, you choose where to stay!

We offer two accommodation options so you can choose your favourite and enjoy your holiday your way.

Below, you'll find more details about each accommodation option.

Hotel Cims: your base in the heart of Pas de la Casa

Step outside and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Pas de la Casa. Every day at Hotel Cims begins on calle Major, with shops, terraces and entertainment just a few steps away.

Before heading up to ski in Grandvalira, the buffet breakfast gives you energy for the morning ahead. It is also one of the features guests mention most often.

When you return from the slopes, there is no need to look for somewhere to eat: the hotel restaurant opens for lunch and dinner, and the bar is ready to welcome you as you catch up on the day.

Guests particularly appreciate the location, cleanliness and friendly, attentive staff. A central address, great value for money and a warm welcome make this a hard combination to beat in Pas de la Casa.

Book your break at Hotel Cims and enjoy the mountains of Andorra with everything close at hand.

Hotel Refugi dels Isards: walk to the slopes in Pas de la Casa

Andorra on one side, France on the other, and the slopes of Grandvalira just a five-minute walk away. Hotel Refugi dels Isards is a mountain chalet in the heart of Pas de la Casa, ideal for making the most of every hour on the snow.

Before your first run, the team can advise you on local ski schools. It’s no coincidence that guests praise the friendly service. When you return, the ski lockers means you can head up to your room without carrying your equipment.

And when evening falls, there’s no need to venture back out into the cold. The Mediterranean restaurant, open throughout the winter season, and the bar await you at the hotel.

Few hotels in town combine a central location, slopes within walking distance and such a warm welcome. Book your holiday and make Refugi dels Isards your base camp in Grandvalira.

Andorra is a destination for every season. Tucked high in the Pyrenees between Spain and France, it's a skier's paradise in winter, and once the snow melts it swaps the slopes for green valleys, glacial lakes and quiet stone villages.

It's a great fit for active couples and families who want the mountains by day and good food, shopping and comfortable hotels by night, whether you come for the snow or for the summer trails.

Make sure you visit:

Start in the north, in the parish of Ordino, where the road climbs up to Ordino-Arcalís. From there, a well-marked trail leads to the Tristaina lakes, three glacial lakes ringed by peaks; the first is roughly 45 minutes' walk away. If you'd rather keep the effort to a minimum, the Tristaina Solar Viewpoint, at 2,701 metres, gives you one of the most spectacular panoramas in the country.

On another day, head to Canillo and the Incles Valley, a wide, gentle valley that's perfect for an easy stroll. If your legs are up for more, carry on towards Lake Juclà, the largest in Andorra. Back in town, spend an afternoon wandering around Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany, where Romanesque churches sit side by side with shop-lined streets.

Family-friendly activities:

In winter, it's all about skiing. Grandvalira is one of the largest ski areas in the Pyrenees, while Pal Arinsal, with its gentle runs and ski schools, is a favourite with families and beginners. Not everyone skis? Guided snowshoe walks and dog-sledding in Grau Roig are just as memorable.

In summer, the same mountains turn into a playground of walking trails and e-bike routes, and Grandvalira's summer lifts take you up high without a long climb. Whatever the season, children love the Roc del Quer walkway in Canillo, which juts out over the valley, and the thermal lagoons of Caldea are the perfect way to end the day.

Local delicacies you have to try:

Mountain cooking here is hearty and honest, and it tastes best in a traditional borda, an old stone barn turned into a restaurant. Order trinxat, a Pyrenean classic of cabbage, potato and crispy bacon, followed by meat grilled over embers and a board of local cured sausages and cheeses.

For a traditional meal, Borda Estevet is a long-standing favourite for its trinxat and its meats served on slate. If you fancy something more special, Ibaya, in Soldeu, holds Andorra's only Repsol Guide Sun as well as a Michelin star.

Make the most of your visit:

Andorra is small, so it's easy to mix mountain days with short trips deeper into its valleys or across the border. These are some of our favourites:

• Sorteny Natural Park (around 30 minutes from Andorra la Vella): gentle trails through flower-filled meadows.
• Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley (trailhead around 15 minutes from Escaldes): a UNESCO World Heritage valley for keen hikers.
• La Seu d'Urgell (around 30 minutes): a historic Catalan town with a Romanesque cathedral.
• Puigcerdà (around 1 hour 15 minutes): a lakeside town in the heart of the Cerdanya.
