Ski area Grandvalira
With the "Grandvalira" lift pass you have 210 km of piste available, connected by 71 lifts. Here you have access to Europe's largest ski region outside the Alps, which combines the areas Pas de la Casa/Grau Roig and Soldeu/El Tarter.
From Pas de la Casa you can take various chair lifts which grant you direct access to the ski area, which is known to be unbeatable in its diversity. Even beginners will find an extended offer of easy pistes here, so that you hardly have to take the same piste twice. Numerous off-piste opportunities and the unique mogul piste parcours is rather recommendable for the well-practised. Fun parks, boardercross runs and FIS approved runs will really get the cracks going. One of the 4 fun parks in the ski area is even equipped with a flood light facility and is opened until late in the evening.
All over the ski area there are various Wi-Fi hotspots that enable easy access to the Internet. Since February 2019, you can also use your Grandvalira lift pass in the Ordino Acalís ski area, with 30 further kilometres of piste and 15 lifts.
A little distance outside Soleu, in Peretol (1,960 m), you will find another night ski area. Here, the Peretol tow lift operates an approx. 500 m piste, which includes the Sunset Park Peretol snowpark, and is completely illuminated by floodlights. The large freestyle area is not directly connected to the other pistes in the Grandvalira ski area, but it is easily reached via the valley street. Night skiing fun is possible every Tuesday to Sunday from 17:00 - 22:00.
