Extensive ski areas, a late night winter party scene and picturesque hiking trails make this mountain resort a must-see vacation destination in Andorra.
During the winter, Pas de la Casa is often referred to as Ibiza on Snow, for its reputation as a party town. In the ski season, join the countless young people who choose the ski resort town for its advanced ski slopes, vibrant nightlife and duty-free shopping. In summertime, it is a much quieter village, where you can follow tranquil hiking paths.

Tackle breathtaking ski runs and marvel at views over the rugged mountain ranges. Pas de la Casa is part of the vast Grandvalira ski area, which means you can take a cable car to the challenging and scenic Grau Roig ski area or the beginner-friendly Soldeu-El Tarter resort.
In the village, indulge in some duty-free shopping in the many retail stores. Purchase your ski gear and electrical goods at a discounted rate. Be mindful, however, that duty-free limits for alcohol and tobacco are low.
Come nightfall, head out on the town and experience the resort’s famous nightlife. Sip on designer cocktails in the bars and dance to live music well into the small hours. The area’s late night venues also attract an impressive roster of international DJ.
If you are visiting in summer, you will experience a much quieter atmosphere. Some of the bars and restaurants remain open, but they are not as lively as in the winter months. During the day, trek through the mountainous landscape on any of the hiking trails.
