Voykit pocket guide · Andorra

Pas de la Casa

Stay 2–3 days for ski runs (Grandvalira/Grau Roig); one day works for quick shopping or a brief visit.

Pas de la Casa is Andorra's highest ski resort on the French border, offering reliable snow into May and duty‑free shopping. A ski‑focused trip needs 2–3 days for lifts and runs, while a short shopping stop can be done in a single day.

Scams and watch-outs

  • Shuttle only runs with a hotel booking or ski pass; otherwise you must pay a taxi.
  • Morning bus from the train station departs before the SNCF train arrives; use the 19:45 connection instead.
