After fresh snowfall last weekend, Grandvalira Pas de la Casa has been blessed with incredible conditions on both the slopes and off-piste areas, maintaining their excellent quality until Wednesday. However, since then, temperatures have begun to rise gradually.

As we always recommend, while the weather is warmer, make sure you take advantage of the best snow conditions in the mornings, as the sun tends to soften the snow towards the afternoon. The new black slope, Taupes, in Pas de la Casa has been a great success this week, drawing enthusiastic reviews from skiers and snowboarders alike.

Looking ahead, the forecast promises clear skies and sunshine, which will maintain the positive atmosphere across the resort. What's more, as we come towards the end of the season, the mountain remains relatively quiet, providing visitors with the rare opportunity to enjoy the slopes without any queues.

Although we're approaching the end of the season, we are still excited as the forecast predicts another significant snowfall at the end of March. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that the season ends on a high note!

This past week has been amazing in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig. With consistent snowfall nearly every day, the accumulation reached an impressive total of 50cm, blanketing the region in a layer of fresh powder. Despite the varying weather conditions – from sunny days to cloudy skies and even some bluebird powder days – temperatures remained low, ensuring optimal snow quality for skiing and snowboarding.

Friday and Saturday particularly stood out as the days of heaviest snowfall, transforming the entire landscape. This abundance of fresh snow revitalised the slopes of Pas de la Casa, and more runs were able to open – over 90% across the whole Grandvalira area! Additionally, the two T-bars in Grau Roig were opened and provided further opportunities for going off-piste.

Looking ahead, the forecast suggests additional snowfall on Monday, which will further enhance the already excellent conditions, before temperatures start to warm again later this week. Nevertheless, the recent snowfall has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for a great week ahead on the slopes, so make the most of it!

In Grandvalira Pas de la Casa, the snowfall has been coming down heavily this week! With over half a meter of fresh snow accumulating, conditions have been nothing short of fantastic on the slopes.

The week kicked off with heavy snowfall overnight on Monday, paving the way for a great powder day on Tuesday. Despite some windy conditions hindering access to higher slopes on Wednesday, Thursday brought clear skies and pristine powder, setting the stage for an incredible bluebird powder day. As if that wasn't enough, Friday offered another opportunity to carve through freshly fallen snow, as the snow dump had continued on.

Saturday saw continued snowfall accompanied by gusty winds, prompting the temporary closure of some lifts. Nevertheless, the main slope (Directa I) in Pas de la Casa remained a haven of powder, and maintained good conditions all day.

Looking ahead, the forecast promises more snowfall in the coming week. We can finally say that winter has arrived, albeit a little late, and we can’t wait for the month ahead.

Last week brought varied weather in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig, starting off relatively warm before transitioning to colder temperatures. The wait is finally over, and Thursday night graced us with approximately 7 cm of fresh snow, significantly enhancing the conditions of the slopes. Throughout Friday and Saturday, light snowfall continued, accompanied by a drop in temperatures that made it feel very chilly! Despite occasional snow showers, wind remained minimal, and visibility stayed relatively good, allowing for enjoyable skiing and snowboarding across the resort.

Looking forward, anticipation is building as we await a forecasted snowfall of around 40cm, expected mostly today and tomorrow. This upcoming snowfall promises to further improve our already great slope conditions, which should even make it possible for some off-piste powder runs.

For those seeking a thrilling challenge on the mountain, we recommend exploring the Moretó slope in Grau Roig. This steep red run offers an exciting descent and is great if you want to push yourself.

On Wednesday and Thursday, we might be lucky enough to experience bluebird powder days, so definitely keep updated with our social media to see more!

This past week in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig, we started out with favourable slope conditions thanks to 10cm of snowfall last weekend, coupled with clear skies and minimal wind. However, on Thursday temperatures dropped and we got more snow overnight. Friday saw continuous snowfall throughout the day, although the consistency was quite slushy. This meant that by mid-afternoon, visibility on the mountain was fairly limited.

Saturday started out cloudy, but with fresh snow, greatly improving the slope conditions in comparison to previous weeks. It was even possible to try some off-piste runs! Nevertheless, Sunday maintained warm temperatures which made the snow soften, but we did have clear skies and excellent visibility throughout the day.

Our favourite slope this week was the Fletxa blue run. Due to being less crowded, it has stood out because of its consistently good slope conditions even into the afternoons. We are due to get more light snow sporadically over the next week, so as always, stay updated with the webcams on our weather page as well as our social media posts.

Fresh snow has arrived in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig! The week began with warmer temperatures gradually getting colder from Wednesday onwards. Thursday night brought light snow showers, followed by heavier snowfall on Friday night. Throughout Saturday, we got approximately 10cm of fresh snow, which has greatly improved the skiing conditions, even making it possible to venture off-piste in some areas. Over the weekend, visibility has been better in the afternoons with some cloudy weather in the mornings. However, as always, we recommend getting on the slopes early for the best snow conditions and freshly groomed slopes.

Saturday had a festive atmosphere on the mountain as many enthusiasts embraced the spirit of carnival with colourful costumes. We saw minions, fairies, bears, and clowns all over the slopes, adding more fun to the experience.

The standout slope of the week was the red Menera, offering a great run from Pas de la Casa to Grau Roig. This long path presents an exciting challenge with its flat terrain, urging skiers to pick up some speed on their way down.

Despite the favourable skiing conditions and the carnival celebrations, the slopes maintained a manageable crowd level throughout the weekend. Skiers and snowboarders could enjoy their time on the mountain without long wait times at the lifts, ensuring a pleasant and uninterrupted skiing experience. However, do try to get out early this week, as with the half-term break the resorts will be busy!

Grandvalira Pas de la Casa is currently experiencing warm weather conditions, much like the other resorts. So, don’t wrap up too warm whilst on the mountain in the next couple of days! However, with the sun shining, visibility has been perfect over the past week, and there has been minimal wind, making the conditions pleasant. For those who like a firmer and freshly groomed piste, definitely hit the slopes in the morning (even before 10am), as this is when there are the best conditions. As the day progresses in the sun, the snow softens, and by 14:00-15:00, the slopes become slightly bumpy.

Our highlighted slope of the week is the Pista Port, a long and winding blue track from the top of the Costa Rodona lift to the CBbC mountain restaurant. This slope is not steep, making it great for beginners, and it offers some nice views during your descent. The best conditions for this slope are between 10:00-14:00, before the sun softens the snow too much. As it's on the far side of the resort, this slope tends to be less crowded, ensuring a more relaxed run and better conditions throughout the day.

Looking ahead, we are expecting fresh snowfall! With snow expected from 8th February to continue all weekend, do be prepared for the change in weather, as with the snow will come much colder temperatures. We hope that this forecast will bring improved snow coverage, and better skiing conditions in time for Monday.

Similar to the other Grandvalira resorts, Pas de la Casa has experienced warmer temperatures over the past week. This has resulted in a slushy consistency for much of the snow, with certain areas becoming hard-packed due to the absence of natural snowfall. Despite these conditions, the overall state of the snow remains favourable, particularly in the mornings. The warmth has notably eliminated much of the icy terrain that was present a few weeks ago.

It's important to note that all links between resorts are still operational, providing an excellent opportunity to embark on a skiing adventure from Pas de la Casa to other areas. The possibility of skiing all the way to El Tarter without removing your skis is a great way to practice your skills, and explore everything the mountains have to offer. Consider a lunch stop in Soldeu before making your way back; however, be sure to allocate ample time for the return trip, as some links close at 16:15.

This week, our top piste is Pista Llarga on the way down to Grau Roig from Pas, as it is very spacious and has some fun off-piste moguls to practice your skills on. Additionally, it serves as a welcoming option for beginners looking to tackle a less steep red slope. Be more careful at the bottom though, as there can be some small bumps to navigate.

We hope that everyone is enjoying the sunshine, and we encourage you to take a break at one of the many restaurant terraces in Pas de la Casa!

Despite initial hope for significant snowfall and colder temperatures this last week, we got less than expected with just a couple of inches of snow, which had a slightly humid consistency. As the weekend approached, the weather has turned warmer once again.

Nevertheless, throughout the week, the slopes of Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig maintained commendable conditions, thanks in part to extensive snow cannoning. However, following the brief period of wet snow, some areas experienced a freeze, resulting in sporadic icy patches. Despite this, the overall skiing and snowboarding experience remained enjoyable for visitors.

The weekend brought about a delightful change, with clear skies, a pleasant atmosphere, and an influx of skiers. Each sector resonated with live music, creating a lively and cheerful ambiance – the perfect setting for friends and families to relax together.

Our favourite slope this week was the Pala Central slope in Grau Roig, particularly during the mornings when great snow grooming made it very enjoyable. The mountain teams are still putting the snow cannons to work, helping to prepare for the slightly warmer spell we have coming in the next week.

The previous week was kicked off with some excellent conditions after heavy snowfall, making Grandvalira Pas de la Casa a snow sports enthusiast's dream. We were graced with some blue bird powder days as the sun came out, improving temperatures and enhancing visibility, and getting rid of those biting cold winds from earlier in the season. Despite the milder temperatures, the cold was sufficient to preserve the snow in optimal condition.

Early in the week, venturing into off-piste tracks was a viable option, but caution is advised, as snowmelt may reveal rocks. Visitors seized the opportunity presented by the fresh snow, transforming the slopes into a vibrant hub of activity. The resorts have responded by opening additional tracks suited for all skill levels, facilitating even more seamless connections between sectors.

The standout feature of the week was the Serrat Pinos slope, spanning from Grau Roig to Pla de les Pedres. This red slope, notable for its length, offers an ideal terrain for skill development.

Looking ahead, we anticipate some potential snowfall on Wednesday, followed by a weekend of sunshine. So, let’s keep hoping for that blue bird powder day again soon!

Stay tuned for updates and enjoy the slope conditions across Grandvalira resorts.

The long-awaited snow fell on Thursday and it hasn’t stopped all weekend! It has reached at least 30cm and finally the mountain is covered in white, really bringing a winter feel to Grandvalira. Temperatures have also dropped significantly, which has made it easier for the snow to stick as well as allowing the snow cannons to do their jobs properly. This has turned the once slushy snow to proper powder, allowing the snow conditions to greatly improve.

There were more runs open because of this, and it was even possible to take some off-piste shortcuts. Although, make sure you are careful if skiing off-piste and always have someone with you when leaving the slopes.

Yesterday, the wind picked up in the afternoon which hindered visibility, particularly on Directa I red slope due to the build-up of snow in certain areas. This wind continued today, making the slopes difficult to navigate. However, there is sun forecast for tomorrow so we will hopefully get the much longed for bluebird powder day!

Snowfall is due again next week, so keep checking this page and our socials for more snow updates.

We are still waiting for the snow, which unfortunately did not come this week. On the bright side, the resort has been busy making artificial snow, resulting in more open slopes that cater to various skiing abilities. The forecast says we should expect some snow in the first week of January and there was even some light snow this evening. Let’s hope this continues.

As 2023 comes to an end, the mountains are bustling with New Year's Eve celebrations, and you can really sense the positive change in atmosphere on the slopes and in the restaurants. However, do exercise caution while skiing due to the increased traffic. Staying alert and mindful of others is crucial amidst the heightened activity.

Currently, mornings offer optimal track conditions with fewer bumps and icy patches, making it well worth rising early to catch the first lift to take advantage of the best conditions. Additionally, exploring the less frequented slopes, like Pista Port in Pas de la Casa, can be beneficial as these trails tend to be less crowded and maintain good grooming throughout the day.

We wish everyone a fantastic New Year's Eve and a great start to 2024!

The slopes in Grandvalira Pas de La Casa and Grau Roig have maintained excellent conditions throughout the week. The grooming team's dedication has ensured smooth and enjoyable surfaces for skiing and snowboarding.

The weather has been a little unpredictable lately, and despite generally mild temperatures, rapid changes from sunshine to clouds have been frequent. So, staying updated with the latest weather forecasts and dressing accordingly is crucial.

On Wednesday morning, a fresh blanket of snow descended upon the slopes, adding a layer of powder. While the snowfall limited visibility initially, the afternoon brought back the sun and gave us a perfect bluebird ride on Directa I, Pas de la Casa’s main wide slope, great for carving.

On Saturday, I was able to ski from Grandvalira Soldeu to Pas de la Casa, passing through Grau Roig. Although the snow was quite hard packed in places, there was enough left from Wednesday’s snowfall to make runs very enjoyable.

As the Christmas holidays are here, the resort has experienced a noticeable surge in tourists, bringing a livelier atmosphere to the slopes and towns. We hope you have a very happy Christmas!

This week kicked off with beautifully groomed slopes in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig, accompanied by pleasant weather that gradually shifted to colder temperatures, setting the stage for the anticipated snowfall.

From Wednesday through Thursday, snowfall graced us with around 25cm, blanketing the mountains and town in white. The thrill of a powder day was unmatched, offering pristine slopes and even opportunities for off-piste tracks. The connections across all sectors in Grandvalira opened up on Saturday, enhancing the skiing experience. You could ski all day without repeating a single slope!

Among the highlights, the Lac de Pessons slope in Grau Roig stole the show, boasting exhilarating turns, narrow paths, stunning vistas, and a charming restaurant—perfect for a warm cup of cocoa or perhaps a refreshing beer.

Presently, the weather has shifted to a slightly warmer setting, featuring clear blue skies and calm winds—ideal conditions for learning and enjoying the slopes. While we wait for more snowfall to further cover the tracks and bolster the base level, the resort remains an absolute joy. Thanks to an exceptional team and numerous snow cannons, every effort is made to ensure a perfect experience for snow enthusiasts, ensuring a memorable holiday.

In Grandvalira the Pas de la Casa slopes were the first to open last week to kick off the 2023-24 winter season. Although weather has been hit and miss leading up to opening day, the snow canons and Pas mountain team have been working relentlessly to get some great slopes open, and they did not fail.

With Pas opening on Tuesday, we were given a sneak peak into what to expect for the rest of Grandvalira opening on Wednesday, including Grau Roig, Soldeu and El Tarter, all ready for the Spanish holidays this weekend. I was lucky enough to be one of the first to ski here this season, making it on one of the first lifts to Coll Blanc. With stunning views over Grau Roig at the top and the blue skies, the first run of the season was a memorable one.

It was great to get a few turns in on Directa I, before exploring more of Grandvalira with more slopes opening up on Wednesday. Tuesday morning’s conditions were excellent, with an abundance of snow on the piste. I was joined by a fair few keen skiers and boarders ready to try out the slopes early, and as the week has progressed this number has greatly increased.

Considering the lack of snowfall, it has been great to see how the mountain teams’ efforts have paid off, ready to create a great skiing experience across Grandvalira, which can only be improved with more snowfall forecasted for next week.

The season is coming to an end in Andorra, however, there is still one more week to enjoy the slopes of Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig as their closing date is April 16th. Today we went skiing to check the conditions on a beautiful sunny day. Despite it is Easter weekend, the slopes were very quiet, and we had plenty of choices for all the levels in the two sectors.

The weather was warm with a colder breeze to refresh the snow that was in good shape all day enjoyable, softer on the afternoon.

Our favourite run was Tobogan in the Grau Roig area. You can access to this slope by an easy draglift that offers beautiful views of the mountains of Grau. On the way down it has formed a tube shape and it is super fun to ski the slope side to side.

The terraces were full of people enjoying the sun, and a family atmosphere as many kids are enjoying the school holidays on the slopes on their maybe first ski trip of their lives.

An important tip. If you are a beginner in Pas de la Casa stay on the left side of the mountain (looking up), where you can find the beginner area and the easy runs. If you take the chairlift Pas de la Casa, you will reach the peak and the only slope to head down is a red, so don’t get confused with the lifts!

We hope you are enjoying the Easter holidays from Pas de la Casa and remember to bring some sunscreen with you!

Today, we woke up with another spring day on the slopes of Pas de la Casa. The sun was shining, and the temperature was pleasant, a few degrees over zero, but not too warm to leave our ski jacket at home!

There were 74 slopes open today in Grandvalira, with different snow conditions. During the morning mostly of the slopes were enjoyable with soft snow, while in the afternoon we could find some patches on the slopes, so we recommend you to ski carefully on the mountain, as we are approaching the end of the season and the depths of the coverage have decreased in the last weeks.

This weekend, Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa sectors hosted the Row Snow Festival. This means that most of the terraces around the slopes (Coll Blanc, Pessons, etc) were offering live DJs during the day and many skiers dressed up around dancing under the beats of techno music. Because of the festival, the slopes were busier than last week, but the vibe was fun and festive.

Our favourite run today was the red slope Directa, which starts at Coll Blanc terrace, where hundreds of people were enjoying the music on the slope. From the party this slope takes you straight to the town of Pas de la Casa. It is a run recommended for intermediate skiers, but the coverage was quite good and we enjoyed skiing it down today!

At the end of the day some clouds covered the sky and the temperature dropped. There is some snow forecasted for the next few days, so we hope to end the season with a bit of powder in Andorra!

Today the spring has arrived officially and we have welcomed it from the slopes of Grandvalira Pas de la Casa. We woke up to a beautiful sunny day and went exploring the mountains of Andorra and catching some vitamin D while enjoying the snow!

The temperature was mild, over zero degrees, so no need to overwrap as the sun was shinning all day and there were barely any cloud in the sky. We skied around Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig, and our favourite run was Cami De Pessons. This blue path offers beautiful views, and the snow coverage was good, soft as normal during spring but easy to ride without much effort. We didn’t have to wait any queue today, and it felt like an easy exploring tour day around the mountains of Grandvalira.

Sun screen and sunglasses were useful as the light was very high, and even in our break, resting at the Pessons terrace, we kept our glasses on to protect our eyes. The conditions look very similar through the week, clear skies, mild temperatures and still a lot of pistes open to explore Grandvalira. And of course, a lot of terraces to rest our legs and get the best of the spring: cold drinks, goggle tans and beautiful views of the mountains.

We have started the month of March with a different feeling, cold breeze and cloudy landscapes over the mountains of Grandvalira. There were 128 slopes open today in Grandvalira, which meant a lot of options to ski around!

Also, there was only one lift closed over 73 today, which helped to the quiet feeling around the slopes, now that Half Term has ended, and a many skiers have returned home.

It was only a few degrees below zero, however, on the mountain it felt colder, and 3 layers were hardly enough. The wind was noticeable on the higher peaks, and the visibility was perfect during the day, despite the cloudy atmosphere.

We discovered a new run today, which was our favourite! It is called Pastora and it starts from the top of Pas de la Casa. It is a blue easy run, which offers beautiful views connecting Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig. Once at the bottom, there is a small draglift that takes you to a green run surrounded by trees that it is a shortcut to the Soldeu area from Grau Roig.

There are a few weeks left to the end of the season, so don't miss the chance of a last minute ski break! You can book your ski extras here.

A new week has just started in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa, and it´s even better when the week starts with fresh snow! We have been enjoying the slopes of Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa sectors today and the conditions were awesome!

In the morning, the sky was clear and there was great visibility to enjoy the 125 slopes that were open today in Grandvalira. The temperature was cold though, reaching -15 degrees in the highest slopes of Pas de la Casa. However, through the day the snowfall was back and the clouds covered the sky lowering the visibility around the mountain.

We decided to stay in Grau Roig, as the visibility was slightly better around the forests, but our fog lens also helped. One of our favourite lifts, Montmalus was open today, so we did it again and again no matter the cold, as the landscape is stunning from this draglift. Our favourite run today was the black run Granota. It is located in a very quiet area of Grau Roig, hidden by trees and the powder was barely touched.

It looks like the temperature will stay below zero during the week, so add an extra layer on and enjoy the snow!

We started Half Term with a wonderful day in Pas de la Casa! Blue skies and pleasant temperatures over zero degrees, made this Monday a good one!

It was warm enough to have a thin jacket on, or even a warm hoody as the sun was strong, and there was no wind at all. Despite being Half Term, there were no big queues on the slopes, as many of the skiers preferred to enjoy the mountain from the terrace bar, getting some vitamin D.

Today in Grandvalira there were 72 lifts open over 74, that means that there was plenty of options for all the levels! The more difficult slopes were always the emptiest, as black runs are challenging for many skiers.

We discovered our piece of paradise on the left side of Pas de la Casa. There is a hidden draglift that takes you to the Isards blue run. This lift is on the corner of the mountain so not many people see it, which makes it the perfect piste if you want to be by yourself. This blue slope is quiet easy and enjoyable with great snow coverage and great views, that’s why it was our favourite today.

It's always great to wake up with unexpected fresh snow! And that was today in Pas de la Casa, when we open the curtains the cars and roofs were cover in white, what a great way to start the week!

We headed straight to the slopes of Grandvalira, were the temperature was low, (around 8 degrees below zero on the base). We could feel the cold when taking off the gloves for a few seconds, our hands would just freeze!

The visibility was very variable, bits of sun, bits of clouds, and fresh snowfall during the day. And the fresh snow, even if it was only a few cm, it was enough to draw our own tracks on the mountain! However, under the powder there was a hard layer, so watch out if you are planning to go off piste!

Our favourite run today it was the black run Fis, in Pas de la Casa sector. It is a bit tricky to get to this slope, as you need to get a chairlift and two ropelifts, however, that's why it is always empty, and untracked! It was steep to challenge ourselves, but the good quality of the snow would make it easier!

There is more snow forecasted for the week, so wrap up yourself and head up to enjoy the snow!

Half term is just around the corner, if you haven't pre booked your ski extras yet, you can do it now here.

What a stunning day in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa today!

The sky was beautifully blue, with not even one cloud in the morning, and the moon was showing today over the peaks of Andorra. There were 111 slopes open in Grandvalira, so we woke up early to ski them all!

The quality of the snow was exceptional, due to the last weekend snowfall, with a grippy texture perfect for carving on piste. The visibility was clear, with a strong sun to be protected from. And to end with this perfection, the freezing temperatures have relaxed, and today we even reach the 0 degrees, after a few cold weeks below zero.

There were practically no queues around Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa, and we even found some slopes for ourselves. The black run Mirador in Grau, was our favourite today because despite being steep is wide enough to carve and work on our edges. El Mirador means the View Point, and the name is because from this run, the view is absolutely stuning, we recommend you to try it this season!

It was a great month of January in Grandvalira, with great snow and beautiful days overall! Can´t wait to see what February has to offer! If you are coming in Half Term to Pas de la Casa gon´t forget to book your ski extras here.

The conditions were changing every hour; however, the quality of the snow was amazing! The visibility was also changing during the day which made useful having both lenses with us, we even had to change them over 4 times!

The temperature was cold, marking -10 degrees which maintained the powder all day long both on piste and off piste. It was recommended to cover up every part of your face to avoid freezing while skiing down though. We wore 4 layers on, and it was warmed enough to ski all day on the slopes of Grandvalira.

Our favourite run today was the red run Pala Nova, which comes from the top of Pas de la Casa to the area of Grau Roig. It had a great grip and even some powders on the edges. There was practically no one today in this slope which is usually crowded as it is very close from the town of Pas de la Casa.

Today is Blue Monday. However, in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa, we woke up with a white landscape! It hasn´t stopped snowing all day, and the temperature felt colder than last week so we put on the warmest three layers we found and head up the mountain.

The visibility was flat at some points of the slopes, but you could see well enough to don´t get lost on the mountain. The quality of the snow was great with fresh snow on every piste of the 78 slopes open today in Grandvalira.

Our piste of the day was the blue run Fletxa. This wide run takes you all the way to the town of Pas de la Casa, and it is quiet easy and enjoyable, and today even more, with all the fresh snow!

The slopes were very quiet, we didn´t wait any queue during the day. It might be because sometimes the cold scares us, however, as there are still some cold snowy days in the horizon, just wrap up and enjoy the snow!

You can book here your ski extras for your next winter holiday in Pas de la Casa.

We love white Mondays on the slopes of Grandvalira Pas de la Casa, and today it was a good one!

It has been snowing since yesterday, so we grabbed our skis and went checking the conditions in Pas de la Casa. And it hasn't stopped snowing all day! The snowflakes were tiny, so it was only a few cm of fresh snow accumulated, but enough to enjoy our powder turns on the mountain!

The temperature was not extremely cold, the thermometer was marking -2 degrees, so it was not necessary to over wrap, we were warm with two layers on. The visibility was limited with some snow clouds around, but good enough to see the piste and other skiers around, even if the slopes were very quiet today.

Our favourite run was the green slope Pista Escola, which has access through Coll Dels Isards chairlift. It is an easy run, so it’s suitable for everyone, and it is a very good one to relax and enjoy the white view of the mountains.

It is already nightime, and the snowflakes are still falling down, so we can’t wait to try the fresh snow tomorrow again!

Today we had the first powder day of the 2023 in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa!

It has been snowing all night long on the mountain, so we woke up early to enjoy the fresh snow! We grabbed our skis and went exploring the slopes of Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa.

The conditions were perfect, with great coverage all around resort. It was so much fun to draw our own lines on the snow. In the morning, it was slightly snowing so the visibility was limited, but some clears appear during the day.

Our favourite run today was Solanella XL, a blue run on the access of Grau Roig where you could always find untouched snow. Once in Grau Roig we loved the view of the forests covered in snow looking like a proper winter postcard.

2023 has just started and we hope to have a year full of powder and snow adventures!

This is the last report of the year from Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and it looks like we will end the year skiing the mountains under the winter sun!

Today we skied around Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa sectors and our favourite was Grau because it was quieter and you can find more accumulated in this area. The wind was noticeable on the highest slopes of Pas de la Casa, but almost inexistent around the forests of Grau. This strong wind has moved the snow around forming some ice patches on the highest slopes, so watch out as the conditions can be variable on the same slope.

The slopes were quiet compared to the town of Pas de la Casa, which was crowded with many people getting their last-minute Christmas shopping. Remember than in Andorra, they celebrate Three Kings Day in January as an important Christmas holiday. That's why, if you are going to ski in Pas de la Casa but you are staying somewhere else, we recommend you to park in Grau Roig as there is free parking space and it is always easier than in the town of Pas de la Casa during Christmas.

Our favourite run today was Bosc in Grau Roig. We skied this blue slope under an even more blue sky, and there was almost no one around us. With New Year just around the corner is always welcome the quietness on the mountain.

We started the week with a beautiful bluebird Monday on the slopes of Pas de la Casa. Today, the temperature was around 0 degrees, so we didn't wrap up in excess as the sun was shining strong.

Today there were 87 slopes open in the Grandvalira area, and we were exploring Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa sector. The snow cannons have been working lately and the snow coverage on piste is great, with a few corners of powder still untouched, but as it is still early on the season, we recommend you stay on piste as you can find rocks on the off piste areas.

Grau Roig was sligthly quieter than Pas de la Casa, that's why our favourite run today was Cami de Pessons. This blue run is a beautiful path which takes you to a frozen lake which covers up with snow during winter and the view is just stunning. The trees around, and the snowy peaks make Pessons a special place. If you need a rest, there is also a restaurant where you can have a break or just enjoy the views!

It looks like the sun will keep shinning on the next few days, so don't forget the sunscreen at home!

Grandvalira Pas de la Casa is now open!  It was opening day today, so of course I hit the slopes to make sure I could remember how to ski and also to bring you photos and a video of the conditions, which you may have already watched on our Facebook page.

It was bitterly cold up there today (as well as in the town) with an icy wind, but it seems like it's bringing in fresh snow for Sunday/Monday, so we're looking forward to that.  Currently the link over to Grau Roig is open, but that's as far as you can get, but the further links will be open from Monday once the slopes have been prepared.

The pistes have been prepared beautifully, with good coverage for opening day, although a few little patches showing through on the lower slopes, but with snow making in full swing as well as the snow on the way things will continue to improve over the coming week.  Just watch out in particular near some of the snow cannons as you get a mix of hard patches with soft spots which can catch you out.

Now the season is under way we'll bring you a weekly update here, plus regular photos and videos on our Facebook page.

As the second to last week comes to a close we can safely say that it has been a fantastic season! With the restrictions lifting and things reeling like normal the snow and resort has had a great vibe.

This week has been another excellent one with cold temperatures keeping the snow fantastic. The sun has been out all week and made for stunning views and great visibility. 

With the season winding down the slopes at times have been so free it feels like a private resort. And for Easter week the weather looks bumper hot and sunny. 

With the resort closing on the Easter Monday there is still plenty of skiing to get in, temperatures will be nice and warm for the week coming and will soften up the snow so no danger of ice on any pistes. 

My piste of the week is pastora over in Pas, a beautiful long blue run that has lots of cool twists and turns. The last week of the season get yourself over here and make the most.

Also Super quite in resort which makes it feel like you have the mountain to yourself . Thursday was a belter and the sun was out . Pessons And the frozen lake was a popular spot.

March has been an amaing month, with more snow in the forecast next week, hpefully finishing the season stong like we started.

The week ahead looks great for the weather, and super quite in resort so no queuing for lifts. Should be some snow during the week on the higher slopes but possible rain down at the village so best to stay at the higher slopes.

What a great week for snow ! It snowed on and off all week which has given us a fresh 30/50 cm of snow, the sun has poked its head out a couple of times which was nice. The visibility has been a bit tricky however the snow has been soft which as helped with the confidence levels.

The Europa cup racing was hampered by the weather and they only managed to get the slalom and GS races going which was great considering how much the weather interfered, so 2/4 races was a great effort. John Verdu a local Andorran won the europa cup and this means he will be racing on the full FIS World Cup next season. Fantastic news for Andorra.

For the week ahead the weather is looking sunny for the start with snow coming in at the end of the week with temperatures staying between 5 and -5 . Resort will be quite so lots of room and no cuing . The races are over which means the two World Cup runs Aliga and Avet will be once again open to the skiing public. 

My piste of the week has to be Tubs in pas a really cool blue in that’s twisty and gets the legs going!

Another fantastic week ahead, look forward to seeing everyone!

this week was excellent thanks to the on off snow fall which has kept all the pistes in grandvalira open so a complete 211 km of pistes to ski and zero cuing ! What more could one ask for.

The busy vibes of the school holidays have calmed down and the resort is nice and chill with lots of room on the blues to get into you’re skiing/boarding, red and black runs all groomed and ready for the step up too.

The europa cup is in town from the 14th which means guests will be able to watch some of the top ski racers competing on the two black pistes the avet slope in soldeu and the aliga slope in el tarter. The competition is running fro the 14-20 of March.

For the week ahead there is more snow due and some colder temperatures, which will keep the snow crisp and grippy keeping the ice away , Tuesday looks like the day to travel around grandvalira with the sun coming out to play.

The best time to ride is first thing in the morning, with the weather sometimes making visabilty a little tricker to see in the afternoon with low light or the clouds coming in.

My piste of the week has to be figuda a cheeky blue trail near Grau where you can get some speed up and let it rip , look forward to seeing you on the slopes!.

Another super week here in Andorra , Grandvalira. The week started with bluebird sky’s and no wind which set the resort up for great skiing it was carnival week a Spanish holiday so there where lots of whacky and funny costumes being used and made for a lot of giggles on the slopes. 

The conditions were quite firm but still grippy and with the sun the pistes soften up just before lunch. All sectors fully open and every single possible piste open too which allowed for lots of movement, keeping the slopes open and not to busy !

On Wednesday we finally got some more snow and Thursday morning was epic with about 25cm of fresh powder . There is more snow forecast and colder temperatures ahead and this should set the resort up nicely for the rest of the season.

My favourite piste this week was tortuga in grau roig , this piste translates to the turtle and is a beautiful cruise blue! 

The week coming should be a belter and we look forward to seeing you all soon

What a fantastic week here in soldeu and across Grandvalira , had a small amount of snow and some high winds at the start of the week but the sun has come out and the snow has softened up nicely.

This was the second week of half term and the ques stayed relatively small and even in the mornings when people were trying to get up and away it was no more than a 5 min wait.

I have skied all sectors this week and am pleased to say that every single piste that GV offer is open , any south facing slope is nice and grippy from the get go where as the slopes facing away soften up by 11.30. 

This week coming should feel a bit more relaxed and the slopes should feel a bit more comfortable, my piste of the week has to be Obaga super wide blue that’s great to carv on.

What a Fantastic week , snowed on the Monday sun on the Friday ! The weather has been changing and also welcomed , so good to finally get snow. 

After it landed conditions changed dramatically and for the better super soft and super grippy which set the week up perfectly after Tuesday.

Half term week had a real buzz and not even to much waiting in the chairlift cues ! One of the best bits was seeing the piste map completely green which means every possible run was open ! 

I been teaching kids this week and have to say the amount of work that has been put into making fun and challenging runs for the lil ones is second to none ! 

My favourite run this week - The red Montmallus run which is tucked away in the corner of Grau Roig. Montmallus is often bypassed or left undiscovered by a lot of visitors to Grandvalira as it’s hidden out of sight of the busier, popular pistes like Pala Nova and Pista Llarga which take you from Pas de la Casa into Grau Roig. As a result, this run is usually pretty quiet.

Anyone coming out next week is in for a treat , blue bird sky’s a ton of sun and it’s ready for you , super buzzing to see you all here again , finally !

Another week gone and what a fantastic one.  The week started with blue bird skies and beaming sun, the temperatures stayed nice for the snow and made for some grippy conditions. 

The resort had a great vibe, and the slopes were by no way congested. All the bars and restaurants fully open and restrictions lifted this now means you can sit at tables with as many people as you like but still make sure to have, your mask and QR code with you.

My favourite run this week was Piste Larga which is always in great condition. The sides of the runs are always best in the afternoon where the snow has been pushed around.

Its going to be a bit busier for a couple of weeks due to half term holidays, please be mindful of others and ride at a safely. There’s going to be lots of little kids on the slopes who would rather not get hurt because of someone else.

The snow is coming Monday and looks like we’re going to get between 20/30 cm’s of fresh snow which is going to make it unreal, so if you’re coming next week, you are in for a treat!

So, we have come to the end of another great, but at times challenging, week here on the slopes of Grandvalira. 

Monday was rather warm with lovely blue skies and pretty fantastic snow...the conditions we all love! Especially great when you need to get those ski legs eased in for the week. 

One of the great things about Grandvalira is the number of mountain terraces to choose from. Coll Blanc (Pas de la Casa sector), Llac de Pessons restaurant (Grau Roig sector) and Colibri snack bar (Funicamp sector) are just a few of my favourite spots for taking a pit stop to rehydrate and soak up the sunshine

The high winds at the start of the week has seen the snow get blown around, making for some brilliant powder pockets but also the odd icy patch to watch out for. Head in to the trees in Grau Roig for the best snow on the sheltered runs. The wind has meant that at some points the links between Grau Roig and Soldeu have had to close, but if you do want to go between you can get the L4 bus from the main bus stop to ski the other areas.

Tuesday night we received some precipitation down here in the village and it wasn't quite cold enough for it to snow up the mountain, resulting in some icy conditions the next morning. The snow did however soften up a bit throughout the day so perfect for people who enjoy a nice long sleep then skiing in the afternoon.

Luckily for us here in Andorra, the mountain team that work hard all night on the slopes (piste bashers etc) really do an amazing job, so Thursday was back to normal on the slopes. Thursday and Friday have both been great days up the mountain and all the ice seems to have disappeared.

Thanks

If your idea of a perfect ski holiday is short lift queues and glorious blue skies with not a cloud in sight, then this was definitely the ideal week for you!

The day times temptures have felt rather fresh in the morning but you soon warm up - having to take a layer off come luch time.  The temperature has been pretty cold in the evening reaching -12 some nights, however with the right layers it doesnt feel so bad and the cold is always good for the mountains.

Looking for a run to try; Checkout the red Pista Llarga run which takes you from the top of Pas de la Casa to the base of the Antennes chairlift. The run has a great mixture of terrain – at the top, the piste starts off nice and wide but turns into a narrow track before opening out again. Before reaching the final section of the run you can look to the right and on clear days you can see all the way to Borders d’Envalira and Soldeu.

From Wednesday onwards I have found that the snow has been amazing everywhere up until about two in the afternoon, after that the best snow on the pistes I found were the higher you got. 

Lower down the mountain for the last few runs of the day the conditions could get a bit testy due to the snow getting a little scratchy, but like I say it really wasn't an issue as long as you stuck to going slightly higher up.

Thanks

What glorious days it’s been over the past week. The sun has been burning so brightly that it genuinely felt like a Spring is in the air, or was I just riding too hard?

The conditions are almost perfect in resort (we can always wish for more snow) With a fresh dusting on the slopes they are super fun and enjoyable. Soft enough where you can practice new tricks without it feeling too hard and worrying about hurting yourself but not too soft where its slushy.

Pas de La Casa has wide slopes at all different levels that everyone can enjoy. Most of the skiing suits intermediates, but there are also some great beginner facilities and a few challenges for experts.

While its still quite cold at night with a low of -12 at the moment, the temperatures start to warm up around Sunday with a low of -7 and a high 5 during the day.

Be sure to make the most of not only Pas De La Casa but the other sectors too, as your pass grants you access to over 190km and 121 pistes are open to enjoy. Go exploring and find new places to ride.

There is fresh powder on top of all the pistes and everyone who is here this week will be enjoying the best conditions of the season so far. 176km of slopes are open so lots of places to explore.

I really enjoy the blue run Camí dels Pessons – the scenery is to die for, and it is a perfect spot for lunch - great food sat on a terrace overlooking a frozen lake with the stunning mountain backdrop.

The snow is good everywhere right now thanks to the snowstorm that came through at the start of the week, making it perfect conditions for every level to enjoy.

Wrap up warn with base layers as temperatures are set to be cold in the evening and with only a high of 1 during the day.  Though cold the sun is still shining...

It's gone nice and cold, making it below freezing this morning, we got a fresh dusting of snow yesterday into the morning, plus the total number of slopes open in Grandvalira has increased up 177km.

If you are finding the slopes a little busier with the holidays head towards Grandvalira Grau Roig, as it can only be accessed via the slopes or by driving, so it’s normally a little quieter in this sector. Try the blue Entradort run which connects Grandvalira Soldeu to Grandvalira Grau Roig via the Llac de Cubil chairlift at the end of this run. Entradort is a nice cruisy blue with a couple of small rollers. Top tip if you’re riding Entradort: to avoid coming to an early stop, keep your speed up and put in fewer turns as you approach towards the end of the run as the piste flattens out quite a lot as you come under the TSD4 Entradort chairlift.

The temperature has felt cold the last couple of days (around -8 degrees) after it’s been very warm the past week or so; however, layer up with a good base, fleece and ski jacket so it won’t feel too bad. Besides, you always warm up by the time you get to the bottom of the slopes!

Right now, temperatures are to remain cold, and we do have more snow in the forecaster for the coming week.

We continue to have blue skies, sunshine, and low winds all throughout. The temperature has felt relatively mild, and you should be comfortable wearing just a thin base layer and fleece under your jacket. The slopes have maintained good snow coverage all around, and have been well-groomed

We saw a greater presence of people on the slopes and on the lifts due to it being the Christmas holidays, but it’s still relatively quiet for this time of year, it is simply great to see people getting up on the mountain and making the most of the beautiful weather conditions. Sometimes its good to try things you’ve not done before, who knows you could find a new favourite run by trying that button lift you were not quite sure about before, try new things, experience new places, just give yourself enough time to make it back to where you need to before the lifts close.

It also looks like we’re due another dusting of snow after the weekend which will top it up nicely!

Grandvalira Pas de la Casa is in great shape despite not having any snow for a little while, with a massive 140km of pistes open, so there are plenty of slopes for everyone to enjoy. You can enjoy the slopes down into the villages as they are tree lined and protected from the sunshine a little more, and it is possible to ski across all sectors with most lifts open.

Temperatures are dropping below 0 so wrap up warm, get out there and enjoy the slopes. Mid-morning to early afternoon is the best time with the snow softening up making it super fun to ski.

Winter is fully on its way with an amazing start to the season, possibly the best start in here in Grandvalira. The temperatures are sitting above 0 until mid-next week where we will see them drop, but only slightly. The sun has had his hat on for the past few days and will continue to shine. It’s easy to forget UV protection when you’re surrounded by snow, but on days like today it’s really important to top up on sun cream throughout the day – no one likes a goggle tan! Did you know there is also something called ´Wind Burn´ so its a good idea to wear your masks while skiing and not just in and around the chairlifts and restaurants.

It’s been a few days since the last snowfall and with a busy weekend  last week with the Spanish bank holiday, so the snow is feeling a little loose in some areas and more compact in others. However, there’s still a good layer of snow for an enjoyable ride; I tend to stick to the side of the slopes where coverage is better.

As you may know Pas de la Casa is next to the French border and you can feel the French influence around the streets, with many wonderful restaurants to choose from. We stopped at the restaurant Roma for lunch, and it was great! We ate at a lovely restaurant right opposite the ticket office and the stairs for the slopes. Once inside you will need to strip your layers off with the heaters pumping out the heat.

All links and major lifts are open and the pistes are perfect, ready and waiting for you! Christmas is just around the corner, so take advantage that all the shops in Pas are open and not too busy for any last-minute shopping,

The cold has relaxed a bit during the last few days, and the temperatures have raised close to 0 degrees, after weeks below zero. The sky today was blue with a few clouds and a strong sun, the perfect day to explore the slopes of Grau Roig, as Pas de la Casa chairlifts have not open yet.

The mountain was very quiet, we did not have to wait for any queues, and the quality of the snow was exceptional! Very grippy with a thin layer of powder perfect for carving turns. We have found areas of the slopes that have not been rode yet even though it was already midday, a delight for our feet skiing the groomed lines!

After a few descents we made a stop at Pessons Restaurant, located next to the lake of the same name where we rested our legs and chill under the sun for a bit, reapplying some sunscreen on our faces.

Our track for the day was the black slope Mirador,which means lookout in Spanish, and the name is given by the incredible views that frame this track surrounded by different mountain ranges.

Despite being black, it is not super steep,and it is very wide, so it is perfect for any intermediate skier who wants to step up from red slopes.

Today we skied on the mountains of Grandvalira and the conditions were great! We woke up with a beautiful bluebird day and the temperature has raised a few degrees, but it was still below zero, so we put on three layers before heading up to the mountain.

The area of Pas de la Casa is not open yet, however, Grau Roig, Soldeu, El Tarter and Canillo were open today. The slopes were quiet as the resort is only open for residents at the moment, so we did not have to wait any queue at all.

Due to the cold temperatures the slopes have maintained well and even if it has not snowed in the last three days, the snow coverage was great. At the end of the day the clouds started covering the mountains and the day turned grey, it looks like it's going to snow a little bit tonight, fingers crossed!

Our favourite run today was the blue slope Tortuga, it was easy to ski it and totally empty, it felt like a private slope only for us. You can have a look at our album of the month in Grau Roig here.

We put on some sunscreen, took our sunglasses and went out to explore Pas. The village was packed with people doing there last minute Three Kings Shopping and there were cars everywhere as the French border is now open, and a lot of French people are coming to Pas de la Casa to enjoy the low prices at their shops and restaurants.

The base of the slopes was also full of people sledging down and kids making snowmen, despite the chairlifts have not open yet in Grandvalira, the resort had a lively vibe and people were having fun around.

We could notice that the activities are already available in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig as we saw many people snowmobiling on the slopes, also a lot of skiers and snowboarders hiking up the mountain to enjoy the great conditions. Have a look at our photos of the day here.

Today, however, we woke up with an opposite scenery, nonstop snow and covered skies, which means that we will end this crazy 2020 with a lot of powder! This time we will start the year on a fit way: hiking up the mountain to enjoy the powder snow!

As you may know Pas de la Casa is next to the French border and you can feel the French influence around the streets, so what did we have for lunch? Raclette!

We stopped at the restaurant Roma to try their raclette, and it was great! The restaurant looks small from the outside, however, once inside, you can realise it has three floors and a small terrace facing the mountains of Pas de la Casa! Check our photos of the place here.

Despite the chairlifts haven’t opened yet, Grandvalira is offering a wide range of leisure and snow activities to enjoy this festive season.

The Grau activity centre offers snowmobiling and snowshoe excursions, along with other experiences including a snowmobile taxi to the Piolet and Pessons restaurants which are already open. Mushing and igloo building are also available. The Grau Roig Kids Forest Park is offering activities such as mini-snowmobiles, sleds, snow tubing and snow games. Undoubtely a great plan to spend a family Christmas in Andorra!

We hope your wishes come true, and Santa brings beautiful things this year! Our Christmas wishes? To see you all soon on the slopes of Andorra!

Merry Christmas from the Andorra Resorts team!

Today we decided to do the Pessons trail circuit, in the Grau Roig area that connects the base of Grau with the beautiful Pessons lake. This trail is 1.97 km long and it offers beautiful views of the forests and mountains of Grandvalira.

The temperature was a few degrees below zero, but since there was no wind at all we didn't feel cold even if it was snowing slightly during the day.

We run into a few people on the way, but in general the mountain was calm. Once we get to the lake we stop to rest, drink water and get some energy before going down.

We take off our snowshoes, put on our snowboard and enjoy the ride down the red slope Cami de Pessons.

It was undoubtely a day to not forget, enjoying the snow while we wait the chairlifts to be open in Grandvalira.

Last week Pas de la Casa have accumulated over 40 cm of fresh snow on its slopes, so we head up the mountain to check the conditions!

Even if the ski lifts are still closed, we could see how the slopes have been filled with tracks of people skiing down after a previous hike up, splitboarding, ski touring and even by snowmobile the luckiest ones!

In addition, some restaurants and shops are starting to open for the season, since the Andorran and French governments have reached an agreement that allows travel between Andorra and the departments of Ariège and the Eastern Pyrenees from last Friday for shopping purposes. That is the reason why the town of Pas is slowly beginning to feel more alive.

The temperatures were freezing! Marking -7 degrees so we decided to stop for a warm up break at the restaurant Oh! Burger which has just opened last weekend.

They had their own wood-fired pizza oven so the pizzas here are a must, but as their own name states Burgers are terrific too! The French owner and the rest of the staff were super friendy as well, we love it! making it a good excuse for a quick stop in Pas.

It's feeling more like winter in Pas de La Casa as temperatures have dropped below zero and the town has turned white. It has snowed lightly all day and there is more snow on it's way, so it's time to start unpacking the winter clothes as it's getting colder.

Unfortunately, we still have to wait a little bit to enjoy the slopes of Grandvalira as last night the Prime Minister of Andorra announced that they will delay the opening of the ski resorts to the beginning of January to avoid COVID transmission during the Christmas holidays. You can check our Covid 19 information page here.

We are super excited to go back to the slopes and we are waiting to see you all here in January! Meanwhile we will enjoy the snow as we can, snowshoeing, building snowmen around or just playing the snow angel! 

You can already book online your ski extras and tranfers for the season here with a free cancellation policy.

Autumn so far has seen some lovely low temperatures, and plenty of early snow, so all thoughts are now clearly on winter and getting ready to open on 4th December.  Whilst the early snow was still a little early to stick around on the lower mountains, the long range forecast has more snow due in around 10 days, and still plenty of time to work on getting a base for the ski season ahead.

As ever, as soon as the mountain opens we'll be bringing you our regular first-hand snow report as well as plenty of photos, videos, and news from the mountains.  We'll also keep you up-to-date with any new procedures related to Covid-19, and anything you need to be aware of for your ski trip.

Just when you think we had great conditions; the snow started to fall again! Today was another amazing day on the slopes, and there was even a couple of centimetres of snowfall throughout the day too.

There was a noticeable temperature drop today (probably more noticeable seeing as yesterday was so warm!) and reduced visibility, though of course this goes hand in hand with snowfall. Despite the slopes being in amazing condition, we would never turn down an extra couple of centimetres to keep the pistes as well-maintained as they are!

Today, my friends and I skied from Pas de la Casa and down into Grau Roig. The slopes are really quiet at the moment and it was great to play around on the fresh powder both on and off piste. We took the Xavi chairlift (I’m still amazed by the fact that the barrier on the chair is automated…) and then skied down to the Montmalus draglift. We then took the Montmalus red run and the Kids Forest area back into Grau Roig valley. I love the Kids Forest as there are little targets to hit along the way that make noises when you hit them with your pole (yes, I am a big kid!).

We’ve even more snow forecast towards the end of the week as well – lucky us!

With nearly 30cm of snowfall today, it’s certain to say that today was a powder day! With some of the most prime conditions of the season so far, it’s been an amazing day, even ending with blue skies as the snow clouds lifted.

This week has been, without doubt, the best of the season so far. Despite low visibility and lots of snow throughout the day, the snow has been at its best and has made for incredible conditions both on and off piste.

I’m not the most confident of off-piste skiers, though I’ve had to get used to it this week or I wouldn’t have been able to keep up with my friends! Even on-piste slopes have had a thick layer of snow, perfect for getting used to deeper powder without going too wild!

My family have been visiting this week, so I took them down into Grau Roig, one of my favourite sectors in Grandvalira due to its beautiful scenery and the excellent restaurant at the Grau Roig boutique hotel. They’ve been amazed by the snow conditions this week and even went so far as to say it’s the best any of them have ever experienced in their 20 years of skiing!

The weather is perfect for enjoying the massive dump of snow we’ve had - minimal winds, mild temperatures and, finally today, blue skies. Anyone heading to resort in the coming weeks is incredibly lucky!

Wow, wow, wow – what a day we’ve had here in Grandvalira! We woke up this morning to 10cm of fresh snow in the village and even more on the mountain. Unfortunately, most of Pas de la Casa was closed today due to the resort’s higher altitude paired with high winds and lots of snow. Instead, we headed to Soldeu and El Tarter to ski as per the advice from Grandvalira HQ.

Fresh powder on the slopes is exactly what we needed, and the snow gods have done more than answered our prayers – the pistes are just in amazing condition! My family are visiting this week, so I was worried at first with it being their first day of skiing and us having a larger amount of snow than usual. However, they absolutely loved it and the snow was so powdery and soft that they were gliding through it!

Generally, with snow comes wind, and whilst we would love blue skies and no wind whilst it’s snowing, it just doesn’t happen. The higher areas of the mountain were closed today, so we just stuck to the lower parts of Soldeu and El Tarter. We did venture up the Solana chairlift to ski Gall de Bosc for a longer run, though the visibility was poor at the top, so after this we just stuck to lower runs such as the blue Bosc Fosc and red Torrallardona.

The snow is set to continue, so be sure to keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates throughout the week.

It's been a really cloudy day here in Pas de la Casa, though this is to be expected seeing as we've some snow on the way! There are high winds at the top of some chair lifts, so be sure to wrap up warm and make sure you're prepared for the cold.

It’s generally better to stick to lower altitude slopes as the temperatures won’t be as low, and the winds aren’t as high. I’ve mentioned before about dropping down into Grau Roig when the visibility isn’t too good, but you could also stick to the lower slopes in Pas de la Casa such as Directa I, Directa II, Tubs etc, which are accessible via the chairlifts at the bottom of the slopes.

Temperatures are expected to drop to -5 tomorrow before the arrival of snow on Monday, so it’s really important that you’re dressed for colder weather – that means a thermal top and a t-shirt at the very least, and I’d recommend wearing something that covers your neck beneath your neck buff. I’d also suggest that you wear your inner gloves - if you have a pair - as you don’t want your hands to freeze if you need to take off your gloves for any reason!

Don’t worry though – all of these changes in weather conditions are all worth it for fresh powder on the slopes! It’s been a long time coming, and we can’t wait for a powder day some time next week...

The day started off with low lying, white clouds across the sky and we thought there might be some snow on the way, as it was originally forecast for today. Alas, nothing yet, though we are expected snowfall overnight, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed.

There’s been a considerable temperature drop in resort, and whilst it may have got sunnier in the afternoon, I’d definitely advise wearing a thermal layer and neck buff in the morning.

The pistes are a little busy this week, what with it being the French and Spanish half terms. There are a lot of learners around again, especially on beginner slopes and blue runs, so just be mindful of heading down these areas at speed. As I advised last week, I’d suggest heading out from around 9am-10am and from 12:30pm-2pm to experience the quietest slopes – or head out in search of some of the more hidden/less well-ridden slopes (try Llac red run).

Whilst the warmer temperatures have meant the snow can get chopped up a little quicker, generally the pistes are in good condition. I would be wary, though, of icy patches where the snow has been pushed to the side. Stopping distances are likely to increase and it’s more likely to skid when turning, so it’s important to take this into account.

We’ve got snow forecast overnight, so let’s keep our fingers crossed for some fresh powder on the slopes – even if only a little!

The sun is continuing to shine in Grandvalira, though the slopes are still maintaining good conditions despite the warm weather. The mountain team are working hard to keep the pistes skiable and the snow cannons have been on full blast when the temperatures permit!

We’re nearing the end of the busiest week of the season, though this week I’ve been out in search of quiet slopes for you all to enjoy, and you can see my video here. It was amazing to have the slopes to myself several times this week – it’s all about knowing where to go and at what time! The red Llac run, for example, is generally quieter than the nearby Directa I piste, as most people tend to go straight on rather than take a right at the top of the slope.

My favourite run of the day, though, had to be the Cami de Pessons red run. It’s definitely in my top three favourite runs, and today at around 9:30am, I had the slope to myself. The views down here are incredible and the snow was nice and soft too.

The queues are, of course, a little longer than usual, though I find the best way to combat this is to join the individuals queue (not possible if you’re with children, unfortunately). The queue moves much faster and you can always meet up with your friends at the top – they’ll only be one or two lifts in front/ behind you!

We’re forecast snow showers on Wednesday, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that the snow gods have been listening to our prayers!

Half-term is off to a flying start, and it was a pleasure this morning to see off the beginner skiers and snowboarders in Pas de la Casa. I love to watch people learning to ski, as it’s a life skill and one I’m sure people will love and enjoy, just as I have since I learned many years ago.

It was a beautiful start to the day, with minimal clouds and the sun shining as everyone got up on the pistes. I went over to Paddy’s Irish Bar for a hearty breakfast and it didn’t disappoint, especially as it has hash browns included – an English novelty I’m really missing! If you’re heading to resort, be sure to print out our discount vouchers – you can make great savings at Paddy’s and many more great bars/restaurants!

As the day progressed, the clouds rolled in and there was a noticeable temperature drop. In a strange turn of events, especially as there’s been so much sunshine recently, visibility dropped to a very low level at the top of the mountain in Pas de la Casa. This is easy to avoid though, and I’d just suggest dropping into a lower altitude resort such as Grau Roig if this happens.

The snow is still in great condition and it was great to see so many people enjoying the slopes today. Of course, the pistes are a little busier what with it being half-term (though the queues really weren’t too bad!), and there are more learners on the slopes than usual. Be patient – we were all learning once!

What a glorious day it’s been today. The sun has been burning so brightly that it genuinely felt like a Spring day, though the slopes were in really good condition despite the warmer temperatures.

I headed up the slopes a little later today; as we’re nearing half term, the slopes are getting a little busier and so there are a few times where queues for chairlifts are less busy. Around 9am-9:45am the chairlifts are at their busiest, but the slopes are generally quiet as people are dispersed on the piste. The next best time to head up is from 12-2pm, when many people stop to have lunch.

We skied from Pas de la Casa to Grau Roig, where my friends attempted some of the jumps at the snow park (I just watched and basked in the sunshine today), then skied all the way over to Soldeu, where we stopped for lunch at the Veuve Clicquot lounge – this place is unbeatable on days like today, the food is top notch and the music is amazing, in such an amazing setting too.

My favourite run of the day was Montamalus in Grau Roig; it’s one of the only runs where I can say I love the ride up (Montmalus drag lift) just as much as I love the run! The snow was in great condition on the slope, albeit a little choppy, though I’ve actually started to like navigating small moguls!

The weather conditions were rather strange this morning - a combination of light rain, sunshine and wind. The weather just couldn’t make its mind up! Despite the strange mix of the elements, the slopes were in great condition today and, thanks to the fact I headed up pretty early, there was barely anyone around.

My favourite run of the day was the red Directa I piste, accessible via the TSD4 Pas de la Casa chairlift. The run takes you directly to the bottom of the slopes in Pas de la Casa and, with it being a relatively steep and straight slope, you have chance to pick up speed – I’ve been using an app to track my speed and I topped my record today by going 42.4mph.

I stopped for lunch at 3 Estanys in Grau Roig, right next to the chair lift in Cubil. It was a great pit-stop after a long morning of skiing and a bit of food helped me pick up some energy to carry on into the afternoon. They have a Mediterranean themed menu with salads, pasta, home-made pizzas and cold cut platters – something for everyone really!

As the day progressed the weather improved, and we had glorious blue skies all afternoon. It was still pretty chilly, especially with the higher winds we experienced today, so be sure to still dress for the cold.

We’ve got a week filled with sunshine to look forward to but be sure to wrap up warm - it’s always best to be prepared for all conditions!

It’s been a beautiful day in resort today, with blue skies, minimal winds and warm temperatures. There was no need to layer up today, and I just wore my thermal top with no neck buff on the mountain, as the sun was shining, and I would’ve been boiling had I had anything else on!

I headed out on the slopes a little later in the afternoon today, so I was expecting the snow to be choppier seeing as they’d already had a full day of enthusiastic skiers and boarders on them. Thanks to it being a little warmer, the snow on the pistes was a little slushy, though nothing unmanageable. In fact, I quite like skiing on slushier snow as I know I don’t have to worry about unexpected icy patches, and any bumps are easy to ski over/through.

It’s a lot easier to pick up speed in slush, though, so be sure to keep an eye on the people around you; it’s a great time to slow down and practice your turns!

Pas de la Casa has some excellent sun sets and I loved sitting at the outdoor terrace of Olimpiades Restaurant today, right next to the slopes, to watch the sky turn pink. We’ve a week of sunshine forecast, though you never know how things may change as the week progresses! For now, I’ll make the most of the blue skies and warm temperatures – there’s nothing better than skiing on bluebird days.

There were white skies across Grandvalira today, though the visibility has improved a bit in comparison to the past couple of days.

We’ve still got amazing snow conditions on the mountain thanks to the huge 80cm dumping of snow last week, and the pistes seem to have a never-ending coverage of powder! This is thanks to the excellent work of the mountain team over the past week; the slopes are so fun to ride on thanks to them being so well maintained.

My favourite run of the day was the black Granota run in Grau Roig. To get there, you take the TSF4 Xavi chairlift, then ride part of the Bosc blue run to the Montmalus drag lift. I love this drag lift as it has some of the most beautiful views on the way up and gives you access to some of Grau Roig’s best runs. At the top of the draglift you can take a left to do the Montmalus red run or right for the Granota run. It was my first time doing this black run and I found it both easily navigable and really enjoyable – particularly good for those wanting to challenge themselves to venture from red to black pistes!

There’s sunshine forecast tomorrow – what more could we ask for than a bluebird day on some of the best snow conditions we’ve had so far in the season? Be sure to check out our photo galleries here to see pictures of life in resort.

Another powder day here in Grandvalira, where we’re still enjoying the aftermath of a massive 80cm dump of snow earlier this week.

Visibility on the mountain is reduced at the moment, mostly thanks to another light dusting of snow both today and yesterday. Reduced visibility is also to be expected in higher altitude resorts such as Pas de la Casa, so it’s always important to factor this into your skiing time!

The sunshine is back tomorrow though, and we can expect some amazing weather conditions, perfect for skiing on all of the amazing fresh powder we’ve had! It’s safe to say the mountain team have had a lot of hard work to do this week, and the snow conditions on the pistes are testament to this – and the fact we’ve got an incredible 205km of skiable terrain open.

My favourite run of the day was the black Corbater run, accessible via the Costa Rodona chairlift. You just head down the blue Pista Port run, then Corbater is on your right. If you don’t fancy tackling a black run, you can continue down the Pista Port run or take the Gavatxa red run instead – there’s something for everyone.

In the town centre, there’s piles of snow the same height as shop windows, and there’s even makeshift kickers on side streets where keen snowboarders and skiers have continued the fun after the slopes have closed. You can see all the photos and videos from an incredible week in resort here.

The snow is still falling down hard, and we're expected another 40cm throughout the day. 

With such a big change in conditions, it's important to expect piste and lift closures as the mountain team keep up with slope maintenance. It'll all be worth it for the fresh powder days which are coming.

*Post from 20th January* 

The snow has been coming down pretty much all day in Pas de la Casa, albeit it light. The visibility on the mountain has been particularly reduced today thanks to low-hanging snow clouds; this is normal for Pas de la Casa, what with it being at a higher altitude.

To avoid the snow clouds, I headed to Grandvalira sectors Encamp, Canillo, El Tarter and Soldeu (all accessible with your Grandvalira lift pass). Today was a very cold day with sub-zero temperatures, and I was certainly glad to have three layers on, and that I recently invested in a neck buff that also wraps round your ears and head!

My favourite run of the day was the black Muflo run. Despite the chairlift up to it (Tosa Espiolets) being perhaps one of the chilliest of the season so far, the run down was worth it. You can also ride part of the Muflo run and instead veer off onto the championship slope Aliga, something I will take on at some point!

In Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig though, the snow conditions are excellent despite the weather; we had a couple of centimetres of fresh snow overnight and the fresh powder was absolutely delightful to ski on!

Tomorrow is the day we’ve been waiting for though, with over 20cm of snow due.

What a difference a little bit of snow makes! Yesterday, it snowed all day in resort and the white clouds were firmly in place all day. Today, clouds lingered but blue skies prevailed whilst there was a nice few centimetres of fresh powder on the slopes.

It’s still rather cold on the mountain, which is to be expected after snowfall, so it’s worth factoring in an extra layer underneath your jacket. Due to the fact we’ve still more snow on the way, cloudiness and (only a little) reduced visibility are intermittent on the pistes, so it’s worth taking out a spare non-reflective lens for your goggles if you have one.

My favourite run of the day was the red Gavatxa red run, accessible via the Antenes chairlift which takes you from Grau Roig to Pas de la Casa. The run meanders down to the Costa Rodona chairlift, where you can either stop for a spot of apres or go back up the mountain…I opted for the latter!

We’ve another couple of days of sunshine, though with a significant temperature drop (it’ll be around -9 on Monday!), though we can expect a light shower of snow on Monday followed by a big dump of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday… yay! If you’re in resort, be sure to dress for the cold and make the most of the sunshine whilst it lasts; come Thursday we’ll be skiing on a heap of fresh powder.

I headed out on a big ski today around Grandvalira sectors Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, Soldeu and El Tarter – it was one of those days where I didn’t want to leave the slopes...if only the lifts didn’t close at 5pm.

There’s been a noticeable drop in temperature here in Pas de la Casa, so my neck buff has been my best friend on the chairlifts as of late! I’ve also had both a thermal top and a normal top on, with my jacket zipped all the way up – I’ve had a frozen nose a couple of times today!

My favourite run of the day was the black Taupes run. I’m carrying on trying to tackle black runs and this was a really fun one to ride today, and there was a really nice, soft coverage of fresh snow on the slopesthanks to the work of the snow cannons. That’s one advantage of the cold – the snow cannons are on full blast in resort!

There’s night skiing available in Pas de la Casa on Thursdays and Saturdays from 5pm-8pm; the La Solana chairlift is open for skiing on the blue Tubs piste, so I’ll be skiing on Thursday evening whilst the conditions are so good – we’re due snow on Friday and Saturday.

What a start to the weekend – we had fresh snowfall yesterday in Grandvalira, and we were back to blue skies today.

I headed out on the slopes of Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig today and wow – what a day it’s been. Thanks to the drop in temperature, the snow cannons are blasting in resort and, paired with a couple of centimetres of fresh snow, the conditions on the mountain are simply excellent.

I decided to tackle a few black runs today seeing as I’ve really found my confidence skiing again – the black Fis run had to my favourite of the day. To get to the run, you take the Costa Rodona chairlift in Pas de la Casa, next to the Calabasa Beach Club apres bar. With it being the weekend, some of the local ski clubs were up racing on the slope and it was so fun to pick up speed and really get into the run. The run is quite firm under foot, so I’d recommend your legs are warmed up before taking it on.

I also loved the black Tamarro run; it was slightly mogully on the piste but I loved practicing pole plant and short, sharp turns. My thighs and calves have definitely had a workout today!

We’ve sunshine forecast for the rest of the week, though it’s still really chilly on the mountain so don’t be fooled by the blue skies! Wrap up warm and make sure you have a neck buff on for those longer chairlift rides.

Another day of blue skies, sunshine and excellent conditions on the mountain. The snow on the pistes is still maintaining a good texture despite the warmer temperatures, and it’s been amazing to get out on the mountain with the sun beaming down on us.

My favourite run of the day was the red Pista Llarga which runs all the way down from the top of the Font Negre chairlift into Grau Roig. It’s a nice, gently undulating run which then has a nice steep drop at the end. I love skiing fast, so the last bit of the run is always really fun as you drop back into the valley and then have access to chairlifts that take you onwards to Soldeu (Cubil).

The slopes had a few icier patches later in the day where the snow had been chopped up a little, though the side of the slopes still had some nice soft snow that was much easier to grip and turn on.

We headed for lunch in at La Bianca in Pas de la Casa which was lovely – the restaurant has an outdoor terrace that looks out onto the slopes and it was a really nice spot to stop and recharge before we headed back for an afternoon of skiing.

And finally, some good news…we’ve got snowfall on the cards! After a few weeks without a significant snowfall, we’re all eagerly anticipating some fresh powder on the slopes. Come on powder days, we’ve missed you!

Another bluebird day with plenty of sunshine today - what amazing conditions we’ve had. With the temperature dropping slightly over the past few days, the mountain team have been able to set to work making use of the snow cannons, so there was some great powder to play around on this morning.

The slopes have been a little busier than usual today, what with the Spanish holiday of Three Kings taking place tomorrow. If you’re in Pas de la Casa today, be sure to watch the torchlit descent of the mountain and parade which celebrates the arrival of the Three Wise Kings! Check out the video on our Facebook page here.

Today was possibly one of my favourite days of the season so far thanks to great snow conditions and the fact that my confidence when skiing has got much better as I'm skiing so regularly! Grau Roig in particular was one of my favourite sectors to ski today – it’s such a beautiful area and it never fails to ‘wow’ me no matter how many times I go. My favourite run of the day has to be the red Cami de Pessons – the views are spectacular, and I love the way it meanders gently down to the Refugi del Llac de Pessons Restaurant, the perfect place to stop for lunch.

Though we’ve still no snow currently forecast, after a great on the slopes, I’m confident the mountain team are doing a fantastic job of keeping the pistes in excellent shape with good snow conditions – though I certainly wouldn’t say no to a fresh powder day!

Happy New Year! The sun was celebrating the start of 2020 today – another day of blue skies with intermittent periods of cloud throughout the day.

Despite it being over a week since the last significant snowfall, I’m really impressed with the current conditions of the slopes across Grandvalira – the coverage remains good, with 198 kilometres of pisted runs open across the domain (out of a total of 210 kilometres). This morning the pistes felt a little harder from colder temperatures overnight, but by around 11am the sun had warmed up the pistes and the snow felt much softer and forgiving.

As the New Year has only just passed, it’s still quite busy in resort, though not so much so that the pistes aren’t enjoyable. When planning your day, just take into account that some of the lifts may be a little busier than usual and be sure to factor this into your ski route.

We’ve another week of sunshine forecast, though with the hard work of the snow cannons (which cover over 66% of Grandvalira) and the mountain team, we’re sure to have enjoyable conditions on the mountain until the next eagerly anticipated snowfall.

Another beautiful sunny day here in Grandvalira. The temperatures felt noticeably colder today, though you definitely would’ve caught a tan if you were out in the sunlight for long enough!

I was up and out before sunrise today, and on the slopes by first lifts. I was even on the piste whilst the piste basher was still out! I love being up for first lifts as there really is no feeling like having the slopes to yourself and being the first to experience the soft corduroy lines of the piste bashers beneath your skis.

Pas de la Casa looks so beautiful as the sun rises over the mountainscapes that surround it, and I felt really lucky to be in such beautiful surroundings with so few people around me! As the day went on though I definitely wished I’d brought out my sun cream, something I’d not considered having left so early – no one wants a dodgy goggle tan, though thankfully I avoided one!

My favourite run of the day was the Directa I red run which can be accessed via the Riberal chairlift in Pas de la Casa. The slope runs back down to Pas de la Casa centre and I loved just going up and down it a few times whilst the slopes were quiet to practice my technique and to warm up my legs for a day of skiing! The snow was lovely and soft and was great fun to ride – plus I could hop off the slopes for a quick coffee and a croissant when I got peckish.

The warm weather isn’t set to last as we’re due fresh snow on Wednesday just in time for New Year’s. What a start to 2020 that will be!

Wow – what a day on the slopes! After a day of reduced visibility yesterday and snowfall over night, today the clouds gave way to beautiful blue skies and warmer temperatures.

Throughout Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig the slopes were in great condition, with fresh, powdery snow making for some lovely runs. The snow cannons have been blasting all day, meaning there was an extra layer of fresh snow to enjoy. The snow was so smooth and made riding really easy; so close to Christmas and here we are basking in the sun… what a treat!

As the day went on, the slopes got a little choppier where the snow had been pushed around, and there were icier patches where the run was well-worn. As I always recommend, to avoid this you can stick to the sides of the piste where less people are likely to have skied or snowboarded.

My favourite run of the day had to be the red Pista Llarga which starts off really gently sloping around the mountain. About midway through the run, there are spectacular views down into Pas de la Casa, then the pistes verges off onto a wider slope that takes you directly into the town centre.

Overall, such a fun day on the slopes thanks to brilliant weather and great snow. Have a great Christmas!

A very chilly day here in Grandvalira! The temperature sat around freezing point, whilst up on the mountain you could really feel the cold due to higher winds. It felt rather misty on the slopes today, though there had been a light dusting of snow overnight, so the slopes were nice to ride – a positive after the rain we had earlier in the week!

There are now over 75% of slopes and lifts open across Grandvalira, with 160km of pistes to explore. We’ve had great coverage for this time of year so if you’re headed out soon, you’re very lucky indeed.

By mid-afternoon the slopes felt harder as snow had become pushed around, and the corners of some bends were a little polished. In these conditions, I’d recommend sticking to the side of the pistes where the coverage is less well-worn.

The best run of the day was the blue L’Avi run near to Cami de Pessons. Pessons is a great place to stop for a coffee mid-ski, and the views here are spectacular. You can then take the Enradort chairlift up to the Funicamp gondola.

Currently the forecast is predicting light snowfall throughout the night…a nice 4cm of fresh snow to ski on tomorrow, lucky me!

It’s safe to say there’s snow on the way to Pas de la Casa. Yesterday, there were intermittent periods of sunshine and today, blue skies were trying their best to pop out from behind white clouds but didn’t manage to perpetrate the surface. Visibility on the mountain today was irregular, and there were sporadic, albeit light, times of snowfall. 

Of course, with snow comes a drop in temperature, and whilst today sat around -2, the wind chill certainly made it feel colder (around -7 according to the weather forecast!). The chill was only felt on the chairlifts though, and down in the village it felt like any other winter’s day.

It was a really nice, quiet day on the slopes which gave me plenty of opportunity to practice my technical skills in a relaxed environment. The pistes are maintaining good coverage thanks to a relatively good week in terms of snowfall, as well as the excellent work of the mountain team – you know when they’ve been hard at work when you see those pristine corduroy lines!

Currently the forecast is predicting snowfall over the next 72 hours, meaning the white clouds I saw rolling in today were indicative of what’s to come this week. I’m certainly looking forward to powder days by the end of the week!

What a lovely day it’s been in Grandvalira. Temperatures were relatively mild at around 3 degrees with just a cool, light breeze. The snow clouds have once again subsided, and we’ve been enjoying another day of glorious sunshine and blue sky.

The conditions on the slopes are great thanks to recent snowfall, with plenty of fresh powder on most slopes. As the day progressed the snow got a little bumpier due in places as it had been chopped around throughout the day. However, the pistes were still really enjoyable and there was ample opportunity to practice carving!

As a result of the fresh snowfall, I spent some time exploring off-piste in Grandvalira, something which is well worth doing if you’re headed this way over winter.

Today, my favourite run was the blue L’Avi run; I was really lucky as the track was completely untouched and the conditions were great, characterised by corduroy lines created by the piste-bashers last night.

We’ve a mild few days on the cards, with more snow forecast from Tuesday onwards. As the week progresses, we’ll see temperatures drop, so if you’re headed over to Grandvalira in the coming days be sure to wrap up warm!

We’ve had consistent snowfall throughout the day here in Pas de la Casa, meaning low cloud and, in turn, reduced visibility. The mountain peaks disappeared into whiteness and the temperature has sat pretty low all day, meaning I depended on my neck buff for warmth!

The snowfall has been of a great consistency, which made the pistes feel really smooth to ride, even if it was difficult to see.

My favourite run of the day was the blue Neret run in Grandvalira-Encamp. The piste is great for kids (and big kids) and takes you through archways, obstacles, and a little tunnel. The snow conditions on Neret today were really nice and the piste was quiet, most likely due to everybody enjoying the snow down in the village – I saw lots of people tobogganing today!

The forecast tomorrow is looking clearer than today with sunny spells throughout the day, though more snowfall is expected from Wednesday onwards. If you’re heading up the mountain, make sure to wrap up warm and wear your amber goggle lenses.

Despite the sunshine, Pas de la Casa felt noticeably colder today with lows of -2 degrees. Though not overly cold, my neck warmer definitely came in useful when on those longer chairlift journeys! Make sure you’re wearing those extra layers so as not to feel the cold when you’re not skiing.

Pas de la Casa has had some snowfall over recent days, and there was some great fresh powder to play around with. The slopes are still a little compact in some areas, however the great coverage by snow cannons makes for a pleasant ride and, overall, the conditions have improved noticeably in the last few days.

My favourite run of the day was the red Pista Llarga run which takes you from the top of Pas de la Casa to the base of the ANtennes chairlift. On clear days you can see all the way to Borders d’Envalira and Soldeu!

Overall, it’s been a really enjoyable day on the mountain. The slopes have been pleasant and fresh snow has meant that the slopes feel navigable – a real privilege for so early in the season!

Today’s the day we’ve all been waiting for – opening day! What a wonderful start to the 2019/20 season it’s been. Clouds this morning gave way to glorious blue skies and the sun was shining, with just slight chilly winds on the chairlifts.

The snow is looking promising, with good coverage across the slopes. There are places where the snow is more compact, but with more snow on the way this weekend, you can expect this to change.  

Half of the pistes in Pas de la Casa were open today, with the rest due to open as conditions improve. There are plenty of slopes to explore across Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, Soldeu, El Tarter and Canillo though, offering runs for a range of abilities.

Seeing as today was the first day of the season, the slopes were lovely and quiet and gave me plenty of opportunity to get my riding legs back with some gentle blue and red runs. This time of year is perfect for beginners as there are so few people around, you have ample chance to get plenty of practice in with the pistes to yourself!

Here it is – the last snow report of winter 2018/19! It’s been a great season which will be long remembered for the success of the high profile events which have taken place in Grandvalira, such as the FIS World Cup Finals in Soldeu & El Tarter (11th-17th March), the Total Fight Masters of Freestyle Competition in El Tarter Snow Park (28th March – 6th April), and finally the FIS Speed Skiing World Cup Finals on the black Riberal slope in Grau Roig (10th – 13th April).

It’s been a genuine honour to be a part of the community of skiers and snowboarders who have turned out to watch these events, especially the prestigious FIS World Cup Finals which will be remembered in the history of Grandvalira for many years to come.

Thanks to snowfall in previous weeks we’ve been able to enjoy the mountain right until the very end of the season. Currently there’s still 107 out of 129 slopes open across the ski domain – that’s 189 kilometres out of a total 210 kilometres!

The conditions today have been typically Spring-like, characterised by soft, slushy snow and mild temperatures. The consistency of the snow was wet but forgiving and fun, rather than sticky or grabby. As the morning progressed the slopes started to get a little choppy and slushier, but the runs at higher altitude were generally a little firmer. Some slopes are starting to get a little patchy as the mild temperatures have begun to melt the snow, but any rocky or unsafe areas have been cordoned off.

Hundreds of people have come to Grandvalira to enjoy their Easter Weekend in the mountains, however there was still plenty of piste to go around and no queues for the chairlifts. Even the Serrat de Pinos run, fondly by locals known as the ‘motorway’ was super quiet, despite this being the main run which connects the Grau Roig and Soldeu sectors.

The temperature is expected to drop below zero tonight, with approximately six centimetres of snow forecast overnight, and another five centimetres on Monday, the last day of the season. Could we be in for a couple more powder days I wonder!? We’ll have to wait and see, but either way we’ll be finishing the season on a high with lots of fond memories to keep us going until we can return to the snowy Pyrenees mountains once again.

From myself and the rest of the in-resort team – thank you, and we hope to see you again next season!

This time next week we’ll sadly be saying goodbye to what’s been another great winter here in Grandvalira. The snowfall of recent weeks came just at the right time, topping up the coverage on the slopes and giving us some fantastic powder days to remember. The fact that there’s currently 192 kilometres open across the ski domain (out of a total 210 kilometres) is testament to Grandvalira’s snow maintenance work throughout the season combined with the impact of the recent snowfall.

It was raining a little in Pas de la Casa last night, so I wasn’t surprised to find that the slopes felt slow and sticky this morning. Despite the dark clouds and lack of sunshine today the air temperature was pretty mild at around 8 degrees, which unfortunately didn’t help to improve the snow consistency. The visibility was good for most of the day, however the terrain ahead was difficult to judge at times due to the combination of bright light and clouds which casted a flat white light onto the slopes.

The conditions today contrast heavily with Friday, when we spent all day making fresh tracks across Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa under a beautiful clear blue sky. The video from Friday is now live, and you can watch it on Facebook, or on our videos page.

The grabby quality of the snow made for a challenging ride today, but it’s likely we’ll see the consistency of the snow improve tomorrow as the temperature is forecast to drop below zero again, with light snowfall on its way. If you’re heading up the mountain this week, make the most of every minute, enjoy the quiet pistes and take a moment to enjoy being surrounded by the beauty of Grandvalira.

The conditions in Grandvalira are outstanding right now. Over the last two weeks we’ve received a consistent, healthy level of snowfall which has increased the overall coverage on the slopes to an excellent standard.

Last night alone we received another 14 centimetres of snow, so I had a good feeling I’d be in for a treat today. I wasn’t disappointed. The snow conditions were flawless, with lots of soft, fast, fresh powder both on and off the pistes. The slopes were super quiet and, better yet, the sun was shining all day, providing perfect visibility and picture-perfect weather for relaxing on the terrace at lunchtime.

My favourite run of the day was the black ‘FIS’ run which leads you from top to bottom of the Costa Rodona chairlift in Pas de la Casa. It’s a steep, straight run often used for high level competitions and slalom races, so it’s not somewhere I’d usually ride, however today the conditions on FIS looked too good to resist. I wasn’t wrong either – the coverage on FIS was fantastic with large sections of soft, deep, fluffy powder – some of which were still untouched even at midday. The steep vertical drop of this run can be challenging even for experienced skiers and snowboarders, but today’s soft powdery conditions meant that it was actually a lot of fun to ride.

After a couple of laps on the FIS black run, we ventured towards Grau Roig where there were plenty more amazing off-piste opportunities. The best off-piste riding today was in a freeride area known locally as the ‘Fields of Joy’ which is accessible via the blue Port run and eventually leads you down the road from Grau Roig car park. The snow here was unbelievable – completely untouched, light, and easy to manoeuvre in. The Fields of Joy are relatively unknown by visitors as there isn’t a clear route unless you’re familiar with the area or are with a qualified guide; plus the exit involves some fairly technical riding through the trees, and a ten minute walk along the road back to the Antennes chairlift.  

If you’re in Grau Roig tomorrow, look out for the Speed Skiing World Cup Finals which are taking place on the black Riberal slope. Riberal is 900 metres long, featuring a tower which is 10 metres high and 18 metres wide, allowing skiers to reach speeds of around 200 kilometres per hour. You can watch the finals from the base of Riberal, or from the seats of the Antennes chairlift.

It’s hard to believe it’s April. This time of the season is usually characterised by spring conditions – blue sky, sunshine and mild temperatures, but instead we’ve been plunged back into the depths of winter and the snow has been falling intermittently over the last week or so… Not that I’m complaining, of course! After all, we’ve had our fair share of clear sunny days already this season, so the fresh snow and powder days are very much welcome.

It’s only thirteen days until the season comes to an end in Grandvalira, however the coverage on the slopes is fantastic, and the snow depth has improved just enough over the last week that we’ve been able to ride some of our favourite off-piste areas again.

This morning’s snowfall was wet in consistency which made the slopes felt a little slow and sticky today, especially compared to yesterday when the pistes were soft, grippy, and fast with a decent top layer of sugary snow. The snow was wet, compact and creaked a little today, but the slopes weren’t hard or icy so were still enjoyable to ride. Fresh snowfall is forecast overnight tonight and throughout the day tomorrow, so providing the temperature stays well below zero, it’s likely that the snow will be more fun to ride from tomorrow.

The visibility varied throughout the day due to the low clouds and intermittent flat white light. In low light conditions it can be difficult to read the terrain ahead, but if you relax, bend your knees and trust your skis you’ll be fine.

My favourite run of the day was the blue Enllac run which links Soldeu and Grau Roig valleys. Enllac starts off as a relatively narrow track which bends around to the right, revealing impressive mountain peaks and the steep face of Pic Cubil. Today the views were even more dramatic than usual due to the thick, grey, low snow clouds which were gradually rolling into the valley.

If you’re coming to Grandvalira this week, make sure you bring plenty of warm clothing as the temperature is forecast to remain below zero and the snow is expected to continue, with a brief break towards the end of the week.

The snow returned to Grandvalira this week, topping up the coverage on the pistes by approximately 20 centimetres. Yesterday we had a great time smashing the fresh powder on and off the piste under the clear blue sky and sunshine but today we had to contend with relatively hostile conditions, reminding us of how changeable the weather in the mountains can be.

Today’s conditions can be described simply in three words – white, windy and cold. Strong winds of around 30-40 kilometres an hour blew snow across the pistes and into our faces, reducing the visibility and revealing sections of very hard compact snow underneath. Meanwhile, the combination of bright light and thick cloud casted a flat white light on the slopes, making it difficult to judge the terrain ahead.

Despite the recent snowfall, the coverage on the pistes was variable due to the strong winds - some sections the slopes were still covered with a lovely, soft layer of powder, whilst others were windblown and scratchy. At 2590 metres above sea level, the top of the Pic Blanc and Font Negre chairlifts were particularly windblown due to their high, exposed position, but the conditions improved as I turned out of the wind to ride down the face of Pas de la Casa towards resort.

Taking note of the conditions, I decided it was best to stay local within the Pas de la Casa sector and stick to the runs which are at a lower altitude and more sheltered from the harsh elements. For this reason I took a diversion down the blue Tubs run which is more gentle and predictable than the red Directa run which is quite steep in places with a number of rolling hills. Tubs is a relatively short run from the top of the Solana chairlift but it’s a safe bet in hostile conditions like today, plus, it provides a comfortable environment for building your confidence in low visibility due to its gentle descent and close proximity to resort.

The beginner’s area in Pas de la Casa is another good option on windy, low visibility days as its usually well-sheltered by the surrounding mountains. You can choose from super flat runs like Pista Escola (green run) and Pista Pioneers (blue run), or you can take the TK Pic Negre 1 drag lift to the top of the longer, slightly steeper blue Isards run which leads you all the way back to the Coll D’Isards chairlift. If you’re an intermediate rider you’ll probably find these runs super easy, however if you’re up for a challenge why not practice riding a bit of switch or freestyle tricks?  

At the moment, more snowfall is forecast from tomorrow and beyond the weekend. 18 centimetres is expected to fall tomorrow alone! If you’re heading up the mountain, make sure you wrap up warm as the temperature is forecast to remain well below zero, with lows of -6 degrees and a windchill of -10 degrees. I’d recommend wearing a neck buff to protect your face from the wind and snow, meanwhile orange-lensed goggles are definitely a good shout in low visibility conditions.

There’s only 20 days left of the ski season in Grandvalira, however it looks like winter isn’t ready to let go just yet. Pas de la Casa has been shrouded in a thick white cloud all day and the snow has started fall lightly on the mountain and in resort. The consistency of the snowfall is currently wet and sleety but should improve and become finer as the temperature drops below zero this evening.  

The combination of bright light, clouds and snowfall reduced the visibility on the mountain - the light has been flat, making it difficult to judge the terrain ahead, and on the face of Pas de la Casa you could only see approximately 20metres ahead of you. On the other side of the valley in Grandvalira-Grau Roig the visibility was slightly better due to its lower altitude – the light here was still flat but the clouds weren’t as low, so navigating the way down the mountain was much easier.

It may seem easier said than done, but one of the best things to do when riding in low visibility is to relax - take your time and remember to bend your knees and keep them flexible so you can adjust easily to any unexpected terrain. Stay close to the piste markers as these will guide you in the right direction down the slopes and stick with your ski/snowboarding buddies so that no one gets lost or left behind.  

The conditions of the snow today were variable – for example, the top section of the Pista Llarga run felt quite hard with a few patchy areas but towards the end the snow became soft and forgiving. Meanwhile, the snow on the red Directa run in Pas de la Casa felt good all round but the lack of visibility meant it was necessary to ride the piste with caution. If the forecast is accurate, there’ll be more snowfall tomorrow and at the weekend, so we can expect to see the coverage on the pistes improve across Grandvalira. Whether we’re in for a light dusting or full on powder day is yet to be revealed, however as always I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best!

It’s been a bitter cold day in Grandvalira today thanks to the strong winds which relentlessly blew through the valleys, numbing my face and fingers without mercy. 

As a result, I decided to head to Grau Roig where many of the runs are well protected by the surrounding mountains and trees. 

On windy days like today, the Camí des Pessons and Montmallus red runs are usually good options as the pistes are secluded and sheltered by the trees. Plus, if you’re cold you can always stop by the beautiful Llac de Pessons restaurant to warm up with a mug of hot chocolate or if you’re really cold, a cup of mulled wine. 

This morning the pistes were hard and compact but grippy enough to practice some carving. In some places the solid corduroy lines sent shockwaves up my legs but by afternoon the sun began to soften the pistes, making the snow more playful and forgiving.

The best snow conditions were on the runs coming down the face of Pas de la Casa, such as the red Directa and blue Tubs runs. The coverage on these slopes were smooth and even, and the consistency of the snow was nice and grippy. The only problem was... you guessed it... the cold wind blowing directly into my face as I rode down the mountain. Luckily the sun has been shining all day so it’s at least been warm at the base of the slopes and in resort. 

Another clear, sunny day is forecast for tomorrow but the temperature will remain cold with highs of 1 degree, lows of -1 degree and a wind chill of -6 degrees. If you’re heading up the mountain wear a decent long sleeved layer under your jacket and don’t forget your neck buff!

What a beautiful day in Grandvalira! The bitter cold weather we experienced at the start of the week has given way to milder temperatures (around 3 degrees) and a cool, light breeze. The snow clouds have once again subsided, and we’ve been enjoying another day of glorious sunshine and blue sky.

One of the great things about Grandvalira is the number of mountain terraces to choose from. Coll Blanc (Pas de la Casa sector), Llac de Pessons restaurant (Grau Roig sector) and Colibri snack bar (Funicamp sector) are just a few of my favourite spots for taking a pit stop to rehydrate and soak up the sunshine on mild days like today.

The conditions on the slopes are excellent thanks to Tuesday’s snowfall and the snow cannons which have been helping to top up the coverage. The consistency of the snow is light, soft, and forgiving – a great combination for practicing some carving and riding with confidence.

Eager to take advantage of the fresh snowfall, we’ve spent the last few days exploring off-piste in Grandvalira. Most of terrain is tracked now, but there’s still some lovely sweet spots in between the pistes. From the Portella T-bar drag lift in can see the zig-zag track of skiiers who have skinned their way up into the craggy peaks of Grau Roig and have carved some exciting yet daunting looking lines through the steep, rocky couloir.

This afternoon we took a steep fifteen minute walk up Pic del Maia, where the most incredible powder bowl awaits on the other side. This area of freeride is known by locals as the ‘Gas-o-Pas’ run due to its location opposite the Elf petrol station by the blue Port run in Pas de la Casa, and the views from the top are breath-taking; all you can see for miles is the snow-capped mountains of the Pyrenees. Even a few days after the snowfall, the ride down to the road was fantastic as we weaved our way down the mountain, leaving fresh lines in the soft snow. Of course, off-piste and freeriding are not without dangers, so it’s important that you only attempt this if you’re with an experienced, qualified guide (bookable via Grandvalira). Plan your trip, take account of the weather forecast and avalanche risk, and take the necessary avalanche safety equipment where required.

The weather is forecast to remain mild over the weekend but light snowfall is on the radar, so keep your eye on the forecast and your fingers crossed for some more spring snow!

Winter is back! The mild temperatures of recent weeks might have fooled you into thinking that Spring had set in, however snowfall returned to the valleys of Grandvalira overnight and throughout today, bringing bitter cold temperatures (highs of -6 degrees) and a wind chill of -14 degrees. The weather was so cold it hurt my teeth to smile but the slight discomfort was overridden by my delight at the sight of soft snowflakes falling from the sky once again.

Approximately six centimetres of snow has fallen and settled on the slopes, and although this may not sound that much, it’s certainly enough to make for a fun ride. The consistency of the snow was light and soft, and in most places my snowboard glided silently and effortlessly down the pistes. Grandvalira took advantage of the cold temperatures and were blasting soft, sugary snow from the cannons onto the pistes, adding to the coverage already gifted by Mother Nature today.

Feeling energised and excited by the snowfall, we ventured further afield towards Canillo, where the blue Rossinyol run was waiting. The Rossinyol is my favourite blue run in Grandvalira due to its variety of terrain which has lots of fun twists, turns and rolling hills. As usual, Rossinyol didn’t disappoint. The snow coverage was great and the slope was so quiet due to its secluded location within the Grandvalira ski domain. From Pas de la Casa, it takes around 45 minutes to get to Canillo, but the adventure is well worth the journey. The most direct way of getting to the Rossinyol run is by taking the Pas de la Casa Chairlift and riding to the bottom of Grau Roig. Here, you need to take the Cubil chairlift and then take the Serrat Pinos red run with the rolling hills to the Pla de les Pedres Soldeu chairlift. From the top of Pla de les Pedres lift, take the blue Obac Solana run into Soldeu valley and take the Assaladores chairlift. From here, you’ll need to take the blue Orenta run to El Clots chairlift, and voila – you’re at the top of Rossinyol! All you need to do now is relax into your skis and enjoy the ride and breath-taking scenery!

As I’m writing, snow is swirling around outside my window as if I’m looking into a snow globe. Tomorrow the weather is forecast to clear up and the blue sky and sunshine is expected to return, however the temperature will stay below zero with highs of -3 degrees, lows of -5 degrees, and a windchill of -9 degrees. If you’re heading up the mountain, a good fleecy neckbuff, insulated gloves and good thermal layers will be essential to protect yourself from the elements and ultimately enjoy your day. Have a great day on the slopes and enjoy the snow!

It’s been an exciting week in Grandvalira thanks to the FIS World Cup Finals which have been taking place on the black Aliga and Avet slopes in El Tarter and Soldeu sectors since Monday. This is the first time Andorra has hosted this prestigious event, which is considered by many to be the most important competition on the pro ski tour after the Olympic Games and World Championships.

Today I headed to Grandvalira-Soldeu where thousands of people had come to watch the Men’s Giant Slalom and Women’s Slalom races on the black Avet slope. The atmosphere in resort was incredible – there was an infectious, exciting buzz as spectators watched the athletes expertly weave their way down the course, and the warm weather and sunshine definitely helped to keep the positive vibes flowing through the crowds.

After the races had finished, we headed to the picnic hut to the right of the Gall de Bosc rope tow in Soldeu to soak up the sunshine and take in the mountain views whilst enjoying our packed lunch. Secluded from the main pistes and the excitement of the World Cup, it felt like we were a million miles away from the crowds at the base of the Avet slope.

By this afternoon the slopes had become noticeably softer and slushy due to the mild temperature (around 10 degrees), however the snow conditions improved the closer we got to Pas de la Casa. The red Directa run into Pas de la Casa was by far the best run of the day – the snow here was firmer and grippier, and although the top section was spoilt with moguls, the rest of the piste made for a fast, enjoyable ride.

Around 5pm there was a great atmosphere on Coll Blanc’s terrace as the Underground Bar’s DJ set pumped lively tunes to an energetic crowd who were singing and dancing along as the sun started to sink lower in the sky. With night-skiing on the blue Tubs run until 8pm and an after-party at Olimpiades upper terrace this evening it looks like the good times and happy weekend vibes are set to continue here in Pas de la Casa!

It’s the last day of the FIS World Cup Finals tomorrow, so if you’re in resort don’t miss the chance to witness history in the making! - Head to the base of the black Avet slope to watch the Women’s Giant Slalom (9:30am-12:15pm) and Men’s Slalom (10:30am – 1:15pm) races.

What a brilliant day on the slopes! Despite the mild temperatures we’ve experience over the last few days, the slopes were feeling fantastic today, with the best conditions found in Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa sectors due to their higher altitude. Even in the afternoon, the pistes in these two sectors were firm and grippy with a lovely layer of soft, sugary snow on top. By around 3pm the slopes were starting to feel a little slushy but were still enjoyable to ride.  

The sun has been shining and the temperature has felt a little cooler at around two degrees, with a wind chill of around -1 degrees. Later this afternoon, the weather showed signs of changing as grey clouds began to roll into the valley, dimming the sunlight despite its best efforts to shine on through. Noticing the signs, I wondered whether the clouds could be bringing fresh snow with them. Currentl the forecast is predicting that the temperature will drop to around -5 degrees this evening, with light snowfall expected overnight and throughout the day tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

My favourite run of the day was the blue Portella run in Grandvalira Grau Roig, which is accessible via the TK2 Coma III T-bar drag lift at the top of the Coma Blanca chairlift. I love Portella due to its variety of terrain – there’s lots of rolling hills, banked sides, and plenty of fun twists and turns to enjoy. Portella’s secluded location means that the run is usually empty so you can enjoy the freedom of having the piste all to yourself as you weave your way down the track, which eventually joins onto the well-ridden blue Bosc run. Portella is one of Grandvalira’s hidden gems, so make sure you take the time to discover it.

Many people are often put off by the thought of having to use a T-bar drag lift, however they’re super easy to use for both skiiers and snowboarders. The trick is to relax and try do as little as possible – let the lift do the work for you, and keep facing up the mountain. Resist the temptatation to look at your snowboard or skis – this will shift your weight forward and downwards, and you’ll be more likely to fall over.  

There’s a couple of other great options from the top of the TK Coma III T-bar drag lift; ride the wide, gentle gully of the blue Toboggan run, or test your speed and technique on the fun boarder-cross track which forks off to the right of the Portella run. Trust me, you’ll enjoy them!

If you’re in resort this week, don’t forget about the FIS World Cup Finals which are taking place on the black Avet slope in Soldeu and the black Aliga slope in El Tarter. 156 male and female athletes from 18 countries will be competing for first place in their category – Downhill and Super G (Aliga, El Tarter) and Slalom and Grand Slalom (Avet, Soldeu). Entry to the stands are free so don’t miss the fantastic opportunity to see history in the making!  For more info and the programme of events, see here: https://www.andorraresorts.com/worldcup/

On Wednesday night we were treated to some light snowfall which topped up the coverage on the slopes by another 5 centimetres. Two days later, the slopes are still a dream to ride. The consistency of the snow is light and soft, so riding my snowboard felt almost effortless at times. Better yet, heavier snowfall is forecast on Tuesday and Wednesday next week so we can hopefully expect to see the coverage increase by around 12-14 centimetres!

The temperature has been cooler today at around -3 degrees, but I soon worked up a sweat riding piste after piste, non-stop. My favourite run of the day was the black Jordi Angles run in Pas de la Casa. This run starts off as a gentle but narrow track which soon widens out into a steep slope before eventually - and kind of ironically - joining the beginners area of Pas de la Casa. The coverage on Jordi Angles was brilliant and provided me with extra confidence whilst riding the steeper sections of this run. As far as black runs go it’s a pretty reasonable descent, and if you’re at an intermediate level or higher, I’d recommend it!

The snow conditions today were too good to resist, so we decided to venture off-piste of the black Jordi Angles run, where there were some fantastic freeride opportunities and fresh, untouched snow desperately waiting to be carved with the edges of our snowboards and skis.

Riding in fresh powder is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, but it’s important to remember that skiing and snowboarding is a dangerous sport, particularly off-piste where there may be hidden rocks and other unexpected terrain. Never attempt to go somewhere which doesn’t look safe or is out of your ability range, and if you’re planning on venturing off-piste make sure you check the avalanche risk before heading up the mountain.

If you’re coming to Grandvalira over the weekend, look out for the Snow Bike competition taking place in the Grau Roig sector on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th March. Bikers will be racing around a 22 kilometre track which has a vertical descent of approximately 700 metres. Training will take place on Saturday afternoon, and the competition will kick off at 9:30am on Sunday morning.

Better yet, from Monday 11th March the highly anticipated FIS World Cup Finals will be taking place on the black Avet slope in Soldeu sector and Aliga black slope in El Tarter. The stands are up and ready to be filled by spectators, so if you’re in resort make sure you go check it out!

Since my last snow report on Friday the weather has been showing signs of changing. The temperature has started to drop, with lows of -2 degrees and a wind chill of -5 degrees today, so for the first time in a while I’ve been wearing my long-sleeved base layer and neck buff under my jacket. The blue sky and sunshine persisted for most of the day today, however over the last couple of days we’ve seen the sky give way to darkening grey clouds.  

It’s been one month since the last significant snowfall but the conditions on the slopes are still enjoyable. The Grandvalira maintenance team have been doing a great job grooming the pistes overnight and have taken advantage of Grandvalira’s expansive mountains by moving snow from elsewhere to ensure decent coverage across the ski domain. The result is that there are still 103 out of 129 pistes open in Grandvalira, and overall the coverage is pretty good.

The morning is the best part of the day as the pistes are firm and grippy, and I especially enjoyed the red Menera run for this reason as I rode into Grau Roig valley earlier today. By afternoon the consistency of the snow became a little slushy in places, particularly on slopes which are at a lower altitude, but personally I find these conditions fun to ride as the snow becomes soft and forgiving.  

My favourite run of the day was the red Directa run in Pas de la Casa, or more specifically – riding in between the red piste markers and the TSD4 Pas de la Casa lift stanchions. I like riding this mini-piste as it’s often empty as the majority of people stick to the main Directa piste. Better yet, the snow here was really grippy (even in the afternoon), with a nice sugary top layer which sprayed up with every turn I made. After enjoying some carving and fast riding down this run we ended our day in Olimpiades restaurant for a bite to eat. The food there is absolutely delicious – I’d recommend the Greek veggie pitta if you’re a vegetarian, or the Steak & Ale pie if you’re a carnivore.

With fresh snowfall forecast from tomorrow it looks as though winter might finally be making a comeback in Grandvalira, so keep your fingers crossed and pray for powder!

March has arrived, but we’ve already been experiencing early ‘spring conditions’ over the last couple of weeks. The sun has been shining non-stop and the temperature has been mild so there’s been plenty of people on the mountain wearing hoodies or soft-shell jackets. Every day my face and hands are becoming browner, but this is a double-edged sword as it also means that my goggle tan is starting to become more apparent - despite trying to even it out by wearing sunglasses on the chairlifts.

When you’re surrounded by snow it can be easy to forget the dangers of the sun, but it’s important to remember that at altitude you’re even more susceptible to UV damage from the sun. Make sure you carry some high factor sun cream in your pocket or rucksack and remember to keep applying it to your face every hour or so.

I’m really impressed with the current conditions of the slopes across Grandvalira – it’s been a couple of weeks since the last significant snowfall, but the coverage remains good, with 201 kilometres of pisted runs open across the domain (out of a total of 210 kilometres). This morning the pistes felt hard compact as the cold temperature had hardened the snow overnight, but by midday the sun had warmed the pistes, softening them up and making them feel more forgiving.

Although the UK half term school holidays are over, it’s still been pretty busy in Grandvalira due to Carnival this weekend – a Spanish bank holiday. There was a big queue for the Cubil chairlift for most of the day as it’s the one and only link from Grau Roig to Soldeu sectors, however it didn’t take longer than 5 minutes to get to the front as we decided to take the single-riders queue instead. From the top of Cubil there’s several routes you can choose from so generally the crowds disperse. The main disadvantage was that by the afternoon a lot of the pistes today had become pretty chopped up and littered with man-made moguls which are a dream for some skiiers, but not so much for me.

My favourite run of the day was the boarder-cross track at the top of the TK Coma II T-bar drag lift. It’s a really fun blue run with high outside walls – perfect for keeping your speed up – and also a few fun features to ride like a rainbow box and small kickers. The track is designed for snowboarders training for boarder-cross racing, but it’s a great fun run no matter what your discipline, and it’s also suitable for all abilities from advanced beginner and above.

If you’re coming to resort soon keep an eye on the forecast as currently there’s some light snow fall forecast around mid-week next week. Could more powder days be on the horizon? We’ll have to keep our fingers crossed & wait and see!

It’s been another glorious day here in Grandvalira, characterised by sunshine, blue sky and mild temperatures around 6 degrees. After checking the forecast this morning I decided a long-sleeved base layer wasn’t necessary and instead simply wore a sports vest underneath my insulated ski jacket.

Despite the unusually mild temperature for February, there’s still good coverage on the slopes, with 206 kilometres of pistes open across the ski domain. At the end of January and start of February we had so much snowfall (around one metre), and we’re still reaping the benefits of this big dump even now as the Grandvalira snow maintenance teams have been able to shift snow from other areas on the mountain to ensure the most enjoyable conditions. In addition to this, every night the piste bashers are doing a fantastic job at grooming the pistes to ensure that there’s good, even coverage across the ski domain.

In recent days, the best part of the day is definitely in the morning when the pistes are freshly groomed and undisturbed by the hundreds of skiers and snowboarders eager to explore. This morning the pistes were firm and grippy, making for a fast, controlled ride. As the day progressed, the consistency of the snow became soft and slushy – particularly on runs which had been in the sunshine for the majority of the day. I actually quite like these sorts of conditions as they are more forgiving, although a little slower to ride.  

Today, my favourite run was the blue L’Avi run which we accessed via a secret track to the left of the fence on the red Serrat Pinos run. I was delighted to discover that the track had been completely untouched as laying ahead of us was the beautiful, soft, pattern of corduroy created by the piste-bashers last night. It’s always such a privilege to be the first person to ride a run, although it sometimes seems a shame to ruin such beautiful work with the lines carved into the snow by our snowboards as we weaved our way down to the bottom of the Llac de Cubil chairlift.

Time flies when you’re having fun, and that’s certainly been true of the UK half term school holidays this week!

Every day we’ve been blessed with beautiful weather, and today was no exception. The sun has been shining all day and I haven’t seen a single cloud in the sky. The temperature has been mild at around 3 degrees so the cold breeze on the chairlifts was very much welcomed. On days like today, I’m definitely grateful for the vents on my jacket, helmet and pants! 

It’s been just over two weeks since the last significant snowfall but the conditions on the slopes are still enjoyable, with up to 207km of pistes open and ready to be explored.

Overall the coverage is pretty decent, although a little irregular in places. This morning the pistes felt hard and grippy, but by afternoon they softening up a little due to the mild temperature. As it’s such a busy week some slopes have been getting a little choppy towards the afternoon, but this is no problem for the piste bashers who will groom the pistes to perfection again overnight.

My favourite run of the day was the blue Riu Cubil which joins on from  Neret at the top of Funicamp gondola. Riu Cubil is a flat track which takes you on a journey right through the middle of the valley.  It’s completely secluded from all the other pistes so, like today, it’s usually pretty quiet. For me, the quieter runs are some of the best as it allows you to ride with freedom and confidence whilst enjoying the views.

The UK half term holidays are finally here! There’s been a great atmosphere in resort this afternoon as people come off the slopes smiling after a great day of exploring Grandvalira. The sun has been shining all day and the temperature has been relatively mild (around 1 degrees), so it’s no wonder why everyone’s in an infectious feel-good holiday mood.

On days like today, the terraces of Olimpiades and Pas 83 are a great place to soak up the sunshine and watch skiiers and snowboarders riding down the slopes right in front of you. We all love people watching, and here’s definitely a good place for it!

The conditions on the slopes are pretty good even though the last significant snowfall was around two weeks ago. As it’s a particularly busy week, the snow gets pushed around more than usual, so by the afternoon the pistes can be pretty chopped up in places, which also exposes the harder compact snow underneath. This week, it definitely pays to be an earlybird – so make sure you get up the slopes nice and early to take advantage of the freshly groomed pistes and grippy corduroy texture.

Unsurprisingly, the queues at some chairlifts are longer than usual this week due to the volume of people visiting Grandvalira. The Cubil chairlift sees the most traffic as it links the Grau Roig and Soldeu sectors, however don’t forget there’s an individuals queue which you can use to beat the queue if you don’t mind riding the chairlift with strangers!

My favourite run of the day was Moreto run – a relatively steep, straight run which takes you from the top of the Cubil chairlift down to the centre of Grau Roig sector. The piste was virtually deserted as most people choose to head down to Grau Roig via the scenic red Cami de Pessons run instead, however the views from the top of Moreto are just as impressive. As you’re so high, you can see all the Grau Roig sector ahead of you and get a good ‘lay of the land’. The snow on this run was hard and grippy at the top but became softer and more forgiving towards the very bottom.

If you’re in resort this week, don’t forget there’s night skiing on Thursday and Saturday evening from 5pm to 8pm on the blue Tubs run which is accessible via the Solana chairlift. The run is lit up with floodlights, allowing you to get a few extra laps in before dinner!

The half-term school holidays kick off on Monday, marking the busiest week of the winter season as families from all around the UK come to Andorra to experience skiing in Grandvalira - the biggest ski resort in the Pyrenees and Southern Europe. Despite the upcoming holiday, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the slopes were lovely and quiet today in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig, and this provided me with extra motivation to make the most of the glorious weather today.

The sun hasn’t stopped shining and I haven’t seen a cloud in the sky all day. At the top of Pas de la Casa, all I could see for miles was the contrast of blindingly-white, snowy mountains and the clear, vibrant, bright blue sky. I’ve seen a lot of red, sore, sunburnt faces in resort over the last few days, so make sure you’re not one of these people and remember to top up on the suncream throughout the day! I like to use Aussie Gold 50 SPF sun-block stick – it’s pocket size and doesn’t leave your face feeling greasy, plus, you don’t have to worry about it spilling which is also a bonus.

We’ve had pretty mild temperatures today at around 2 degrees, however by the afternoon the temperature dropped slightly as the wind picked up and the face of Pas de la Casa became shaded as the sun dropped down behind the mountain. Even still, it was hardly Baltic weather though – just a long sleeved base layer under my jacket was more than enough to keep me warm even in the colder part of the afternoon.

The slopes are maintaining good snow coverage despite the warmer temperatures of the last few days. Whilst this morning the pistes felt quite hard due to the cold temperatures overnight, by afternoon the sun had softened these up a little, making them more forgiving.  

My favourite run of the day was the blue Isards run in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa. This is a really cruisy blue run which is nestled away in a corner of Pas de la Casa that many people simply don’t discover. To get there, you have to take the Coll de Isards chairlift in the Ski School beginner’s area, and then take a fairly long drag lift up to the top of the run. The views from the drag lift itself are simply stunning, and you get a real sense of tranquillity as there’s hardly anyone else behind or in front of you.  At the top, there were a couple of people choosing to take advantage of the beautiful weather and gorgeous scenery by stopping for a picnic break. The run itself is pretty gentle with some slightly steeper sections, making it a good option for advanced beginners. You’re well protected by the walls of the surrounding mountains, making it a good choice for windier days too.

The weather reminded me of my mother today – it just couldn’t quite seem to make up it’s mind. Whereas the last few days we’ve experienced gorgeous bluebird days characterised by sunshine and clear blue sky, today the weather was slightly more variable, with windows of sunshine overshadowed by clouds intermittently throughout the day. As a result, the light was a little flat at times, but it wasn’t too long before the sun and pockets of blue sky reappeared.

The temperature has been around -6 degrees with a windchill of -15 degrees, however it was only really on the chairlifts that it felt cold. The Pic Blanc chairlift from Grau Roig to Pas de la Casa in was especially chilly, however this is often the case as it’s a pretty long, exposed lift which connects these two sectors. Luckily, the views of Grau Roig from the Pic Blanc chairlift are so stunning though that it’s worth it.

The slopes are in good condition thanks to the heavy snowfall we received at the end of January - not to mention the hard work of the piste-bashers who expertly groom the slopes overnight, every night. The fact that there’s 204 kilometres of pisted runs open (out of a total of 210 kilometres) is testament quality of conditions and Grandvalira’s commitment to maintaining an enjoyable ski area.  

Some sections became a little polished in places as the day progressed, but the trick is to read the terrain ahead of you and avoid turning on the harder, compact sections of snow. For me, I’ll ride the sides of the pistes as the coverage is usually better here since most people tend to ski down the middle of the run, pushing snow to the sides of the pistes.

 My favourite run of the day was the red Montmallus run which is tucked away in the corner of Grau Roig. Montmallus is often bypassed or left undiscovered by a lot of visitors to Grandvalira as it’s hidden out of sight of the busier, popular pistes like Pala Nova and Pista Llarga which take you from Pas de la Casa into Grau Roig. As a result, this run is usually pretty quiet (if not empty) and today was no exception.

Making it to the top of the long button-lift ride to the top of Montmallus often feels like an achievement in itself, but the scenery that greets you make it even better. All you can see are the snowy mountains and forest surrounding you - there’s not even a chairlift in sight. Here, you can take in the beautiful winter landscape and feel completely away from it the hustle and bustle of your normal day to day life.

Although marked as a red, the run itself is pretty easy going with lots of interesting twists and turns. On powder days, it’s a fantastic place for those who enjoy riding off-piste through the trees, and at the end of the run, there’s also the children’s Imaginarium circuit which takes you on a fun obstacle course through the forest.

You can access Montmallus via the blue Bosc run which runs to the left of the Grau Roig snow park. Just prepare yourself for what can feel like a challenging button-lift (especially if you’re a snowboarder!) – but take my word for it, it’s absolutely worth the ride.

It’s been a beautiful bluebird day on the mountain today - the sun has been shining all day long and the sky has been a gorgeous shade of blue streaked with wispy white clouds. The temperature has been a little milder today at around 1 degrees but the cold, gentle breeze helped to cool me down on the chairlift rides in between runs.  

With 204 kilometres of pistes currently open across the Grandvalira ski domain, today was all about clocking up the kilometres for me and my friends so we decided to take a ride to Soldeu and back. Depending on your ability and which route you take, it only takes around 45 minutes each way, and there’s a variety of blues, reds and (some) blacks to choose from along the way. The most direct route though is via some of Grandvalira’s best red runs:

TSD4 Pas de la Casa chairlift > Pala Nova red run > Cubil chairlift > Serrat Pinos red run > Pla de les Pedres Soldeu chairlift > Serra de les Solanelles > TLC Solana rope tow. From the rope tow, you can take the blue Os or Bosc Fosc runs to the bottom of Soldeu.

The majority of slopes are currently in fantastic condition after the generous amount of snowfall we’ve received over the last couple of weeks. Some sections of the red Serrat Pinos ‘motorway’ run felt a little scratchy on the rollers, but this was the excepetion. Overall the coverage across the ski domain is good, and the pistes are pretty soft and forgiving.

My favourite run of the day was the red Directa run in Pas de la Casa. This run can sometimes be challenging due to the moguls which are created as the day progresses, and also because of the volume of people making their way down this popular run. Today though, Directa was super quiet so the piste was unspoilt by moguls or people. In this moment, we had the freedom to ride for our life and enjoy the gorgeous views of resort and the surrounding mountains on our way down. Not a bad way to end the day if you ask me!

Today is a reminder of how quickly conditions on the mountain can change. Yesterday, we were blessed with the best bluebird day of the season, characterised by gorgeous clear blue sky, relentless sunshine and great snow conditions. Today though light snowfall and low clouds returned, reducing the visibility and making the mountain peaks disappear into whiteness. The temperature was slightly warmer at -1 degrees, so just a vest and long sleeved thermal under my jacket was plenty to keep me warm on the long chairlift rides.

The snowfall this morning felt a wet in consistency which made the pistes feel slow and sticky to ride, and at times it felt like I was close to catching an edge. In places, the slopes were a little choppy higher up due to lots of people making the same turns, and as result popular pistes such as the red Pala Nova and Pista Llarga runs were more challenging to ride than usual.

The snow conditions today stand in contrast to the soft, even, forgiving snow we experienced across Grandvalira yesterday, but perhaps I’m being a little unfair. After all, yesterday was a particularly exceptional day, and the coverage on the mountain remains fantastic, with a maximum snow depth of 165cm.

By around 3pm this afternoon, the weather cleared up a little – the snowfall ceased, the clouds lifted and the sun even made a brief appearance, temporarily improving the visibility on the slopes. The consistency of the snow on the pistes felt better even after half an hour or so without wet snowfall.  

My favourite run of the day was the blue Neret run in Grandvalira-Encamp. Neret is a great option if you’ve got little kids, or even if you’re a big kid yourself; the piste takes you on a windy journey through archways and obstacles, and there’s also a little tunnel you can ride through. It’s a good choice if you want to avoid the steep top section of the red Entradort run, although you do have to join this further down in order to get to Llac de Cubil chairlift. The snow conditions on Neret today were good, and the piste was virtually deserted meaning we could have some fun riding through the obstacles.

The forecast tomorrow is looking clearer than today with prolonged sunny spells expected throughout the day. If you’re heading up the mountain make sure you bring your suncream unless you want to be going home with a not-so-flattering goggle tan!

February begins, but the fantastic snow conditions continue! If you’ve been following us on Facebook and Instagram you’ll know that we’ve been blessed with A LOT of snow over the last week or two.

Today, strong winds (around 25km/h) meant that higher, exposed areas such as the ridge at the top of Antennes chairlift were a little windblown, but the overall coverage on the slopes remains fantastic. The maximum snow depth is currently 160cm and there’s a good layer of soft snow on the pistes. As the day progressed, some pistes became a little choppy and hard work on the legs; meanwhile, other runs such as Tubs in Pas de la Casa and the lower, wider section of Directa remained smooth and grippy, making for a cruisy carefree ride.

The weather has been variable today with cloudy sky low, flat white light, and the occasional window of blue sky and sunshine. The main consistency has been the bitterly cold temperature, which has been around -8 degrees with a windchill of around -17 degrees. Once you get riding you soon warm up, but it definitely felt pretty chilly sat on the chairlifts today – especially the Pic Blanc lift which stretches across Grau Roig to Pas de la Casa.

My favourite run of the day was the red Pista Llarga run which takes you from the top of Pas de la Casa to the base of the ANtennes chairlift. The run has a great mixture of terrain – at the top, the piste starts off nice and wide but turns into a narrow track before opening out again. Before reaching the final section of the run you can look to the right and on clear days you can see all the way to Borders d’Envalira and Soldeu.

The snow is forecast to continue over the weekend, and the temperature will stay well below zero (around -12 degrees) so wrap up warm in plenty of layers if you’re heading up the mountain! High winds of around 60 km/h are expected tomorrow, so stick to the lower pistes where possible, or head to Grau Roig where the slopes are better protected from the elements. Whatever you do and wherever you go, I hope you have fun and enjoy the snow!

The snow just keeps falling here in Grandvalira! The streets in Pas de la Casa have been covered with thick snow which in some places is knee-deep! The coverage on the slopes is absolutely fantastic and the maximum snow depth on the mountain has increased to 180cm. The consistency of the snow is soft and fluffy with deeper powder-like conditions to dabble in and out of on the sides of the pistes.

It’s not really been a day for exploring far off-piste though as the visibility has been pretty irregular due to the low clouds, snowfall and flat white light. Standing at the base of the slopes this afternoon the chairlifts disappeared into whiteness and you couldn’t even make out the iconic Coll Blanc panoramic restaurant which stands at the top of the mountain. In these sorts of conditions I prefer to stick to the lower pistes as the visibility is generally better at even slightly lower altitudes. For example, today I’d recommend the blue Tubs run which comes down from the Solana chairlift in resort, or the blue Bosc run which comes down from the Coma Blanca chairlift in Grandvalira Grau Roig. Not only was the visibility better on these runs, but the slopes have less of an incline and are well-pisted, so you can trust the terrain a little more despite the flat light.

My favourite run of the day was the blue Port run which snakes down from the top of Antennes chairlift back into Pas de la Casa resort. It’s such a cruisy run and the visibility improved once we were off of the Antennes ridge, so it made for a nice relaxed ride. Better yet, we didn’t see a single person until we reached Costa Rodona restaurant!

The wind is expected to pick up this evening to around 65km/h and the snowfall will become heavier, so if you’re heading out this evening wrap up warm and take care on the pavements. Looking at the forecast it looks like the snow is set to continue for the rest of the week, and on Friday and Saturday we may see the sun make a brief reappearance. Could it be a bluebird powder day I wonder!?

If you’ve been following us on Facebook and Instagram you’ll already know that since Wednesday the snow has been dumping down on us big time! There’s a great atmosphere in resort, with plenty of happy faces and lots of tired legs from all the riding over the last few days.

The snow depth in resort is around 30cm to 60cm in places, and yesterday I even saw a few people attempting to snowboarding down the street as there’s that much snow! (Although for safety reasons I wouldn’t recommend trying this yourselves – stick to the snow on the pistes!) The bars and restaurants have had their work cut out for them clearing all the snow from their rooves and the council have been working hard to clear the snow from the roads and pavements.

The maximum depth on the mountain has increased to 135cm, and needless to say, the coverage on the slopes is fantastic. As usual, the better snow conditions can be found in Grandvalira Grau Roig sector as its relatively well-sheltered from the wind and generally quieter.

Due to high winds and safety reasons, some of the lifts in Pas de la Casa had to be temporarily closed on-and-off throughout the day; however the Solana chairlift was running for most the day, and the Font Negre six man chairlift was opened, allowing access to Grandvalira-Grau Roig and the other sectors.

The snowfall continued lightly throughout the day - this morning the consistency was a little wet  but by afternoon it became heavier and thicker. The visibility has been low today thanks to the clouds and snowfall, however the visibility improved further afield on the face of Grandvalira Soldeu and Grandvalira El Tarter sectors due to their lower altitude.

Tomorrow we can expect a clearer day, however by Sunday heavy snowfall is forecast to return, with another 17cm of snow expected. Keep those powder days coming Mother Nature!!

It’s amazing how quickly the weather changes in the mountains. Yesterday, the slopes of Grandvalira were disappearing into the clouds; the visibility was incredibly low (you could only see a couple of metres ahead of you); and by afternoon snow had begun to fall. In comparison, today was mostly characterised by blue sky, sunshine, and clear visibility (although admittedly, by afternoon the clouds began to gather once again and the light became flat).

Despite the physical change in appearance of the weather, the temperature today was numbingly cold, around -7 degrees thanks to the wind-chill. Even just the tiniest gap between my neck buff and my face made me feel like I was experiencing ‘brain freeze’ – i.e. the numbing sensation you get when you eat ice cream too quickly!

Grandvalira haven’t missed a beat though and had the snow cannons blasting across the snow domain today, taking advantage of the cold temperature. The slopes are maintaining pretty good snow coverage on the majority of open pistes, of which there’s 160kilometres available to ride across the Grandvalira ski domain.

By mid-afternoon the slopes felt harder as snow had become pushed around, and the corners of some bends (like the blue Tortuga run) were a little polished and scratchy. In these conditions, it’s usually wise to stick to the side of the pistes where the coverage is more reliable.

The best run of the day was the blue Fugida run which veers off the red Serrat Pinos run towards Pla de les Pedres Grau Roig chairlift. Fugida is a good option for those wanting to avoid the big rollers of Serrat Pinos - also known as ‘the motorway’ run. Fugida is a great ‘scenic route’ and a pleasure to ride due to its seclusion from the main piste.

Currently the forecast is predicting light snowfall from this evening. By mid-week, the snowfall is expected to become heavier with over one metre of snow predicted over Wednesday and Thursday! Powder days ahoy!!

This afternoon I stepped off the slopes in Pas de la Casa smiling like the cat who got the cream. The sun has been shining all day, and the conditions this morning were fantastic, with good, even coverage and grippy snow across the majority of pistes.

As the conditions were so enjoyable in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig sectors, we didn’t even want to venture further afield. Instead, we decided to lap the face of Pas de la Casa several times, choosing different routes each time, before taking the Cubil chairlift to the top of Grau Roig. One of the many things I love about Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig is the variety of terrain and runs to choose from. No matter what your ability, there’s something for everyone, and plenty of options to keep you entertained and/or challenged.

The blue Tubs run stood out as one of the best runs of the day thanks to the excellent work of Grandvalira’s piste-bashers who had groomed the run overnight with beautiful corduroy lines. This is a popular piste for beginners due to its gentle, wide slope, and can be accessed from the base of Pas de la Casa via the Solana lift, or via the red Directa run. If you’re in resort on a Thursday or Saturday, don’t forget you can enjoy night skiing on the Tubs run between 5pm and 8pm (weather permitting) – perfect for those of you who just can’t get enough of the mountain!

At two degrees and 5km/h winds it’s felt a little warmer today than in recent days; however, the temperature is forecast to drop again on Wednesday to around -6 degrees, so if you’re coming out soon make sure you come prepared with plenty of layers! Light snowfall is expected from Wednesday, with around 24cm of fresh snow forecast for Saturday. Did someone say powder day??

Over the last couple of days we’ve been blessed with fresh snowfall here in Grandvalira. The pavements of Pas de la Casa are snowy once again, and the depth at the top of the slopes has increased to 50cm. The conditions on the slopes have improved, adding to the great work already achieved by Grandvalira’s piste bashers and snow cannons over the last week or so.

Due to strong winds yesterday (40-50 km/h), some of the higher, more exposed pistes such as the Serrat Pinos red run were windblown and a little hard in places; however, the coverage on the slopes overall is pretty good and feeling much more regular than even a week ago. The consistency of the snow is soft and fluffy – perfect for digging in the edges and practicing some carving!

Despite the sunshine, the temperature today has been around -9 degrees, with a wind chill of -19 degrees. Having checked the forecast this morning I was prepared for the cold weather, so I wrapped myself up in a long-sleeved merino wool base layer, a down-feather jacket, and my winter jacket on top. Although I was sweltering hot before stepping outside, this was just about enough layers to keep me warm for the day! I didn’t have to worry about catching the sun or windburn as I spent most of the day with my face hidden behind my fleecy neck buff. In these temperatures, exposing your face or hands for even just a few moments is enough to make you go numb!

The best run of the day was the red Entradort run, which we reached via the blue Neret slope – a short, narrow cruisy blue in Grandvalira-Encamp which is popular for both children and beginners. Although it was later in the afternoon, there was still lots of thick fluffy powder to the side of Entradort - always such a brilliant feeling! Grandalles red run in Grandvalira-Grau Roig was also a great choice, with good coverage, grippy snow and steep terrain – perfect for adrenaline junkies!

The temperature is forecast to remain below freezing (around -4 degrees) with more snowfall forecast from tomorrow evening and on Sunday, so wrap up warm and enjoy the snow!

Today has marked a significant change in recent weather conditions. Instead of the blue skies and sunshine we've been expreriencing over the last couple of weeks, the sky has been grey all day, with snow clouds gathering and enveloping the mountain peaks across Grandvalira. By around 3pm, small, light snowflakes began to fall, resulting in lots of smiling faces and a few 'woohoo!'s from passing snowboarders. 

Needless to say, the temperature has felt even colder than recent days - around -12 degrees thanks to the south-easterly wind which has been blowing around 30km/h. In windy conditions, Grau Roig is usually one of the best sectors to ride as the majority of its slopes descend into a bowl which is well-protected by the surrounding mountains. In particular, the Cami de Pessons red run is a great option as the track is a little more secluded, and also protected by the mountains on your right, and the trees on your left. Plus, there's the Llac de Pessons restaurant which is a perfect place to warm up over a rich hot-chocolate or mulled wine!

The visibility on the mountain today was irregular due to the low clouds and flat-white light. In these conditions, it's difficult to judge the terrain in front of you, but orange-lense goggles are a great help if you have them! It sounds counter-intuitive, but one of the best things you can do is stay relaxed and keep your knees and your body fluid so you can easily respond to any unexpected bumps or changes in the terrain. 

Thanks to the colder temperature of recent days, the snow cannons have helped to improve the conditions on the slopes. Overall, the coverage is currently pretty good; although some sections of the slopes do still feel hard, with compact snow underneath the sugary cannon snow. 

Now that the festive celebrations of Christmas, New Year and the Three Kings are out the way, the mountain is feeling much quieter, so there's no need to queue for any of the chairlifts, and on some runs the piste was virtually empty! 

If you're coming to Grandvalira over the next few days make sure you pack plenty of layers, a fleecy neckbuff and thick, insulated gloves as snow showers are forecast to continue throughout the rest of the week. Woohoo!

It’s felt noticeably colder today with lows of -6 degrees and 20km/h winds. My fleecy neck buff saved the day, however as the cold began to set in on the chairlifts I regretted only wearing my glove liners rather than my thicker, insulated mitts. Don’t learn the lesson the hard way - it’s always better to layer up and dress for colder conditions!

Thanks to the colder temperature, the snow cannons have been on full-blast across the whole ski domain throughout the day and overnight, adding to the existing base and encouraging more reliable conditions. The slopes are still hard and a little scratchy in some areas, however the sugary cannon snow makes for a pleasant ride and, overall, the conditions have improved even in just the last few days.

As the day progressed, the cannon snow had been pushed around a bit, exposing some harder areas on the slopes. The trick is to avoid these areas by riding on the side of the piste where there’s usually a build up of snow… and less people to contend with!

The most enjoyable run of the day was Solanelles - a nice cruisy blue which takes you from Funicamp to the bottom of the Pla de les Pedres Grau Roig chairlift. The coverage on Solanelles was pretty good all over, and as the piste is nice and flat it’s a good, relaxed run to build confidence.

Overall, it’s been an enjoyable day on the mountain today. Although we’re not experiencing prime conditions compared to this time last year, the slopes are still pleasant enough to ride and Grandvalira continue to do a brilliant job investing time and money into maintaining the conditions.

Snow is forecast on Tuesday evening and Wednesday next week, so watch this space and keep your fingers crossed!

The slopes have been busy today with people enjoying the festive period and burning off all those extra calories consumed over the last few days. For the first time this season, there was a queue for the Pic Blanc and Colibri chairlifts in Grandvalira Grau Roig, but it only took a few minutes to get to the front.

The sun has been shining all day, but the air has felt pretty cold with lows of -3 degrees and 10kmh winds. 

Overnight Grandvalira have been blasting the snow cannons to maintain coverage on the slopes. This afternoon the conditions were variable - whilst there’s top layer of soft sugary cannon snow on the pistes, some sections quickly become unexpectedly hard, so take care and stick to the slopes you feel most comfortable with. In places the slopes have become chopped up as the day progresses, but this will easily be rectified by the good work of Grandvalira’s piste bashers tonight.

The afternoon started off with the red Pala Nova run towards Grau Roig. The top section of this run was challenging due to the moguls which have formed throughout the day, but became more enjoyable as it flattened out towards the bottom.

The most favourable conditions though were on the red Directa run into Pas de la Casa resort. Although the top section was pretty chopped up by afternoon, the lower two thirds of the slopes had smoother, more reliable coverage. The piste gets wider the closer you get to resort, allowing you to spread out and enjoy the ride.

It’s been a calm day on the mountain with quiet slopes and low winds around 10km/h. The air has felt cold, with lows of -3 degrees but the temperature hasn’t been as biting compared to recent days.

Deciding to take advantage of the calm conditions, we enjoyed a drink on the Colibri snack bar terrace (Grandvalira Encamp) whilst taking in the view of the surrounding valleys. From here, you can see mountains for miles and watch the Funicamp gondola disappear into the distance.

By 3pm the sun started to disappear behind the clouds as the sky became overcast and the light turned flat. In conditions like this it’s sometimes hard to judge the terrain in front of you, but it’s a good idea to stay relaxed and fluid so your body can respond to any unexpected changes in the terrain.

It’s been a few days since the last snowfall, but the slopes are maintaining good coverage, with any harder patches cordoned off by piste markers. If you’re stopping on the slopes to wait for your friends, make sure you leave enough space either side of the markers so others can still ride through!

Yesterday we enjoyed a beautiful bluebird day in Grandvalira, characterised by blue skies, sunshine, and fresh powder. Today, the temperature has dropped, the clouds have started to roll in, and the wind has picked up to around 30km/h. It’s felt pretty chilly on the chairlifts at times, but it never takes long to warm up once hitting the slopes!

Due to the high winds, some higher, more exposed areas such as the top of the Llac de Cubil chairlift, have become a bit hard and windblown; however most of the open pistes are maintaining good snow coverage, and Grandvalira are continuing to do a fantastic job of ensuring enjoyable conditions.

On days like today, Grandvalira Grau Roig is a great place to take refuge from the wind and enjoy the snow-sure slopes as it’s protected by the surrounding mountains. In particular, the red Cami de Pessons red run in Grandvalira Grau Roig made for a great ride due to the good coverage of soft snow.

The first 100 metres or so of Cami de Pessons is open and a little exposed, but as soon as you’re on the cat-track you’re well sheltered from the wind, not to mention the views are stunning. Although the run is classified as a red, the slope is actually quite gentle throughout. You do need to have good technique though as the piste gets a little narrow in places, and there's some small rollers for which you need to maintain good speed.

As the day went on, the sun made intermittent appearances through the clouds, but for now the temperatures are set to remain low, falling to below zero degrees overnight. Snow showers are forecast for tonight and tomorrow afternoon. Winter is back, and we reckon it’s just going to keep getting better and better!

Over the last 24 hours, Grandvalira has been blessed with fresh snow, transforming the resort and the mountains into a winter wonderland. Currently, there’s up to 40cm of snow at the highest parts of Grandvalira Pas de la Casa, and 52km piste available to ride across the ski domain.

Thanks to the snowfall and Grandvalira’s dedication, 20 slopes within Grandvalira Soldeu and Grandvalira El Tarter will be open from tomorrow, offering 100km of piste to enjoy this weekend!  

The snow has continued to fall lightly on and off throughout the day, and winds have reached up to 30km per hour. The visibility was affected by the nearly white-out, flat light conditions, and the wind chill was a very cold -12 degrees! In conditions like these, orange-lensed goggles are great to help improve visibility, meanwhile a fleecy neck buff and warm gloves are an absolute essential!

My favourite run of the day was the red Llac piste which snakes down from the top of TSD4 Pas de la Casa into resort. The run starts off with a gentle, weaving cat track which – on a clear day - you can ride whilst admiring the view. The piste widens out and get’s a little steeper before flattening out at the bottom as you ride past ski school beginners area. I love the variety of terrain on this run, and it’s perhaps a less intimidating route back into resort, compared to the red Directa run which can sometimes be a little crowded and spoiled by moguls.

In some places the piste was a little wind blown, however overall the coverage on the mountain is looking good. With more snow forecast tomorrow evening and into early next week, we’re feeling pretty confident that the conditions will only get better. Right now, it looks like it’s set to be a very White Christmas!

Currently there’s 52km of piste available to ride in Grandvalira, with Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig and Encamp sectors partially open and linked; however for now, Soldeu, El Tarter and Canillo sectors  remain closed. The temperature is continuing to drop though, meaning Grandvalira have turned the snow cannons back on and are hard at work preparing the slopes across the rest of the ski domain.

Despite the irregular conditions over the last week or so, the open slopes within Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig and Encamp remain promising, with decent coverage and grippy snow. A few slopes are a little harder; however any significantly patchy or icy areas have been cordoned off with piste markers or netting.

By far, my favourite run today was the red Serrat Pinos piste, which takes you from the top of the Cubil lift down to the base of Pla de les Pedres lift, linking Grau Roig with Encamp. The rolling hills are so much fun to ride, and better yet – the piste was virtually deserted! There’s a great sense of freedom having the piste all to yourself - it feels both liberating and lonesome all at the same time.

I took the opportunity to practice some carving, and make the most of the empty lifts by lapping runs to my hearts content. Conditions aren't at their peak, but there's still a lot of fun to be had on the mountain! - As with most things in life, time on the mountain is as good as you make it.

With moderate snowfall forecast on Thursday, we’re expecting that conditions will improve further, so watch this space for more updates!

It’s Friday, and Pas de la Casa definitely has that TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday) feeling! As it’s the Spanish bank holiday “puente”, the resort has been busy with lots of Spanish tourists excited to hit the slopes or enjoy some downtime in Pas de la Casa’s many bars and restaurants.

The slopes have been busier than in previous days, but it’s not overcrowded which is great. Perhaps the busiest place on the mountain was Coll Blanc terrace, where lots of people were soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the chilled music... not to mention a cold beer or two!

We’ve been experiencing some unusually warm temperatures in Grandvalira recently, and as it’s at the start of the season the snow conditions are currently varied, with some areas a little hard or bumpy. However, there was still enough coverage to enjoy a good ride from Pas de la Casa to Grau Roig, and besides, who doesn’t love spending time in the mountains!?

Today’s the day we’ve been waiting for since April – Grandvalira opening day! And what a wonderful start to winter 2018/19 it’s been so far. We’ve been blessed with gorgeous blue skies and sunshine this afternoon, and there’s been very little wind, meaning that we stayed nice and toasty whilst on the lifts!

The snow is looking promising so far with good coverage on the slopes and a light, crystal-like quality. In some places the snow is a little compact, but with more snowfall on its way that’s bound to change.

As conditions improve further, we’ll see more pistes opening up across the ski domain - currently, the Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig sectors are partially open, and Grandvalira expect to open Soldeu, El Tarter, Encamp and Canillo this Wednesday (5 December).

Since today is the first day of the season the slopes were lovely and quiet, allowing us to get our riding legs back on without too many tumbles. If you’re a beginner, now’s a great time to visit Grandvalira as you can benefit from having the pistes all to yourself a.k.a. some ‘piste and quiet’!

Our favourite run of the day was the red Pista Llarga run, which comes down from the top of TSD4 Pas de la Casa chairlift, to the base of TSD6 Pic Blanc chairlift in Grandvalira Grau Roig. As always, the views in Grandvalira Grau Roig were absolutely stunning, and the sight of snow-covered mountains as far as the eye can see never fails to take my breath away.

So here it is – the last snow report for Pas de la Casa this season! For those of you who have been following us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, I’m sure you’ll agree that winter 2017/18 has been an absolutely fantastic season characterised by brilliant weather conditions; regular, heavy snowfall; and powder days galore! We’ve even been lucky enough to experience powder days in Spring, and if you don’t believe me you can watch the latest video here:  http://bit.ly/Spring-Powder-Pas-de-la-Casa-2018

Although we are now almost at the end of the first week of April, the snow coverage on the slopes remains excellent. The snow was initially a little hard compact this morning, however by midday the slopes became soft and playful thanks to today’s mild temperature of around 7 degrees. By around 3pm though, the sunshine and blue skies of this morning gave way to heavy grey clouds and we could feel spots of rain on our skin which made the consistency of the snow become a little sticky and slow. The visibility reduced with the arrival of the grey clouds and the light became flat, making it a little difficult to judge the terrain ahead.

The slopes in Pas de la Casa today were pretty populated due to the vast number of Portuguese people who are currently in resort, attending the Sumol festival which has been on over the last few days. Sumol, a Portuguese fizzy soft drink company similar to Fanta, currently have an inflatable marquee stand at the base of the slopes where they are giving away cans of their iconic drink. There’s a good atmosphere amongst the Portuguese getting involved although it has made the route to the chairlifts a little congested at times!

Wanting to avoid the crowds we headed to Grau Roig, where the slopes are generally much quieter. My favourite run of the day was Grandelles in Grandvalira Grau Roig which leads down towards the Antennes chairlift. Grandelles is a relatively long run which isn’t too steep, despite it being classified as a red, and the mountain views to your right are so stunning. The first section of the run is pretty straight which means you can pick up a lot of speed before it flattens out in the middle section.

Tomorrow is the last day of the FIS World Cup Speed Skiing Finals, which are being held on the black Riberal slope in Grandvalira Grau Roig. If you’re in Grandvalira, then this is an exciting event not to be missed. The speeds of the skiers are incredible – last year Swiss skier Philippe May achieved 199.56 km/h on the Riberal slope; meanwhile the World Record is  held by Valentina Greggio at 247,083 km/h, and Ivan ORIGONE at 254,958 km/h. You can watch the skiers from the sides of the Riberal slope, or from the Pic Blanc chairlift which transports you from Grau Roig to Pas de la Casa.

We can expect another mild day tomorrow with temperatures around 6 degrees, but be prepared for 45 km/h winds which will bring a wind chill of around -2 degrees. In the afternoon we may see some more rain showers, but by Sunday morning the temperature is due to drop and the rain clouds will turn to light snow showers. If you’re headed up the mountain, I hope you have a fantastic time. If not, I hope you manage to make it to Pas de la Casa next winter for another fantastic season!

It’s been another gorgeous Spring day in Grandvalira today – the sun has been shining, the sky has been mostly blue with a few clouds, and the temperature in resort has felt relatively mild at around 4 degrees.

High winds of around 40 km/h sent a bitter chill across the mountains though, meaning that the temperature felt more like -6 degrees when sat on the chairlifts which were moving a little slower than usual today. The wind was strongest in the most exposed spots on the mountain, in particular the top of the Pic Blanc chairlift. We took the top part of the red Pista Llarga run down to Coll Blanc restaurant, where the wind was so strong that it felt like it was blowing us sideways!

On windy days like today, it’s best to stick to the lower, more sheltered parts of the mountain which is why we headed in the direction of Grandvalira Grau Roig. The Grau Roig sector is made up of surrounding mountains which form a bowl that is generally well-sheltered from the wind. In particular, the red Montmallus and Cami de Pessons runs were a particular good choice today as they are a little more secluded and protected from the elements as the wind was coming from the direction of Grandvalira Encamp, the black Mirador and red Moreto runs which come down from the Cubil chairlift were also a little calmer, as the slopes form a barrier against the wind.

If you’re an advanced beginner or above, heading to Soldeu or El Tarter is also a wise choice on windy days as it’s at a lower altitude, a little less exposed to the wind, and has more options for lower, sheltered runs.

The snow consistency is currently soft, slushy and playful thanks to the milder temperatures of recent days, and although we are only five days away from the end of the season the coverage on the slopes continues to be brilliant. There’s a few rocks and earth starting to poke through the off-piste areas, but we’re pleased to say that the slopes are still even whiter than Simon Cowell’s teeth.

Tomorrow we can see varying weather conditions from sunshine and clouds to snow showers in the afternoon. The forecast is looking a little calmer with winds between 10 km/h and 25 km/h. The temperature will continue to be mild at around 0 degrees, but expect to feel a wind chill of around -4 degrees on the chairlifts and higher up. If you’re headed up the mountain then we’d recommend wearing a neckbuff and topping up on the suncream throughout the day to protect your face from the wind and sun.

It’s been yet another beautiful day in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig today – the sun has been shining all afternoon and the visibility has been fantastic. On days like today I love taking the Antennes and Pic Blanc chairlifts in Grandvalira Grau Roig as the views at the top are absolutely incredible, and from the blue Port run you can even see Soldeu resort in the distance.

For me, there’s something so humbling about being completely surrounded by mountains – on one hand it empowers you to ‘dream big’ and makes you feel like the possibility for adventure is endless, but at the same time the scale and magnificence of the mountains put life into perspective by making you realise how small you are, and how insignificant some of our worries or stresses may be. The mountains are a symbol of longevity, and there’s something so comforting in this. Whether you head up the mountain at 9am or 4pm, it’s never too late to enjoy the sense of peace and serenity that the mountains can bring on a clear, calm day like today.

Whilst the mountains are a permanent fixture of Grandvalira, unfortunately the nature of seasons means that winter cannot last forever - no matter how much we wish this weren’t the case. Although the season is quickly coming to a close, the slopes are retaining great snow coverage thanks to the heavy snowfall of recent weeks and the generally brilliant conditions that we’ve experienced throughout the season.

The black Mirador run in Grau Roig and red Directa run in Pas de la Casa are currently a little chopped up since they are popular through-routes, but the consistency of the snow is currently soft and a little slushy so you can slash right through the moguls and bumps that have formed on the piste throughout the day. Meanwhile, the top of the Cubil chairlift in Grandvalira Grau Roig and the Pic Blanc chairlift in Pas de la Casa was a little windblown and polished today due to the high 35 km/h winds, but the conditions of the piste improved dramatically just a few metres down once you are sheltered from the elements.

Although the sun was shining all afternoon the wind inflicted a bitter chill whilst sitting on the chairlifts and standing in the higher, more exposed parts of the mountain. My decision to wear two long sleeved layers underneath my jacket was definitely a good shout, and at times it was necessary to pull my neck buff up under my goggles to protect my face from the cold sting of the wind.

At the base of the slopes though the weather conditions were absolutely glorious as we were well sheltered from the prevailing winds, so we decided to relax and unwind by treating ourselves to a Nutella crepe and a mug of tea outside on the La Camarguesa terrace. The warmth of the sun on my skin felt wonderful, but I made sure to top up the suncream as it’s much easier to get burnt at altitude. Judging by the bright red faces of many people walking past, some people had clearly learnt this lesson the hard way!

The weather conditions in Grandvalira today have been temperamental today, varying from low grey clouds and high winds to sunshine, and blue skies. The temperature has felt relatively mild at around 1 degrees, however the 30 km/h wind meant that it felt pretty chilly at times, particularly in higher, more exposed parts of the mountain such as the top of Cubil chairlift in Grau Roig and the Pic Blanc chairlift in Pas de la Casa. Once off the chairlift and strapped in though it didn’t take long to warm up, and at the bottom of each run I semi-regretted wearing two long sleeved layers underneath my jacket.

Throughout the day the quality of the snow gradually became softer and slushier due to the mild temperature, and by afternoon the snow felt a little sticky in places, creating friction which slowed down my snowboard. Nonetheless, the slopes are maintaining fantastic coverage which is hardly surprising consider the amount of snowfall we’ve had in recent weeks and over the whole season.

There are still off-piste opportunities to be enjoyed despite the softer, slushy snow. If you’re feeling a little daring then you can drop off the face behind the AndBurger restaurant in Encamp and treat yourself to soft, soundless snow which in some places is completely untouched. This freeride will lead you onto the lower, flat section of the red Colibri run which leads to the Llac de Cubil lift – so there’s no need to worry as you’re never too far away from the piste!

My favourite run of the day though was the red Cami de Pessons run in Grandvalira Grau Roig. One of the reasons why I love this run so much is because even on days like today where the weather conditions are variable elsewhere, Cami de Pessons is well-sheltered from the elements, and despite being a red run, it’s relatively easy-going (but just a little narrow in places). Better yet, there’s the Pessons restaurant towards the end of the run which is a perfect place to stop to enjoy a drink or bite to eat – surrounded by beautiful mountains and a frozen lake it’s so easy to relax, but so hard to leave!

It’s forecast to be another relatively mild day tomorrow with lows around 2 degrees and highs of 3 degrees. This means we can expect another day of soft, slushy snow, and a little sunshine throughout the day too. If the forecast prevails then tomorrow could be a great day for soaking up the sunshine on the terrace, so if you’re in Grandvalira be sure to head to the Pessons restaurant, but don't forget your suncream!

Wow! What a glorious day in Grandvalira today! The sun has been shining all morning and the sky is virtually clear apart from a few wispy white clouds. It’s definitely been a day for topping up the sun cream, although it has felt a little chilly on the lifts occasionally due to the 25 kilometre per hour winds. The temperature was forecast to be around -10 degrees, but once you get riding it feels more like -3 degrees.

The coverage on the slopes is currently fantastic, and the snow today has felt soft but grippy – the perfect combination for carving neat, clean turns on the mountain. Although it’s been sunny all day, the slopes are nice and firm and aren’t showing signs of becoming too slushy. With another 25 centimetres of snow forecast for tomorrow it’s likely that the conditions of the slopes will continue to keep us smiling!

The visibility has been brilliant today thanks to the great weather conditions, and at the top of the blue Port and Pastora runs in Grandvalira Grau Roig you could easily see Soldeu resort in the distance. The incredible mountain views and prime snow conditions are two of the reasons why Grau Roig is my favourite place to ride in Grandvalira, but the slopes are also generally much quieter than other sectors as there is no residential area here. A run which is always particularly quiet is the red Montmallus piste as the drag lift to take you to the top is relatively secluded, not to mention – long! The secluded location of Montmallus also means that the snow conditions are generally pretty good here, and it’s also well sheltered from the wind.

My favourite run of the day was the red Pala Nova run which comes from Coll Blanc restaurant down to the bottom of Grandvalira Grau Roig. Sometimes this run can be a little moguly in places, but today the piste was groomed perfectly and was also relatively quiet. There’s a flat section on this run just by the Iglu Hotel and Coma Blanca chairlift, so it pays to keep your speed up as much as possible– especially if you’re a snowboarder.

The forecast for tomorrow is showing moderate to heavy snowfall throughout the day, winds of around 25 km/h and a minimum temperature of around -15 degrees. It goes without saying, but make sure you’re wearing an effective layering system and a decent neck buff to protect yourself from the wind chill. Orange lense goggles are preferable as they are best suited to the low light conditions which we can expect to experience tomorrow.

Today has been the powder day we have been waiting for! The snow has been falling hard and heavy over the last couple of days and the coverage on the slopes right now is incredible. The consistency of the snow is soft, fluffy and feels just like powder - essentially, it’s perfect.

There’s currently up to 230cm of snow to be enjoyed on the mountain, offering the prime conditions for some off piste riding. I would recommend the Bosc de Moreto run which runs parallel to the red Moreto run in Grandvalira Grau Roig as the snow here had been barely touched all day.

You don’t need to venture far from the pistes to the thick powder though - simply veer to the side of the slopes and you won’t be disappointed. In particular, the snow on the side of the blue Tubs run was almost knee deep in some places!

It’s hard to choose my favourite run today as the snow everywhere was absolutely brilliant, however the red cat-track Llac run which comes from the top of the Pas de la Casa chairlift was especially fun to ride due to fantastic snow conditions and lack of other people.

The weather today was characterised by white-grey clouds, snowfall and winds of 30-40 kilometres an hour. These conditions reduced the visibility on the mountain and a flat white light made it difficult to judge the terrain. However, the snow was so soft and plentiful that the low visibility didn’t matter too much providing you kept your knees soft to absorb any bumps or dips on the piste.

More snow showers are forecast for tomorrow, however we can also expect to see some sunshine too. Wrap up warm though because the temperature is forecast to be around -12 degrees, plus wind chill from 40km/h winds. Nonetheless, with the current snow coverage it’s bound to be another fun day in store!

The snow has arrived once again to Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig, and the mountains are looking fantastic covered in a fresh white coating of powder.

This morning started off with blue skies and a few whispy clouds but by afternoon the visibility was reduced by the snowfall and the low clouds that rolled into the mountains. A flat white light made it difficult to judge the terrain and at times this felt a little disorientating. In conditions like these I prefer to stick to the more gentle, cruisey pistes where the terrain and decline is less challenging. The red Camí de Pessons and blue Pastora runs in Grandvalira Grau Roig are good options, as is the blue Port and Tubs runs in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa.

In most places across Grandvalira the snow felt soft and fluffy, meaning that even the runs spoiled with moguls like the black Mirador run were easier to ride than usual. In flatter sections of Grandvalira the snow felt a little slow, sticky and grabby though, so now is definitely a good time to go and get your snowboard or skis waxed!

As the conditions were a little varied today we decided to spend some time relaxing and refuelling at the Pessons restaurant on the red Camí de Pessons run. Luckily, the sun and blue skies reappeared just in time to allow us to sit outside whilst enjoying a cup of hot caldo - a delicious chicken broth.

The conditions for tomorrow are looking a little irregular and varied, with a mixture of sunshine, dark clouds, snow, and storms. Wrap up warm as the temperature will be around -10 degrees, although the winds should remain low at around 3km/h.

They say time flies when you’re having fun and that’s certainly the case here in Grandvalira. There’s just 26 days left of the season and we can’t believe how quickly it’s going, and we definitely don’t want it to end!

The weather has changed throughout the day today from low grey clouds to intermittent blue skies and sunshine, however it’s not felt too cold today as the wind has remained relatively low at 5-10km/h. Just a tank top and a long sleeved thermal have been enough to keep me warm.

The mountains are maintaining good snow coverage, although the conditions are varied across Grandvalira. In some places the consistency of the snow is soft and a little slushy, but some patches out of the sunlight felt a little hard compact.

My favourite run of the day was the red Directa run which comes into Pas de la Casa resort. This is a great run for making turns on a steep descent and also for gaining some speed. The Directa can sometimes get a little congested at the top, but further down the piste is nice and wide, providing a good opportunity for practicing some carving.

Tomorrow is forecast to be a gorgeous sunny day with relatively mild temperatures around 0 degrees, but the wind is expected to be around 20km/h so it’s likely to feel a little colder. Make sure you keep topping up on the sun cream and wear category 2 or 3 lenses to protect your eyes from the UV light.

Spring has definitely sprung here in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa today! The sun has been shining all day and the skies have been a gorgeous blue, dotted with only a few wispy white clouds. The temperature has been around -1 which is milder than in recent days, and the wind has been relatively low at 10 kilometres per hour. At times, it felt so warm that I regretted wearing a fleece under my jacket this morning, however as conditions can change on the mountain very quickly it’s always best to be cautious and layer up just in case.

Thanks to the beautiful weather conditions the many restaurant and bar terraces across Grandvalira were filled with people soaking up the sunshine and enjoying some well-deserved food and drink. If you are looking for somewhere near to resort to rest in the sunshine I would definitely recommend the Olimpiades Snack Bar or Restaurant which are both located next to each other on the left hand side of the slopes as you ski into resort (just next to the blue Tubs runs). Olimpiades has great views of the slopes and is an optimal location for a little sun-baking on days like today. The food in Olimpiades Snack Bar and Restaurant is delicious, and between 4pm and 6pm you can take enjoy their Happy Hour deals and live music.

Due to the milder temperature and consistent sunshine the snow was soft and slushy today, which is typical of the Spring conditions that we often experience in March and towards the end of the season. Personally, as a snowboarder I quite enjoy these conditions as the soft snow is nice and easy to ride, however by afternoon the slushy consistency of the snow did feel like it was slowing me down a little. In any case, it has to be said that the slopes have a good base of snow and are retaining good snow coverage really well across all of Grandvalira.

My favourite run of the day was the red Grandalles run which comes down from the top of Grandvalira Pas de la Casa to the bottom of the Antennes chairlift in Grau Roig. This run is a little quieter than the red Pista Llarga run which comes down into Grau Roig which means it’s usually less spoiled by moguls. There’s a slightly flatter section to this run but most people glide over this effortlessly, having picked up speed at the steeper section at the top of the run. As with most runs in Grandvalira Grau Roig, the surrounding mountain views are absolutely stunning, particularly to your right where you can see the mountains stretch on into the distance.

The forecast for tomorrow is looking similar to today – sunshine, blue skies and mild temperatures (around 0 degrees!) - although be aware that the 35km/h winds are likely to bring a chill to the mountains. Category 2 or 3 lensed goggles are advisable as they are best suited for bright light conditions. Don’t forget to wear sun cream either as up in the mountains you are more exposed to the high UV rays from the sun (even on cloudier days), so it’s very easy to get sunburnt and/or an embarrassing goggle tan!

Today has been a reminder just how quickly conditions can change on the mountain. This morning started off as another glorious day with blue skies and sunshine, but by afternoon dark grey clouds formed around the mountain peaks and the wind picked up, sending a chill through our bones. By late afternoon blue skies begun to reappear but the temperature remained cold around -6 degrees, and snowflakes started to fall intermittently for the rest of the afternoon.

As the weather conditions varied throughout the day the visibility also changed to a flat white light which made it difficult to judge the terrain. In these conditions you have to trust more in your legs and allow them to absorb the impact of any bumps or changes in the terrain, so although flat light can be challenging conditions to ride in, if you stick with it, it will help to improve your ability.

Despite frequent snowfall over the last week the coverage on the slopes is currently varied due to the high winds we’ve been experiencing. The higher, more exposed parts of slopes within Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig (such as at the top of Pic Negre and Cubil chairlifts) are therefore a little hard compact, but mostly the pistes remain coated with a decent layer of soft snow, and the upper snow level is around 210 centimetres.

The best snow conditions of the day were found on the red Cami de Pessons run in Grandvalira Grau Roig which is well sheltered by the trees and surrounding mountains. The snow on the red Directa run back into Pas de la Casa was also good, in part because wind had blown more snow over the ridge and onto the piste.

Tomorrow is looking like it could be another chilly day with temperatures around -10 degrees and winds of 30kmh, so wrap up warm and wear a neckbuff to protect your face from the harsh conditions.

After two days of snowfall, grey clouds and low visibility the blue skies and sunshine have returned to Grandvalira!

But today hasn’t quite been the spring conditions that are typical of March... Although this morning started off feeling pretty mild, by mid-late afternoon the sky became a little cloudier and the wind picked up to around 30-40kmh, meaning that the temperature dropped and felt colder than the -6 degrees that had been forecasted. Wearing a neckbuff was essential today in order to stop my face stinging from the wind whilst on the chairlifts, and I also made sure to top up on the suncream to avoid getting burnt.

The snow coverage on the slopes is currently looking good thanks to the recent snowfall, and the consistency of the snow is generally pretty soft and fluffy. However in the higher, more exposed places the slopes are a little wind blown and hard compact, so take care when at the top of the Antennes, Llac de Cubil and Font Negre chairlifts.

Some of the best snow could be found on the red Montmallus run in Grandvalira Grau Roig as it’s well-sheltered by trees and the surrounding mountains. You have to take a relatively long, steep drag lift which bends around the corner in order to get to the top of this run; however the conditions and views on Montmallus are well worth holding on for. If you have little ones, you can ride through the Grau Roig Imaginarium when you get to the bottom of Montmallus.

The forecast for tomorrow is showing a mixed bag of sunshine, snow and storms, with temperatures around -6 degrees, although it will feel a little colder due to the 31kmh winds. Tomorrow will definitely be a day for layering up and taking regular breaks to warm up!

It’s been a bitterly cold day in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig today, with temperatures around -14 degrees. The sun has been shining all day but we’ve not felt the benefit of its warmth due to the extreme cold and wind chill. Today was definitely a day for wearing a neck buff as exposure to the cold air and wind instantly stings your skin. But don’t let the cold fool you - it’s still important to wear sunscreen as in these bright conditions it’s far too easy to catch the sun and end up with rosy red cheeks.

The harsh conditions has meant that the snow in some of the higher, more exposed parts of Grandvalira is becoming a little hard compact and wind blown. In particular, take care when getting off the Llac de Cubil chairlift as the terrain here is very polished and it’s easy to lose grip.

Having said that, the snow coverage on the more sheltered pistes of the Grandvalira Grau Roig bowl are still maintaining good snow coverage. As usual, the red Camí de Pessons run has retained good snow coverage due to it’s sheltered lower location, so if you’re coming from Soldeu or Encamp and looking for a cruisey route to Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa then this is the way to go.

My favourite run of the day was the blue Port run which comes down from the Antennes lift into Pas de la Casa. If I’m heading back to Pas de la Casa late in the afternoon I tend to choose this route as it’s much quieter than the popular red Directa run which comes down from the Coll Blanc restaurant. Port is nice and cruisey as the piste curves it’s way down the mountain at a relatively gentle descent, and is a relaxing way to end the day.

Tomorrow we can expect to see the slopes covered in fresh powder as moderate snowfall is expected throughout the day. The temperature is forecasted to be around -7 degrees but high winds of 50km/h means it will feel more like -11 degrees so wrap up warm!

The weather conditions in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa have been absolutely fantastic today! The sun has been shining all day long and the sky has been a brilliant bright blue - dotted with only a few whispy clouds. Having come off the mountain and looked in the mirror I regretted not topping up the suncream more regularly throughout the day, and walking around resort it seems as though I’m not the only one with rosy cheeks and a red nose!

The temperature was forecasted to be around -13 degrees but it’s felt much warmer thanks to the sunshine and low winds around 5kmh an hour. A tank top and long-sleeved thermal top was enough to keep me warm, although the bitter cold could be felt whilst on the chairlifts.

The heavy snowfall of recent days means that there’s brilliant coverage both on and off piste. The consistency of the snow is soft and powdery, and even on the piste you can enjoy the sensation of gliding soundlessly down the mountain.

My favourite run was the black Mirador run that comes down from the Cubil lift. The snow coverage on the piste was great which provided the confidence to tackle a slightly steeper run, and luckily the piste wasn’t too spoilt with moguls.

Most of my day today was spent exploring some of the many off piste opportunities that Grandvalira has to offer. The powder levels are so deep right now so it’s been an absolute dream to ride.

One of my favourites off piste runs was the “Fields of Joy” which can be accessed off the top of the blue Port run by the Antennes chairlift. The snow here had been hardly touched meaning that we could make our mark by drawing our own lines in the thick fresh snow. The first section of this run is wide and open meaning you can get lots of turns in, while the bottom section involves weaving in and out of trees. The run ends up a 5-10 minute walk from the Grau Roig car park, but the adrenaline you get from this off piste riding is worth every step back to the bottom of the Antennes chairlift.

The forecast for tomorrow is looking very similar to today - clear blue skies, sunshine, low winds of 7kmh and temperatures of -8. Don’t forget your suncream and get your powder legs on because it’s going to be a good one!

The snow has been falling all afternoon in Pas de la Casa and is forecast to continue tomorrow too. Although fresh, the snow felt a little wet as it landed on the pistes due to the milder temperatures we’ve experienced today and over the last few days; but this means that the slopes are currently nice and soft, and maintaining good snow coverage. Despite the snow, it didn’t actually feel too cold on the mountain, and the lack of wind

The visibility on the mountain has varied as the conditions changed throughout the day. In the morning the sky was relatively clear meaning that we could see clearly, however by afternoon low clouds began to engulf Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig and the light became flat, hindering our visibility. As always, orange or yellow lensed goggles are the best choice for low light conditions like we had today.

As Group Lessons start on a Monday the slopes were busy with people starting their first day of ski school today, however there was still virtually no wait time for the chairlifts. On Monday and Saturday mornings from around 9:15am and afternoons from 1:30pm the queue for the gondola up to Ski School can stretch quite a way though, particularly in Half-Term week or public holidays. If you want to avoid waiting then simply walk up Avinguda D’Encamp road past Rentaski hire shop, and through the car park to the Ski School. This should only take around 5-10 minutes at the most, and as it’s slightly uphill it’s a great way to warm up on a cold winter morning! If you’re coming to Pas de la Casa soon and want to know how to check in for ski school then you can watch our video here:

During weekends and busy periods such as the school holidays, the red Directa run that leads down into Pas de la Casa is often busy as it’s the most popular, direct run back into resort. As the visibility was low and Directa was looking pretty populated I decided to take the red Llac run which veers off to the right at the top of the slope. Llac was one of my favourite runs of the day because it was nice and quiet, and the snow was less disturbed than the top of Directa which is often moulded by skiiers into a natural mogul field.

More snowfall is expected tomorrow and temperatures will be around -6 degrees. By mid-week we can expect to see sunshine and clear blue skies return to Grandvalira, however the temperature is forecast to drop to around -14 degrees so if you’re coming to visit soon then make sure you pack plenty of thermals!

This morning started off relatively clear and sunny but by mid-late afternoon thick low clouds had surrounded the mountain, reducing the visibility to around 10 metres. The bright sunshine behind the clouds casted a flat white light on the slopes, however the visibility did improve at intervals when the clouds begun to clear a little.

Although the visibility was low, the slopes are still maintaining good snow coverage so there was no need to worry about any hard compact areas.

The stark white colour that surrounded ya made the landscape look extra wintery today, however the temperature was actually nice and mild around 2 degrees, meaning that just two thin thermals were enough to keep me warm. There was very little wind today (10kmh) so there wasn’t even much of a chill on the chairlift.

Due to the mild temperature the snow this afternoon was soft and a little slushy in places which can be slow going at times but is also great for those wanting to build confidence learning new skills.

Although it’s the Half Term school holidays the slopes and lifts weren’t as busy as expected. As usual, Grandvalira Grau Roig was quieter than Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and as there isn’t really a residential here (except the Igloo Hotel and Grau Roig Hotel), and the slopes of this sector can only be accessed via driving or by chairlifts.

The temperature is set to drop tomorrow to around -7 degrees and moderate snowfall has been forecasted so if you’re headed up the mountain make sure you wrap up warm! Low light goggles (orange or yellow lenses) are also recommended to help provide clarity in low visibility conditions.

It’s day two of the UK half term school holidays and so far the weather conditions in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa have been good to us! This morning we were blessed with blue skies and sunshine, and thanks to the heavy snowfall last week the snow conditions on the mountain are absolutely brilliant. There’s great coverage on the pistes, and there’s still even some opportunity for off piste riding such as to the left of the red Moreto run and red Diagonal run towards the Antennes lift in Grandvalira Grau Roig.

As it’s half term the pistes have been busier than usual, so we headed to Grandvalira Grau Roig where the pistes are generally much quieter as there is no residential area in this sector. My favourite run in this sector today was the red Montmallus run. You have to brave a drag lift up to the top of the run but it’s so worth it. Surrounded by snow covered trees you really feel like you’re in a winter wonderland. At the bottom of Montmallus is the Grau Roig Imaginarium circuit which is a perfect little route for those with young kids. Decorated with obstacles and friendly characters the circuit is great for helping children to improve their technique and build confidence on the slopes.

The temperatures have been as low as -12 degrees, but the wind has been relatively low 10 kilometres per hour so it’s not felt too cold. Just a couple of decent thermals under my jacket has been enough to keep me warm, and after a few runs I was baking like a potato.

The visibility has varied throughout the day, alternating from clear visibility when the sun was shining, to a flat white light when grey clouds filled the sky. Days when the visibility is varied category 2 or 3 goggles are best as they best suited for all round conditions.

By afternoon, the sun had disappeared, the sky clouded over and the snow begun to fall -and is still falling heavily now. Tomorrow there will be occasional light snow fall, temperatures of -7 and winds of 28kmh so layer up and break regularly to keep warm!

It’s been another bitterly cold day here in Pas de la Casa – the temperature has been around -10 degrees, however thanks to the 10 kmh north-westerly winds it’s felt more like -15 degrees at times – particularly whilst sat on the chairlifts. The sun has been shining for the majority of the day, but I was definitely glad I had decided to wear three long sleeved thermals under my jacket this morning. Cautious of the sunshine and wind, today was also a day for whacking on the suncream and pulling my neck buff up around my mouth to keep my lips from going numb.

Although it’s been cold, we’ve still had a fantastic time on the mountain thanks to the brilliant snow conditions on the slopes. Last week’s heavy snowfall which lasted for several days until Tuesday has provided excellent coverage on the pistes and the snow is still soft and fluffy in most places, making for a nice cruisy ride down the mountain.  

With the sun shining bright in the sky this morning we were able to enjoy the beautiful 360 mountain views of Grandvalira. By around 3pm though the skies had become grey and the temperature seemed to drop by a few more degrees, which made it seem like more snow could start falling from the sky any moment.

The change in weather soon affected the visibility on the mountain as the combination of the sunshine and white-grey clouds created a flat-white light which makes it difficult to judge the terrain of the slope. Although riding in flat-white light can sometimes be challenging, it can also be good fun and beneficial to your technique as it forces you to be less concerned with the few metres of piste in front of you, and instead concentrate on how the mountain feels underneath your board or skis.

My favourite run of the day was the blue Tubs run which veers off from the red Directa run coming from Coll Blanc towards the resort. Joined by Yann, one of Pas de la Casa’s finest snowboard instructors, I took advantage of the great snow conditions by practicing some carving on this nice, wide cruisy blue that runs under the TSD4 Pas de la Casa four man chairlift. If you’re wanting to get your ‘ski legs’ back after some time away from the slopes then Tubs is definitely recommended! It’s also one of the runs which is illuminated for night skiing on Thursday nights until 8pm – so you’ve got even more time to get your snow fix!

Tomorrow we will see the resort get much busier as people begin to arrive in Pas de la Casa for the UK Half-Term School holidays. If you are arriving on Monday and still need to hire your equipment please note that today is the last day for taking advantage of our 30% online pre-booking discount for equipment rentals:

You can collect your equipment from Rentaski or Lake Esqui in Pas de la Casa after 3pm the day before you go skiing. You can also collect your lift pass, lunch vouchers and lesson tickets from the Grandvalira Lift Pass & Ski School office before 4pm the day before.

Rentaski, Lake Esqui and the Lift Pass & Ski School office are all located just a short walk from the slopes. See the map here: www.pasdelacasa.com/map-pas

If you are one of the many people lucky enough to be coming to Pas de la Casa this weekend or next week make sure you pack plenty of warm thermal layers, thick socks, a decent neckbuff and insulated waterproof gloves as the temperature is due to remain around -10 to -14 degrees, and more snowfall is on the way!

For the last five days the snow has been falling thick and heavy in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa. The resort has been painted a beautiful stark white, and the snow coverage on the slopes is absolutely fantastic. The maximum depth of snow on the mountain is around 155cm but you don’t even need to venture off the pistes to experience the sensation of riding powder.

The visibility today has been very low due to low cloud, high winds and snowfall. It’s been a challenge to navigate on the mountain, and the flat white light and clouds can sometimes be disorientating, but having orange lenses goggles helped to provide some visual clarity on the slopes. On days like today when visibility is impaired its best to make sure you pay attention to the piste markers so that you don’t lose your bearings.

The temperature has been around -10 degrees, but it felt much colder thanks to the wind. Three layers under my jacket and a fleece neck buff kept me warm enough throughout the day, but by the end of the day my hair was frozen into ratty dreadlocks, and just a few moments without gloves on was enough to make my hands feel numb.

Over the next few days the conditions are due to change dramatically - instead of snow and clouds we will be graced with sunshine and clear skies; however the temperature will remain very cold at around -13 degrees so wrap up warm and enjoy the amazing snow conditions!

The conditions in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa today have been absolutely fantastic - clear blue skies, sunshine, low wind and brilliant snow coverage!
The temperature has been around -1 degrees but just a tank top under my jacket has been enough to keep me warm.

With the sun shining so bright we’ve kept our goggles on all day to protect our eyes, so we’ve also been lathering up on the suncream throughout the day to make sure we don’t end up with awkward goggle tan lines.

Thanks to the heavy snowfall a few days ago the slopes are still an absolute dream to ride. The terrain is a little choppy in places such as the top of the red Directa and Pista Llarga runs due to all the moguls which have been formed over the last few days by skiers following lines. For a snowboarder riding moguls can be a little challenging, but if you’re confident making turns and you can stay in control then it’s also a lot of fun.

My favourite run of the day was the red Moreto run which comes down from the Cubil lift into Grau. Although it’s a steep run, the piste is relatively wide which means there’s plenty of room for getting in lots of turns, but if you want to you can also straight line and get some good speed up - perfect for the adrenaline junkies!

The forecast tomorrow is looking very similar today so if you’re headed up the mountain it’s bound to be another good one! With the sun shining all day it’s the perfect chance to soak up the rays on the terrace of Coll Blanc during happy hour 3-5pm. Just don’t forget the suncream!

The snow has arrived in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and we couldn’t be happier!

It’s been a cold day on the mountain, with temperatures around -10 degrees and the wind at 37 kilometres per hour. Three long sleeved layers were just about enough to keep me warm, meanwhile I covered my face with a good, thick neck buff to protect myself from the bitter cold wind that can often leave your face feeling cracked and rosy cheeked at the end of the day.

The visibility on the mountain has been very low today due to the snowfall, wind and flat white light, so at times it was quite a challenging ride which required much more concentration than usual. The awesome snow conditions made up for the poor visibility though as it was so much fun riding through the thick fresh powder that covered the slopes from top to bottom.

As the visibility was low we decided it was safer to stick to the piste where we knew there wouldn’t be any unexpected obstacles in our way; however at times we decided to treat ourselves by veering off to the side of the pistes where the snow was even softer and thicker.  

My favourite run of the day was the black Mirador run that comes down from the Llac de Cubil lift back into Grau Roig. Although a black run, it’s not actually too steep (it actually feels more like a red run), and it’s a great slope to ride on days like today when there’s plenty of thick fresh powder to break your fall.

Tomorrow is forecast to be another cold day with temperatures of -8 degrees, northerly winds of 36km and more snowfall on its way so if you’re headed up the mountain make sure you wrap up warm with plenty of layers and use some low-light (or orange lensed) goggles if you have them!

The forecast for today predicted temperatures of -3 degrees and winds of 25kmh however it’s felt relatively mild in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa today - and actually, just a tank top under my snowboarding jacket has been enough to keep me warm.

The sun has been shining throughout the day and there’s been very little cloud so we’ve been making sure to splash on the sunscreen regularly to avoid catching a goggle tan.

The snow conditions on the slopes are currently varied with some hard compact patches in some places - particularly in higher, more exposed spots like at the top of the Pic Blanc chairlift which is more exposed and wind affected.

By afternoon the snow became soft and a little slushy in Grau Roig, although the red Pista Llarga and Directa runs were nice and grippy.

My favourite run of the day was the blue Pastora run that leads into Grau Roig from the top of the Antennes lift. Pastora was nice and quiet - we only saw a handful of people despite it being a long winding run and the snow conditions were pretty good too.

On the final run home we passed Coll Blanc which was packed with people enjoying the sunshine and the beats coming from the sound system. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon that’s for sure!

We’ve been completely spoilt with the weather conditions in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grandvalira Grau Roig this week and today has been no exception with clear blue skies, warm sunshine and virtually no wind on the mountain.

The slopes are maintaining good snow coverage and have become softer in the afternoon thanks to the beautiful sunshine we’ve been graced with all day long.

Today I was riding with a friend who was new to snowboarding so we decided to stick to the cruisey blue runs that Grandvalira Pas de la Casa has to offer. Tubs in particular is a great run to warm up on as its a short run which isn’t too steep, and the piste is nice and wide offering the perfect opportunity to build up confidence linking turns. After a few warm up laps we headed for Port and Pastora which are both nice and gentle long runs with plenty of bends and beautiful mountain views.

Later on we headed to Refugi del Llac de Pessons restaurant via the Camí de Pessons run which - marked as a red - is actually relatively gentle and easy going. We decided to take advantage of the brilliant weather conditions and stopped for a well-earned drink and a little sunbathing on the terrace.

Refugi del Llac de Pessons restaurant is a little pricier than other restaurants on the mountain but the quality of food is worth every penny. If you fancy treating yourself then be sure to check out the Amelie experience, where from midday to 4pm you can sample oysters and French champagne, alongside other premium products such as foie gras on toast, salmon, and strawberries with chocolate...delicious!

Today has been another absolutely gorgeous day here in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grandvalira Grau Roig. We’ve enjoyed clear blue skies and sunshine, and although the forecast predicted temperatures of -3 degrees it’s definitely felt much warmer.

With two thermals on underneath my jacket it wasn’t long till I was working up a bit of the sweat riding in the sunshine, but I was certainly grateful for the extra layers when at the top of the Llac de Cubil and Pic Blanc chairlifts due to the 25kmh winds.

On windy days like today its best to avoid the higher, more exposed pistes and head to the slopes which are more sheltered from the wind by surrounding mountains such as the red Camí de Pessons run in Grandvalira Grau Roig. 

The slopes have retained great snow coverage since the heavy snowfall last week and by the afternoon the snow had become soft and a little slushy thanks to the sunshine beating down on the pistes.

My favourite ride of the day was on the red Directa run which comes down into the resort. Directa is often one of the busier, more popular runs with skiers and snowboarders all weaving in and out of each other; however today the piste was virtually deserted providing the perfect opportunity to practice perfecting my turns on a steeper slope, and to enjoy the adrenaline of gaining some good speed.

Inspired by the beautiful sunny weather, we ended the afternoon with a well deserved beer and burger on the terrace of Pas83 which looks out onto the slopes. With upbeat music playing through the speakers, there was a great atmosphere in the air making it a great way to unwind after a good few hours of snowboarding.

It’s been a cold day on the mountain today with temperatures of -8 degrees and winds at 20kmh, so we headed to Grau Roig where it’s generally more sheltered from the elements thanks to the surrounding mountains.

The skies remained grey throughout most of the day, casting a flat white light across the mountain; however by late afternoon the clouds cleared a little and it was possible to see shades of blue colouring the sky.

The slopes are retaining great snow coverage after the heavy snowfall at the start of the week, and in the afternoon we were graced with a little light snowfall. Due to the cold temperatures the snow cannons were blasting more snow on the pistes, enhancing the nice cruisey ride.

My favourite run of the day was the red Directa run heading back to Pas de la Casa. The sun had begun to set behind the mountains casting a beautiful warm glow over the slopes, and the low clouds had started rolling in, making for some really atmospheric scenery. The snow coverage on Directa was light and fluffy, and the piste was relatively quiet meaning that I could get lots of turns in on at the top of the slopes which is relatively steep.

The weather is forecasted to remain cold over the weekend with more snow expected on Sunday. If you’re headed up the mountain then wrap up warm and wear plenty of layers!

What another incredible day in Grandvalira Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa today! The sun has been shining all through the day and the conditions have been very good to us.

Thanks to the heavy snow fall on Sunday the coverage on the pistes have been absolutely amazing throughout. Like yesterday though we spent very little time on marked runs as there was so much thick deep powder to be explored off piste. Again, one of the best places for off piste riding was through the “rabbit fields” which runs parallel to the Red Moreto run. Here you can ride in and out of snow covered trees and there’s virtually no one else to be seen meaning we had the complete freedom to make our own tracks in the snow. Yes, that’s right - even two days after the fresh snow there was still plenty of untouched snow to ride through.

Another great opportunity for off piste riding could be found to the right of the Directa run as you ride down into the town. The snow here was so thick and great for those less familiar with riding in powder as there’s no trees to dodge, and if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed then you can always head back onto the piste.

Despite the sunshine it felt pretty chilly on the mountain due to the wind which was particularly strong in higher places such as the top of the Cubil and Pic Blanc lifts, however a few layers and a decent neck buff was enough to combat the cold temperature.

Temperatures are forecasted to drop and moderate snowfall is forecasted tomorrow which and we can’t wait to get back up the mountain! Wrap up warm and enjoy the snow!

This afternoon we hit the slopes in Grandvalira Grau Roig and we have not stopped smiling since! With lot’s of fresh snow having arrived over the last couple of days, the snow conditions on the mountain today have been absolutely incredible.

The snow coverage on the pistes was brilliant all round, however we spent most of our time riding the thick, deep, beautiful fresh white powder off-piste. In particular, the so-called “rabbit fields” just to the left of the top of the Cubil lift and red Moreto run provided an awesome opportunity to practice our off-piste riding and we had so much fun weaving in and out of the snow-covered trees.If you're riding off-piste though be sure to go with a friend or a group of people as there's safety in numbers, and besides - riding with a group of people and having someone to laugh with when you fall over is always so much more enjoyable!

On powder days, steep slopes are your friend meaning that you can push yourself to be a little more daring and you don’t need to worry about hurting yourself if you bail. Of course, riding off piste can be challenging at times but gliding fast and soundlessly over soft, white fluffy snow really is one of the most exhilarating feelings you will ever experience as a snowboarder or skiier. It’s liberating, fun and addictive, and the adrenaline you feel afterwards is like no other feeling you’ll likely experience from day-to-day sports or a workout at the gym.

The weather conditions remained relatively calm and stable throughout the day, although in the late afternoon the wind had picked up a little, numbing our faces. Although the visibility this morning was marred a little by flat white light, by afternoon the blinding white clouds had cleared and the blue skies provided a better light to navigate the mountain. The temperature is set to remain cold over the next few days (around -5 to -9 degrees) and more snowfall is expected towards the end of this week, so if you’re headed up the mountain then be sure to wrap up warm and layer up!

With the conditions so brilliant right now we’ll most definitely be heading up the mountain again tomorrow afternoon, so watch this space for an updated snow report on the conditions and the best places to go!

This afternoon we were graced with beautiful weather conditions in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig - blue skies, mild temperatures and very little wind. Surrounded by snowy mountains it’s easy to forget that you can still get burnt, so it’s always wise to lather on the suncream throughout the day to prevent the awkward reverse-panda goggle tan often modelled by people returning home after their skiing holiday.

Although it has been relatively mild throughout recent days, temperatures have continued to drop to below freezing overnight meaning that the snow has become harder compact in many areas, particularly first thing in the morning. The snow conditions on the mountain are therefore currently varied, so it pays to be cautious and take care when riding the steeper red runs.

By afternoon the snow on the majority of runs in Grandvalira Grau-Roig had been softened by the non-stop sunshine, making for a much smoother and controlled ride. Certainly, on days like today it’s a good idea to follow the sunshine and stick to the pistes which have been softened up by the sun throughout the day.

The red Moreto run coming down for TSD4 Cubil was brilliant fun to ride due to the sea of soft moguls that have been formed, turning the piste into a mini mountain playground; meanwhile great snow coverage can also be found on the red Cami de Pessons run which is well-sheltered from the wind which, in higher more exposed part, can sometimes blow away the snow from the pistes.

Another bonus of the good weather conditions today was the lack of layers required underneath my jacket – simply just a single vest base layer and fleece was enough to keep me warm, and in the sunshine even this minimal amount of clothing felt too much at times!

Tonight marks the start of the traditional Spanish Three Kings festival, so if you’re in Pas de la Casa this evening then you can expect to see a Torchlit descent down the red Directa run into the town, fireworks, hot chocolate, music and other surprises to celebrate the festival. For those of you who will be attending, we hope you have a brilliant night!

Is been a cold, wet, and snowy afternoon today in Grandvalira Pas de la Casa due to the light rain and snowfall that has been falling on and off throughout the day.

Navigating the mountain this afternoon was particularly difficult thanks to the flat white light and low clouds surrounding the mountains, and the visibility worsened as water droplets formed on my goggles. By late afternoon though the sun started to break through the clouds and the rain and snow eased off, making the final runs of the day much more easy going.

The red Directa run that leads down to Pas de la Casa town was busy with lots of people weaving their way down the piste, so I made my way to Grau Roig which is known for being much quieter. The red Montmalus run was virtually deserted, and I had a great time riding the thicker snow to the side of the pistes.

The snow on the slopes was softer from the milder temperature and rain that had fallen earlier on, but the overall coverage was still good on the majority of runs. With temperatures dropping to -7 degrees tomorrow more snowfall is expected, and we cant wait for another powder day. High winds are forecasted though so we advise that you wrap up warm, wear a neck buff and stick to the more sheltered runs in Grandvalira Grau Roig!

For the last two days the snow has been dumping down hard on Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa and both the mountain and the resort has been covered in a thick, fluffy layer of white powder. With so much fresh snow waiting for me I couldn’t wait to hit the slopes this afternoon, so with a smile on my face I took the TSD4 Pas de la Casa chair lift up to the top of the mountain.

As it’s the Christmas holidays it was unsurprising to see the red Directa run much busier than in recent weeks with a mixture of families, groups and individuals weaving their way down to the foot of the slopes. However heading down the Pista Tobogan run towards Grau Roig the slopes were so quiet meaning that I was able to relax and enjoy having the fresh snow all to myself.

With heavy grey clouds, gusty winds, and low visibility the weather was initially a stark contrast against the sunshine, low winds and temperatures of -2 degrees that had been originally forecasted. By late afternoon though the skies began to clear, the wind died down and the sunshine even came out just in time for a beautiful sunset behind the mountains around 4:45pm.

Although I didn’t head up the mountain the afternoon, there was still plenty of soft fresh snow covering the pistes and my board hardly made a sound as I rode down the blue Portella run towards the Montamulus button-lift.

As a snowboarder it can take a fair bit of concentration and core strength to survive the ride on a button lift, but the red Montamulus run that comes down from the button lift was so worth it and actually turned out to be my favourite run of the day. Surrounded by trees, the run is well sheltered and there was plenty of thick, deep fresh powder to be found just to the side of the piste and through the treeline.

Tomorrow is expected to be a cloudy day in Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa with winds up to 27kmh, so if you’re headed up the mountain then make sure you layer up. With more snow forecasted over the next 48-72 hours it’s likely we will continue to be treated with more awesome powder days so stay tuned for an updated snow report!

Merry Christmas from Pas de la Casa! We ate so much food yesterday that we were grateful to have an excuse to get up the mountain and burn some energy whilst checking out the conditions.

This morning started off with promising blue skies but by afternoon clouds had engulfed the peaks of the mountains in Grandvalira-Pas de la Casa and Grandvalira-Grau Roig and the sky had turned grey. The absence of sunshine meant that the temperature felt a little cooler, although I was still warm enough in wearing just a long sleeve thermal top and fleece underneath my jacket.

The slopes are maintaining good snow coverage in most places although some areas are still a little hard compact but the snowfall forecasted over the next few days is likely to help soften these patches and provide some more off piste opportunities.

The best snow can currently be found in Grau Roig, and the red Cami de Pessons run made for a good ride as it’s well sheltered and the snow here was nice and soft.

There was noticeably more people on the slopes due to the Christmas holidays, and it was great to see lots of families enjoying quality time together on the mountain. Although busier the slopes didn’t feel crowded and I was able to hop right onto every lift straight away. Perfect!

All in all it’s been a great way to spend Boxing Day today, and I’m sure those on the slopes today would agree too.

It’s been a slightly overcast day in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig today but the views of the mountains have been as stunning as usual as clouds gathered around the peaks of the surrounding mountains and the sunlight tried to break through.

These conditions meant there was a flat white light which made it a little difficult to see the terrain ahead of me, but luckily the pistes are still maintaining good snow ‭coverage so i didn’t come across any hard or compact patches that caught me off guard.

There was little wind compared to the last couple of days, and as I stood at the top of the red Moreto run it felt particularly sheltered as the surrounding mountains formed a protective barrier from the elements.

With Christmas only a few days away now there are more people starting to hit the slopes, but I was pleased to find that there’s still no wait time for the lifts and that the pistes still seem relatively quiet. This provided the perfect opportunity to challenge myself on the black Mirador run that comes down from the top of the Llac del Cubil lift, knowing that if I were to fall it would be a relatively soft landing.

My favourite run of the day was the final run back to Pas de la Casa via the red Gavatxa run which comes down from the Antennes chair lift. Up here the views were amazing and there was such a stark contrast between the white mountains and the black road in the distance which winds its way down to the town. The thing I love most about being so high up in the mountains is that it allows you to gain some perspective, and in a strange sort of way it’s very humbling and brings you down to Earth.

It’s less than a week until Christmas, but today it felt like Christmas had come early - blue skies, sunshine, and a lot of fresh powder! This was definitely a stark contrast to the conditions yesterday which were characterised by dark grey clouds, heavy snowfall and low visibility.

With the conditions looking so inviting I grabbed my board and decided to head out to Grau Roig which is known for its stunning views and great snow.

Despite the blue skies, there was still a strong, bitterly cold wind that could be felt most on the higher, more exposed parts of the mountain, particularly at the top of the Pla de les Pedres chair lift. Here, the ground looked like a rolling white ocean as the wind blew ripples of snow across the slope. Seeking protection from the wind I decided to make my way towards the Cubil lift via tthe Enradort and Cami Pessons runs would be a little more sheltered by the surrounding mountains. 

Thanks to the heavy snow fall yesterday and last night the slopes had great snow coverage and there were plenty of off-piste opportunities to be had in both Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa. After veering off piste from the red Diagnol run that comes down from the Antennes chair lift I soon found myself riding in knee deep powder which was awesome but challenging! 

For those who are newcomers to off piste riding then I would recommend checking out the snow just off of Directa I beneath the Pic Blanc chair lift in Pas de la Casa. Here it’s not quite so steep, and although soft and plentiful the snow is not so deep that you’ll get stuck if you stop. 

By 3:30pm the sun had begun to sink down behind the mountain, casting a shadow over the slopes in Pas de la Casa. However this was not the end of the day for the many people up at the top of the mountain who were enjoying beers and dancing to the music on Coll Blanc’s terrace. The atmosphere up here was great, but tired, hungry and a little cold it was time for me to head back down to town to refuel and warm up.

It’s been a cold day in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig today with temperatures dropping to -9 degrees. The wind made its presence felt in the higher, less sheltered parts of the mountain such the top of the Cubil and Pic Negre chair lifts, however we soon warmed up as we began weaving down the tree lined Camí de Pessons and Tortuga runs, and the sunshine provided a little extra warmth too.

The slopes are still quiet and peaceful at the moment, particularly in the Grau Roig sector, although with Christmas fast approaching the mountain will soon become busier.

There’s good snow coverage on the slopes and the snow cannons are helping to keep the pistes nice and soft. There are some small sections of the runs that can be a little hard compact but on the whole the majority of the runs still make for a great ride!

Temperatures are expected to drop another few degrees to -12 tomorrow so if you’re coming to visit over the weekend then make sure you pack lots of layers and wrap up warm!

As I sat on the chair lift making its way up towards Coll Blanc this afternoon it felt like I was up on my way up to heaven. I was completely surrounded by atmospheric milky white clouds and the sun was trying its best to break through at the top of the mountain. As I made my way towards the light I was excited wondering what today’s ride would bring - especially after the snowfall that we had here in Pas de la Casa yesterday.

Even better than being greeted by the pearly white gates of heaven I was instead greeted by the spectacular view of the mountains covered with fluffy white snow, and the run which lay out in front of me was completely empty. Perfect!

In fact, the entire sector of Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig was pretty quiet this afternoon and I was more than happy to take advantage of yesterday’s snow and having the slopes all to myself.

The visibility on this side of the mountain was much clearer with nice blue skies, a little sunshine and very little wind. The sunlight cast shadows on the pistes making the mountain look like crumpled white paper, with each crease marking another run to explore.

It doesn’t matter to me what the weather conditions are like up in Pas de la Casa - the views always manage to take my breath away.

Perhaps my favourite run of the day was the red Diagonal run - the snow here was so soft and thick so the ride through this was a lot of fun!

After making friends with a Ukrainian skier at the top of the Antenes lift I decided to finish up my afternoon and head back to Pas de la Casa for some Apres via the blue Pista Port run, feeling fulfilled and pleased with the conditions.

It’s been another great day here in Pas de la Casa and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for us.

More slopes and lifts have been opened in the Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig sectors over the last few days and it’s been great to see the season’s first visitors taking advantage of the blue skies and clear conditions that have graced the mountain.

The slopes have been a little more populated due to the arrival of Spanish visitors who have come to Grandvalira to make the most of their Public Holidays this week; however there is still no wait time for the lifts and there’s plenty of the piste for everyone!

Pas de la Casa has retained a good level of snow on the slopes since the heavy snowfall three days ago, and most parts of the runs were feeling soft and easy under my board. There are small sections of some runs which are a little hard compact at the moment, however more snowfall is expected tomorrow and over the weekend which is great news.

My favourite run of the day had to be Pista Port – a nice, easy going blue run which snakes its way down the mountain back into Pas de la Casa town. With the sun starting to go down behind the mountains this made for an atmospheric final run of the day – and better yet, there was hardly anyone else to be seen (or rather, to see me fall over)! It’s a good job the snow was soft, otherwise I’m sure I would have gained a bruise or two.

With more snowfall forecasted over the next few days make sure you watch this space for the latest snow data and an updated snow report. In the meantime, happy skiing/snowboarding!

Today the slopes of Grandvalira opened marking the start of another winter season here in Pas de la Casa. Having walked through the town in heavy snowfall last night it was no surprise to wake up this morning and see Pas de la Casa in a foot of deep of snow, and this definitely added to our excitement for the day ahead!

There was limited opening on the mountain due to the weather conditions, but many parts of the slopes were soft and powdery and were a dream to ride.

The day started off cold so we were grateful for the additional layers we put on this morning, but after a few runs our blood was pumping and we were riding on a high despite the temperature.

With more snowfall on its way we are excited for the weeks to come and are confident that 2017/18 will be another cracking season.

Recently you may have been fooled into thinking it's later in the year than it actually is, with fresh snow falling in Grandvalira (even though it is only 13 weeks until Christmas).  Snow this time of year isn't uncommon as the temperature drops as the days get shorter, but unfortunately it doesn't stay around for a long time.  It won't be until November that we see the proper winter snow fall and start to settle.

If it has got you excited for winter and your holiday to Pas de la Casa make sure you are fully prepared by booking all your ski extras and airport transfers here, don't forget as well to bookmark this page as we keep you up-to-date with regular snow reports written by our team in resort and the latest snow forecasts as well.  Grandvalira is due to open on the 2nd of December (conditions permitting) and we can't wait to get back on the slopes!

In the blink of an eye we have reached the final few days of the season, and what a season it has been.  Everything from epic powder days to bluebird skies, and that's just been April! It's been a great year and with a little sadness we say this will be our last snow report of the season.

For the middle of April, there is still great coverage in the Grandvalira area, especially in the Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig sectors due to the height of the resorts.  Even those on first lifts will fond the snow soft due to the light, sunny mornings but watch out for the off harder patch as you pass through areas or runs that are in the shade.  When heading down a run, have a quick look at the conditions in advance to ensure you know what is up ahead.

The sun is extremely strong at the moment, and although the temperatures are peaking at the early 20s, the reflection from the snow means you need to keep the exposed parts of your skin protected with high factor sun cream.  It's an idea to ensure you have the lightest protective clothing possible to ensure you keep cool and enjoy the spring conditions.

With one more weekend to go, there is still plenty to head out early morning and get some miles under your feet then to relax early afternoon soak up the sunshine and enjoy a well-earned Apres ski drink.

Cheers to another great season in Andorra, we hope you have enjoyed reading our updates and we look forward to seeing you all next season.

This week the good temperatures have been prominent in the sector of Pas and Grau Roig, although throughout the week there have been some overcast days and with winds slightly stronger than what we are used to for this time of the year, but this has benefited and contributed to the good conditions of coverage and snow.

Also this week in Pas we have been able to enjoy the World Cup of Speed Skiing that has taken place in Grandvalira Grau Roig (Riberal Slope).

As we have already mentioned, the visibility throughout the week has been very good, although it has varied during the day from being cloudy to sunny and vice versa, therefore we recommend glasses that adapt to all conditions.  It’s also very important to have a good sunscreen (+50 is highly recommended), lastly wear layers since, for example, today early in the morning temperatures were above 15 degrees and at the end of the day we’ve had  temperatures of 5 and light snow.

We are already in April and the snow has kept in very good condition, first thing in the day compact and as the day goes by it becomes spring snow and although you have to adapt your technique, of course you can enjoy it equally.

Since the resort is quite quieter, all the slopes are virtually empty so skiing is an genuine pleasure, especially Direct I and II in Pas de la Casa.

We are in April and in Andorra it’s still snowing, last night it has begun to snow and it is expected to continue snowing until today leaving up to 20 cm of fresh snow.

March and April is being great in terms of snow conditions, we have fantastic coverage, and the snow couldn’t be any better, packed powder in the morning and as the day passes it softens however since the runs are not very busy, the snow stays good in both low and high runs until well into the afternoon.

This week we have really enjoyed absolutely all the runs so picking one is quite difficult, but our team has really enjoyed Camí de Pessons and Montmalús (for its views) and Moretó which is a very wide red run, that over the past few days, has been very quiet. This run goes parallel to the black run Mirador that this week was better than ever, perfectly pisted and with spring snow that has delighted all the skiers in the area.

As for Pas de la Casa all the slopes were perfectly groomed, very little skiers or snowboarders around so we could enjoy the full width of the track to do some carving, and a little bit of racing. Our team have voted and the winners of the week are Isards (blue) Direct I (red) and Taupes (black).

Temperatures during the past week have been very variable, very cold and windy days, with very little visibility and other days of blue skies and without clouds or wind an perfect visibility! so if you come on holiday make sure you pack a little bit of everything as one day you could be walking in flip flops and the following day in snow boots. Bring many layers and both screens for googles if you have them.

Wow it is hard to believe it is March here in Pas de la Casa! Spring skiing has taken on a new meaning with one of the best powder days of the season today.

The snow started on Wednesday night and has barely let off. The biggest drump was last night with almost 50cm falling but the snow has continued to come down heavy all day today. With the snowstorm, today has also been windy at times and incredibly cold so we would recommend wrapping up warm!

Today's strong winds saw the link between Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig closed but there was still plenty to enjoy in Pas de la Casa itself. The wind is due to drop and the sun come out tomorrow, and with all of the weeks snow, it is set to be a great day! We will be up for first lift.

One of the best things about skiing in late March is how empty the runs are - and on the reds and the blacks there was barely anyone about! The blue runs were nicely pisted with the fresh snow for everyone to enjoy.

There has never been a better time to book a last minute spring ski holiday to Andorra!

It's been a brilliant week in Pas de la Casa with bluebird days, little wind and quiet slopes!

With spring conditions in resort, the best snow is to be found first thing in the morning as it can soften up towards the end of the day. Some slopes can become slightly lumpy later in the afternoon, but if you stick to higher reds we found the conditions to be great all day.

Our favourite run this week was black run Granota in Grau Roig where you go through the trees.

Now we are in to mid-March, the resort is quietening down and the slopes have been nicely quiet all week in both Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig.

The high temperatures mean few layers are needed but you definitely need to keep applying suncream as the sun is very strong.  We would also recommend bringing sunglasses for lunchtime and breaks.

You can see the snow conditions for yourself with our video snowboarding in Pas de la Casa yesterday here.

After a windy start to the week, it has been beautifully mild since Wednesday and we have been enjoying bluebird skies and warm temperatures.  The sun has been really strong, so sun cream has been very important as it is easy to burn! This has made for great visibility as well.

The best snow is to be found in the morning as the warm temperatures can mean that the snow softens up after lunch and the busier runs can get a bit lumpy. The highest slopes have the best snow conditions, so we would recommend keeping heading to the top of Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig.  Our favourite run today was red run Pista Llarga.

There were high winds on Monday and Tuesday but since then the winds have dropped so few layers are needed.

There is 25cm of snow on the forecast for tomorrow night with temperatures due to drop so it is the perfect time to think of a last minute ski holiday.

After a beautiful week of bluebird skies, last night saw the resort transformed with 40cm of fresh snow overnight! We got up early to enjoy the powder, but there was still plenty left untracked at lunchtime!

Due to some wind today, the link between Grau Roig and Soldeu was shut but this still left plenty of the mountain to enjoy. The sun kept making its way back out, so with some well-timed coffee breaks you could stil enjoy good visibility.  Temperatures were mild but cold enough to keep the powder in great condition all day, and we are looking forward to being back on it again tomorrow.

With the black runs unpisted, we enjoyed Mirador early in the day but it became more challenging as the day went on as it got more tracked out.  We enjoyed red run Montmalus and going through the trees in Grau Roig.

The runs have been surprisingly quiet for a Saturday with minimal queues today so lots of space to enjoy the fresh snow.

Snow has been coming down intermittently throughout the day with another 14cm due to have come down by tomorrow morning.  More snow is forecast for Sunday and Monday then we are hoping to get the blue skies back to enjoy it!

It has been a mild week in Pas de la Casa with temperatures touching 10 degrees in sunny spots. This has made for great visibility and bluebird days with Thursday the only day we saw clouds in the sky last week. There have been some low winds encouraging us to put on an extra layer over the last two days, but today we saw the wind drop back down again.

Despite the warm temperatures, coverage remains great with the full 210km of Grandvalira's pistes open.  The best snow is to be found in the mornings as it is softening up and get a bit sticker on lower runs later in the day.

The slopes have been fairly busy this week thanks to the half term rush, hence we took advantage of the quieter spots over in Grau Roig where the only lifts that had any real queues were the main link lifts between sectors. We found many of the red runs and particularly black runs to be almost empty - making our favourite run this week the black run Granota in Grau Roig.

If you're travelling with children, make sure to check out the Imaginarium area in Grau Roig where there are fun characters and obstacles to play around. It's Carnaval this weekend, so there are lots of people on the slopes in fancy dress too!

As we type the outlook for the next 7 days is varied with temperatures falling sharply and a few snow showers forecast throughout the week. We start March in a strong position with 100% of slopes open, temperatures dropping and some fresh snow on the forecast.

After a snowy start to the week with Monday's snowstorm, we have been lucky to enjoy bluebird skies the rest of the week! Tuesday saw some low lying clouds but the sun kept making it's way out and has stayed out since Wednesday making for perfect visibility.

The snow is in great condition and there is still some nice powder to be found off piste. All of the pistes are nicely groomed now and all 128 runs (210km of piste) are open. 

Although it has been the British half term week, the slopes have been pleasantly not too busy and lift queues are a maximum 5 minute wait.  We would recommend heading over to Grau Roig for the emptiest runs. Our favourite run this week was the red run Montmalus in Grau Roig, which takes you down through the trees and joins up with the kids Imaginarium area.  It features on our video from Tuesday here.

The forecast for the coming week is more sun, so pack your good visibility lenses and enjoy the restaurant terraces! If you're in Pas de la Casa this week, don't miss the impressive snow sculptures by the main bus stop.

It's been another week of varying weather conditions in Pas de la Casa with 30cm+ of fresh snow on Monday and more falling now!

The snow is in great condition, with generally cool temperatures making it last well.  It's worth getting up early to enjoy the best snow as some of the busier runs can get slightly icier towards the end of the day, although with the fresh snow coming down now we expect this to be different tomorrow!

Thursday was our favourite day of the week as a beautiful bluebird day with perfect visibility and warm temperatures which could be enjoyed on the Olympiades terrace on the slopes! There was music on at the Coll Blanc on the slopes as well which was really busy with lots of dancing.

The resort is getting busier now it's February, so we are enjoying skiing in Grau Roig where the runs are emptier. With every run open, you can cover the full 210km of piste that Grandvalira has to offer. Our favourite run this week is black run Mirador that comes down in to Grau Roig, and for those who want to try a black run for the first time this is one we'd recommend as it is nice and wide.

There is more snow on the forecast for the coming week. For those of you coming to spend half term in Grandvalira, we would recommend packng good thermals as well as goggles for low light and sunny days with the changing conditions.

Snow, sun and wind... this week has seen constantly changing weather in Pas de la Casa!

Yesterday started off snowy, with heavy snow making for reduced visibility but the sun came out at about half 2 making for a beautiful bluebird afternoon. This left the runs in great condition and they were really quiet as lots of people had gone in early to avoid the snow.

The high winds over some of this week has seen the snow get blown around, making for some brilliant powder pockets but also the odd icy patch to watch out for. Head in to the trees in Grau Roig for the best snow on the sheltered runs. The wind has meant that at some points the links between Grau Roig and Soldeu have had to close, but if you do want to go between you can get the L4 bus from the main bus stop to ski the other areas.

This weekend, Grandvalira is hosting the Junior Freeride World Championship at Pic Alt de Cubil in the Encamp sector, with the competition moved to today due to high winds forecast tomorrow.

Also in the forecast is a lot more snow with almost 40cm due tomorrow! It's looking to be another powder week in Pas de la Casa and we can't wait. For daily updates check out our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

The last days in Pas de la Casa have been incredibly variable, from one hour to another the slopes have gone from sunny bluebird skies to snowfall and reduced visibility.

That's why we recommend that if you are heading to Pas this week you must be prepared for everything and do not forget your low light lenses, even if you see the sun in the morning. The temperature hasn’t changed from last week and it still below 0 ° so you should wear at least three layers if you don’t want to be cold in the mountain.

Thanks to all these factors the snow is in optimal conditions! It has snowed at least a few hours during the day and the cold temperature maintains perfectly the texture of the powder that has left thicknesses of up to 150cm in Pas de la Casa, so there is fresh snow for a while!

Due to the amount of snow that has fallen the resort is getting busier as there are many skiers who wants to enjoy the powder.

The piste of the week is red slope Montmalus in the area of ​​Grau Roig, with spectacular views amongst pine forests. The only access is taking the draglift Montmalus that’s why it is one of the quietest slopes of Pas.

With new runs opening over the last few days, we have enjoyed exploring the whole domain of Grandvalira, snowboarding between Pas and Soldeu.

Grandvalira now has 115 runs open and the conditions couldn´t be any better in our opinion! Following the heavy snowfall earlier in the week, the snow remains very good with the mornings the best time to enjoy the mountain as it gets slightly stickier towards the end of the day.  The coverage is great thanks to almost 200cm of fresh snow in a week! There are still some runs where the snow has barely been touched although the runs were slightly busier this weekend.

Although we have seen some sunny days, be aware that it is still very cold as the temperatures have been way below 0.  Yesterday the snow started again and this is supposed to continue across today and tomorrow so wrap up for when you are sat on the exposed chairlifts!  We would especially recommend a good pair of socks as we suffered with cold toes yesterday.

Yesterday, we experienced a little bit of wind, especially in the higher points (ie Coll Blanc in Pas de la Casa) but nothing major. As the day passed, the visibility decreased due to clouds coming in bring snow therefore low visibility lenses were needed. 

We have enjoyed many runs, and yesterday we enjoyed playing in the Xavi Snowpark in Grau Roig and blue run Pista Tobogan, a small half pipe slope.

There has been 50cm+ of fresh snow in recent days so there is loads of powder to enjoy both on and off piste. The resort is very quiet this week, hence there is plenty of opportunity to leave some fresh tracks.

With the snow, unfortunately the wind has come as well today which meant that the higher lifts closed so you couldn't cross over in to Grau Roig this afternoon, but there were still runs to enjoy down to resort level. It is incredibly cold with the wind chill, so make sure you layer up. Due to the heavy snow, visibility was low today and this is set to continue through until Tuesday, so keep the low light lenses on your goggles where possible.

Thanks to the fresh snow, you could enjoy the Montmalus freeride area in Grau Roig this morning - which is one of the best freeride areas in Grandvalira in our opinion.

The forecast is snowy for the rest of the week, with 92cm on the forecast for the next 3 days! Currently there are 132km of piste open, but this should increase as the week goes on.

It has been a beautifully sunny week in Pas de la Casa, but with the cold temperatures the snow cannons have been hard at work to keep the runs in great condition. We are due some more snow this week, with 23cm on the forecast at the moment for Monday to Wednesday!

Currently, Grandvalira has 156km of slopes open, including all links. The best skiing is to be had first thing in the morning at the moment, when the runs are freshly groomed, as some of the slightly busier slopes are getting icier after lunchtime. It is nice and quiet in resort now after the holidays with no lift queues and plenty of room on the slopes.

We have enjoyed practicing in the Xavi Snow Park in Grau Roig, where there are beginner boxes to learn on, as well as black jumps open for those with more experience.

It's been a great week in Pas de la Casa with lots going on, including celebrations for the Spanish Three Kings festival which included costumes, a torchlight descent and firework display on Thursday 5th January. Today sees the opening of brand new Apres bar Diamond CBbC Grandvalira at 6pm which is being managed by the team from Cala Bassa Beach Club in Ibiza.

Happy New Year from Andorra Resorts!

It's been a busy week in Pas de la Casa due to the holiday's but the snow remains in great condition with 153km of piste open, including all of the links between resorts. 

The snow cannons were hard at work today, maintaining the conditions well on piste. One of our favourite runs today was red run Pessons, which takes you past the restaurant overlooking the frozen lake as you go down in to Grau Roig.

Temperatures have dropped this week so we would definitely recommend layering up and there was a cold wind in resort today. However with the sun still out, visibility remains good.

This week in Pas de la Casa, night skiing has opened for the first time this season with the Tubs track and the Solana chairlift open until 8pm on Friday's and Saturday's.  The Iglu hotel also opened this week, where you can stay overnight in Grau Roig in a real igloo!

We wish you a Merry Christmas from the Andorra Resorts Team!

We've loved skiing in Grandvalira over Christmas and Boxing Day... we couldn't think of a better place to spend it than up the mountain! Today we skied from Soldeu to Pas de la Casa and back again, with bluebird skies, great visibility and no wind. The snow is slightly firm first thing in the morning but it did soften up as the day went on and the best skiing is to be had around lunchtime.

We went through the Xavi Snow Park in Grau Roig, and the jumps are in great condition with different boxes and rails to push yourself on.  Our favourite run today was the red run Serrat Pinos with the mixture of steep and flatter sections. As we move in to New Year's week, the runs are fairly busy in Pas de la Casa, but Grau Roig retains its quieter charm.

The forecast is currently showing temperatures dropping from the weekend onwards so looks like some colder weather is on the way...

You can see our pictures from the day on our Facebook page here.

For Boxing Day, many of the bars in the village are putting on live music with a mixture of Christmas songs thrown in!

WIth the sun out yesterday, it was a great day to be up the mountain so we skied in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig.  Being a Sunday and so close the Christmas, the slopes were busier than the last week but there was still plenty of room with emptier slopes in Grau Roig.

Overall, the snow is in good condition after fresh snow on Friday and there is more snow on the forecast for tonight and tomorrow! With temperatures lowering, the snow cannons have been on and the snow is grippy packed powder so great for improving at any level.

All the links from Pas de la Casa to Soldeu were open and at the moment we are enjoying 136km of slopes! Our favourite run of the day yesterday was red run Serrat Pinos from Grau Roig to Soldeu.

The weather was beautiful with bluebird skies, great visibility and no wind. We stopped for a cold drink on the terrace of the Olympiades hotel in Pas de la Casa to enjoy the views - sunglasses were necessary! There is a great atmosphere for apres and nightlife as the resort is busier with lots of young people this week.

Yesterday we had a few hours to do what we love most, we went skiing from Pas de la Casa to Soldeu; this normally takes around 1.5 hours (for your average intermediate skier) but of course this is dependent on how you ski and also the conditions.

In general the snow conditions were good, just the odd patch of ice with the snow softening up later in the day and in the sunnier spots.

The temperatures remain fairly mild, around 7 degrees, it was a lovely calm day with no wind and the sun shining brighly, therefore perfect visibility.

All the links from Pas de la Casa to Soldeu were open and at the moment we are enjoying 147km of very quiet slopes! Our favourite run of the day yesterday was red run Menera in Grau Roig.

Check out the video that we filmed, we hope you like it!

Today we skied Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig before skiing across to Soldeu. The slopes were fairly busy in Pas de la Casa with it being a Sunday and a Spanish bank holiday but over in Grau Roig it was still beautifully quiet! This made our favourite run the red run Pala Nova. With the links between Grau Roig and Soldeu open, we explored the two.

It was a cloudy day, which did make for some varying visibility but also a sprinkling of snow! It was a day for low light lenses on the goggles and a buff with some cold winds.  However, the sun did make it's way out periodically, still making for some beautiful views.

The snow cannons have been hard at work this week and the snow is overall in great condition with packed powder on most runs.

Yesterday was opening day for Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig so we went for a team ski! The slopes were really quiet first thing, giving us plenty of space to find our ski legs and it then started to get slightly busier as the day went on.

With low temperatures, it was snowing lighlty and the snow cannons were firing which will help the base layer continue to build. The sun shone briefly but we were happy that it mainly stayed cloudy as the snow kept coming in.

Our favourite run was red run Directa I in Pas with perfect conditions and soft powder.  We also went over to Grau Roig and skied Pala Nova and Pista llarga where there were pockets of powder, but overall the snow was slightly firmer.

We had a great day, but we are definitely aching a bit today! Check out the conditions for yourself with our pictures from the day under the photos tab here and our opening day video here.

It's less than two weeks until the start of the 2016-17 ski season and already we've received quite a lot of snow and the mountains are turning white.  It's been very cold too so the snow cannons have started to operate too, combining with the natural snowfall.  The mountain is scheduled to open on 26th November, subject to weather conditions.

If you're looking to organise your winter 2016-17 ski holiday to Pas de la Casa then head over to our holidays page where you can plan and book a fully flexible trip, or just the things you need.

Our regular snow report will start once the mountain opens.

Sadly it's the final weekend of the season here in Andorra so the last two days to enjoy skiing Pas de la Casa and the Grandvalira area.  We had heavy snow last night, but a bit of wind too, so around 20cm of fresh snow on the mountain.

It's very cold today so wrap up warm, and cloudy too with some snow in the air, so not amazing visibility, although super snow over in Grau Roig.  Hopefully the sun's going to come out tomorrow acording to the forecast so looks like the last weekend is going to be great.

What a powder day to explore Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa! We had over 30cm of fresh snow to enjoy both off-piste and on the actual runs. Everyone has been loving the fluffy snow and certainly making the most of very quiet slopes, wide runs and perfect snow conditions, especially if you are an early bird.

Temperatures are normal for April, warm and sunny, so today it wasn’t necessary to wear lots of layers, just a t-shirt and coat was enough.

Visibility was very good and dark googles or good pair of sunglasses were more than welcome, especially if you are thinking of stopping for a drink, or food and lying on one of the lounges in pessons or just chilling on one of the many terraces over Pas and Grau and the forecast for the rest of the week is to remain the same with a high chance of more snow on Saturday

Grandvalira is closing on Sunday with over 190 km of skiable domain.

Today we hit the slopes of Grandvalira first thing with compact powder, so nice and easy going, getting softer throughout the day.  It's pretty warm and sunny, which is what we love and expect at this time of year, with the snow getting quite soft in the afternoon.

Visibility was perfect, with the sun shining high, somne stunning mountain views to take in.  Make sure you pack your sun cream, and enjoy one of the many terraces to sunbathe when you take a breather.  A couple of our favourites are the Cala Bassa terrace in Pas de la Casa and by Lake Pessons in Grau Roig.

The forecast says hopefully it will be a little cooler towards the weekend and maybe a little new snow.

We skied from Pas right across to El Tarter this morning, it was a really enjoyable morning of skiing thanks to the snow conditions remaining in top shape, we now have a great base in place thanks to all the heavy snowfall earlier this month, plus we received a light dusting overnight making the skiing smooth and easy.

Slopes are a bit busier than usual thanks to it being Spanish and Portuguese half term, this adds to the time taken to cross the area, however with 208km of slopes open (out of a possible 210km) there is plenty of space for everyone and lots of skiing available. We stuck mainly to the red runs today and even had a little ski through the kids Imaginarium experience, fun for kids and adults alike!

Weather wise, visibility was great and the temperatures have picked up a bit, add to that a lack of wind and it made for perfect pleasant skiing conditions.

All links are open as well as the snowparks (including Snowpark Xavi in Grau Roig) so plenty available to explore and enjoy.

Beautiful day so we are going skiing to check the conditions. Keep an eye on the snow report later on and in our Facebook page for pictures.

17 March 2016

The sun is out and over 40CM OF FRESH POWDER was waiting for us this morning! It was a fantastic morning on the slopes with plenty of beautiful powder snow to enjoy. The pistes have been busier today (as you would expect on a sunshine and powder day), leading to the snow becoming quite choppy and tracked out on some slopes.  We found the best skiing to be had was off piste and playing around in between the slopes where the snow was very soft and easy to glide through.

Visibility was good all day, with plenty of people enjoying the terraces up on the mountain too, however towards the end of the day clouds did start to accumulate around the higher points between Pas and Grau.

All links across Grandvalira were open today and around 207km of slopes, so plenty to explore, although the conditions are great, the tracked out powder can be a little tiring on the legs, so you may need to take it easy if you are aiming to cover some serious kilometres.

Today we headed up the mountain (from Soldeu) at around 11:00 and were initially greeted by fantastic weather with blue skies and sunshine, however as the day passed a few clouds started to move in in readiness for the forecasted snow, with it the temperatures dropped and the wind started to pick up towards the end of the day, holding us back on our skis a little at times.

We skied from Soldeu back over to Pas and despite the clouds coming in later on visibility was pretty good right across Grandvalira. Snow coverage in general is great, we found the odd icy patch on some of the busier slops but easily avoidable. The best skiing is to be had on some of the quieter slopes where the snow is less disturbed and offering up some really enjoyable conditions, in particular we found a lot of the black slopes quiet and in great condition today, these included Aliga (El Tarter), Avet (Soldeu) and Mirador (Grau Roig), great for challenging the ski legs.

We got to the slopes back in Pas at around 12:30, it was just starting to snow very lightly as per the forecast, we are expecting light snow showers for the next couple of days before a heavier band of snow is due to arrive with us on Wednesday / Thursday.

120 (out of 122) slopes open today, 100% of lifts and links open so a great day to cover a lot of kms and explore the whole area.  The snowparks are still looking good, with plenty of beginners having a go on the smaller jumps in Xavi Snowpark (Grau Roig), we stopped and watched for a little while today and even spotted some brave youngsters (around 5 or 6 yrs) having a go and enjoying themselves, it’s a great fun park for anyone looking to have a go at freestyle for the first time.

We skied from Soldeu back over to Pas and despite the clouds coming in later on visibility was pretty good right across Grandvalira. Snow coverage in general is great, we found the odd icy patch on some of the busier slops but easily avoidable. The best skiing is to be had on some of the quieter slopes where the snow is less disturbed and offering up some really enjoyable conditions, in particular we found a lot of the black slopes quiet and in great condition today, these included Aliga (El Tarter), Avet (Soldeu) and Mirador (Grau Roig), great for challenging the ski legs.

We got to the slopes back in Pas at around 12:30, it was just starting to snow very lightly as per the forecast, we are expecting light snow showers for the next couple of days before a heavier band of snow is due to arrive with us on Wednesday / Thursday.

120 (out of 122) slopes open today, 100% of lifts and links open so a great day to cover a lot of kms and explore the whole area.  The snowparks are still looking good, with plenty of beginners having a go on the smaller jumps in Xavi Snowpark (Grau Roig), we stopped and watched for a little while today and even spotted some brave youngsters (around 5 or 6 yrs) having a go and enjoying themselves, it’s a great fun park for anyone looking to have a go at freestyle for the first time.

We excitedly woke up to heavy snowfall this morning; the clouds were low and had settled in over Pas bringing lots of fresh powder in the process. Visibility was poor, however we headed out to check out the snow conditions nonetheless. Wind was low and all links open across Grandvalira so we planned to ski over to Soldeu, however quickly realised that it probably wasn’t the best idea as the higher up we went it became particularly difficult to see, so we decided to stay local and have a play around in the powder in Pas instead. Snow conditions were fantastic, plenty of powder to enjoy and fresh snow falling most of the day. All in all an enjoyable couple of hours on the slopes, however we are particularly looking forward to the snow clouds clearing tomorrow (fingers crossed) and hopefully a bluebird day to come…

UPDATE: 10 March 2016

AMAZING CONDITIONS today! The clouds did indeed disappear and left us with a perfect bluebird day, the last few days have left approx. 30cm of fresh powder, with bright blue skies today was the ideal day to enjoy it. It’s still not too busy on the slopes and we are looking forward to welcoming the Speed Skiing World Cup this weekend (in Grau Roig). Grandvalira have also indicated that they hope to open 100% of runs this weekend, they have fallen just short so far this season but everything is pointing in the right direction at the moment so let's hope so. However that said, 207km out of 210km this week isn't bad going!

Today we took a nice long ski between Pas de la Casa and Canillo, conditions remain in excellent condition right across Grandvalira, thanks to further consistent snowfall in recent days. The snow has been heavy enough to leave a nice fresh blanket of powder on the slopes, but also not too heavy allowing for some sunny spells to break through and good visibility, meaning we can really enjoy the great snow conditions this week.

Temperatures have remained cold for a while now and nothing much is set to change in the coming days, it hardly made it above freezing today and we were thankful for buffs and gloves higher up and on the lifts.

Not too many people around on the slopes today which is always a bonus, ideal for some relaxed exploring, enjoying the odd sunny spell and some gentle, easy skiing on great snow.

All the links are open right across Grandvalira and 207km (out of 210km) of slopes were available today, there are just a handful of slopes eluding us which means we can’t quite say we have 100% open but it’s very close!

Some of our best runs today included Taupes (black) which was in amazing condition and a real pleasure to ski, as well as Menera (red) over the mountain in Grau Roig. We also took a little ski through the Mont Magic children’s area whilst we were over in Canillo which is a great fun, safe spot for the little ones. Before heading home we had a play around in Xavi snowpark (Grau Roig) which like the rest of Grandvalira right now is in great condition and perfect for trying out a few little tricks and jumps (a much more easy going snowpark than the larger one found El Tarter).

The forecast is showing continued light snowfall with the odd sunny spell in between and a heavier day of snow (maybe up to 20cm) expected on Wednesday. It’s looking like the last month of the season is going to be a good one!

We posted a few pics from today’s skiing on our Facebook page, check them out here.

POWDER snow conditions today as it has been snowing for the past 3 days! The snowfall has been light to moderate but falling consistently, this has resulted in a nice accumulation of fresh powder across the slopes.

If you are heading up the mountain today dress for the cold weather, we expect temperatures to hit a max of around -4 degrees Celsius and lows hitting a potential -12 with a light wind chill factored in.

Visibility across Pas and Grau is mixed, the clouds are sitting fairly low, so in the clouds it's a little difficult but once away from them it brightens up and improves as you head across the mountain to Soldeu.

All links are open across Grandvalira today with up to 205km of skiable terrain on offer; the slopes are pretty quiet at the moment and providing some great conditions for those arriving this week.

Next week's forecast shows further snow to come with the heaviest fall due on Wednesday, we are enjoying some fantastic consistent snowfall so far this month, and temperatures are set to remain very cold!  

The freestyle areas are all open for anyone looking to practice their tricks, and for the real adrenaline junkies don´t forget that From March 10 to 13 Grandvalira will once again host two trials of the Speed Skiing World Cup (in the Grau Roig sector).

A cold day once again in Pas as low cloud and some windy conditions left a cold nip in the air. By midday the clouds started to disappear and the wind died down, leaving some nice sunshine and good visibility later in the day. The snow is still relatively fresh on the slopes after heavy snowfall on the weekend; the groomers have now packed it down with most places resembling packed powder conditions, very enjoyable under foot for skiing / boarding.

It seems to be getting colder by the day with more snow on the forecast from Saturday onwards, leaving the outlook good for those arriving this weekend. Make sure to check back and we will keep you updated!

A very cold and blustery day on the slopes today, we tried to stay fairly low in the less exposed areas of the slopes where the weather was better and visibility improved. The higher areas of the mountain were much more susceptible to the high winds and required plenty of layers to cover your face and ears, a balaclava was a welcome piece of kit up there today! Temperatures averaged around -6 degrees Celsius and the gusts of wind strong at times.

NOTE: Due to the winds a few chairlifts were closed today, in particular TSD6 Pla de les Pedres Soldeu which is the main link between Grau Roig and Soldeu/El Tarter.

Run of The Day: Today we took the Montmalús lift (a long button lift near the snowpark in Grau Roig) to the top where you have two options; left will take you down the Montmalus red run, or right will take you down a black run called Granota, we headed on down Montmalús which is one of our favourites, it’s a lovely scenic slope which stretches down between the mountains and is always particularly enjoyable after a recent snowfall, with a white blanket of snow covering the rocks and trees off to the sides, it was a beautiful view.

Even with the strong winds the snow conditions were perfect after a weekend of heavy snow. Local forecasts are showing a mixture of sunshine, cloud and snow showers later this week, temperatures may drop further and we could be in for a day of two of blustery weather before winds die down later this week. Either way, be prepared with plenty of layers and something to cover your face on the lifts this week.

Today Grandvalira had 179km (of a possible 210km) of terrain open, the high winds affecting their ability to open some lifts / runs.

A day not to forget your gloves in Pas de la Casa today as temperatures dropped well below freezing at the summits, however winds have been quite tame today so not too much of an added wind chill thankfully.

It is expected to snow quite heavily in the coming few days so the resorts are hoping to see 100% of the possible 210km of skiable terrain open, and with 198km currently open it’s a good possibility.

The snow cannons have been working hard to make the most of the cold temperatures, so with the extra snow coverage skiing conditions are still very good, the odd icy patch here and there but easily avoidable.

This weekend sees the start of the Women’s World Cup Ski Racing in Grandvalira which is expected to draw crowds of spectators, fans and press, this will likely affect the El Tarter/ Soldeu sectors mostly, however may see increased numbers on the slopes in across Grandvalira in general.

Update: 28 February 2016 AM

The last two days have seen the forecasted snow materialise with consistent (and at times heavy) snowfall throughout the day on Saturday, the snow clouds remain with us on Sunday morning and it’s looking like another snowy day. We will post a further update on conditions once we have had a chance to hit the slopes and check out the conditions for ourselves.

It’s hard to find any negatives about the conditions in Pas and Grau at the moment, today was yet again a beautiful day to enjoy the mountain. The last fresh snowfall was a couple of days ago, therefore the powder has now become packed down offering lovely smooth conditions for skiing, with hardly any bumpy / icy patches to be found.

Temperature wise, lows of -6 degrees Celsius mean a pair of gloves and an extra layer is needed, but the sun shining down across Grandvalira today took the edge off the cold, it actually felt quite pleasant at times.

Currently there is plenty of terrain to go at, the links between all six sectors are open and 206km of slopes are available for you to explore.

It’s hard to find any negatives about the conditions in Pas and Grau at the moment, today was yet again a beautiful day to enjoy the mountain. The last fresh snowfall was a couple of days ago, therefore the powder has now become packed down offering lovely smooth conditions for skiing, with hardly any bumpy / icy patches to be found.

A Lovely day in Pas de la Casa today, the snow clouds have parted and left blue skies and fresh snow on the slopes. Even with the sun shining temperatures remain very low hovering between -4 and -8 degrees Celsius, therefore wrapping up warm with plenty of layers is a must.

Fresh, powder snow was plentiful today, and much like the last few days conditions for skiing / boarding are almost perfect. The natural snowfall in recent days coupled with a top up from the snow cannons has left the slopes in prime condition, with almost no icy or bumpy patches. Low winds today have also added to the pleasant conditions.

Snow conditions are improving day by day at the moment and Grandvalira are edging closer to opening 100% of slopes, today we had 206km out of 210km slopes on offer with snow depths gradually improving all the time. We are enjoying some of the best conditions of the season so far, now is the perfect time to come join us!

Yet another beautiful day in Pas today, there were no clouds in sight and the sun was shining, another perfect day for hitting the slopes.  There was the occasional cold breeze nipping away at your face, lows of -5 degrees celsius and highs of zero meant even with the sunshine you needed an extra layer. The fresh powder of recent days has now become groomed snow, still ensuring quality skiing for the most part, there are a few bumpy spots to be found but rare and easily avoidable.

A little tip for you...If you are skiing from Pas de la Casa to Grau Roig, you are more than likely going to take the run Pala Nova (red) down towards the Igloo Hotel, but if you want a slight change, have a look out for the exit to Pista Llarga (red) which is located on the right about half way down the decent of Pala Nova towards the Igloo Hotel, what you’ll find is a lovely open and exciting red run which takes you away from the traffic towards Grau Roig and lets you really enjoy the scenery. Give it a try!

The outlook for the next few days is more fresh snow (starting tonight) so it’s the perfect time to join us, we're hoping for a little sunshine to accompany the new snow this week, that would set us up for great conditions in this busy half term week. We now have a massive 203km of skiable terrain open in Grandvalira!

A very snowy day today in Pas and Grau, leaving a fresh carpet of powder on the slopes and resulting in almost perfect snow conditions, however a strong wind at the top of Pas and low cloud did make visibility poor, therefore skiing was difficult at times even on the perfect snow.  Later on in the day the clouds parted leaving pockets of blue sky and sun to enjoy.

The heavy snow that lasted from this morning through to early afternoon means that the slopes are now topped up with a fresh layer of powder snow making it the perfect time to hit the slopes.  Today we took the link from Grau to Soldeu with relative ease as the lifts were quiet with hardly any queues, we enjoyed this quieter spell before the half term crowds arrive next week.

Grandvalira currently has 195km of skiable terrain available and announced today that they hope to have 100% of the area (210km) open this weekend.

The outlook for next week is for plenty of snowfall accompanied by very cold temperatures (it could get as low as -20 with the wind chill) so be prepared.

After a complete mix of weather conditions yesterday we ended the day with heavy snow which continued throught he night leaving us with 25cm of fresh powder on the slopes.  This has allowed more slopes to open so today you have 194km of pistes to enjoy!

The temperature has stayed low, a few below zero, and there are still snow clouds filling the sky so we're hopeful of more snow later.  The forecast shows we should get more over the next few days, so we'll all be keeping our fingers crossed.

It's shaping up to be a good week on the slopes. After receiving around 15cm of fresh snowfall yesterday and a further dusting overnight (as well as some additional top-ups from the snow cannons) the snow is in great shape, we enjoyed fresh powder conditions yesterday, more likely to find packed powder on the pistes today and some nice easy skiing.

We woke up today to sunny but cold weather conditions, and after a blustery start yesterday the wind has died down, it's looking like today will be a great day to enjoy the slopes.  All links across Grandvalira are open this morning, with further slopes opening up in Pas / Grau and 189km of skiable terrain is available.

The week ahead looks very promising, local forecasts are showing snowfall almost every day, setting us up very nicely for the busy half term holidays next week.

The sun is out over Pas today but it's feeling chilly, and the temperature is set to continue to drop over the weekend and into next week, with snow on the forecast for tonight as well as throughout the week.  The local weather forecast is predicting 10-15cm of snow tonight, which is great news for those of you coming out soon.

Currently the slopes are pretty hard packed, although the snow earlier in the week helped, but things should improve over the coming days with low temperatures for the snow cannons to work coupled with the natural snow we're expecting.

A warmer day today in Pas and Grau Roig, providing a nice change from the colder snaps in recent days. Today was a day for getting up the mountain early and enjoying the freshly groomed morning conditions, followed by an afternoon soaking up some rays, in fact the bars, restaurants and terraces up on the slopes were doing a roaring trade today as we witnessed many skiers and snowboarders stopping for a much needed break and soaking up the sunshine.

The technical team at Grandvalira have done a fantastic job, working tirelessly to ensure conditions remain good with the snow still in great shape. We have 189km of skiable terrain open today, covering it all will be thirsty work, we would recommend light layers that you can take on and off as you move in and out of the shade / direct sunlight.

The forecast for the next few days is showing a dip in temperatures again from Wednesday onwards, with a possibility of more snow on the way later this week.

A cold day again in Pas, especially at the very top of the mountain, but yet again the sun was shining taking the edge off the average temps of around -1. There is still good snow coverage across the the slopes as a whole, with 195km of skiable terrain open to enjoy.

If you are heading from Pas/Grau Roig to Soldeu then we recommend you try a red run called Serrat Pinós, a nice long and open run which allows you to let go and really test your ski legs.

Pas de la Casa was a lot colder today with lows of -3 degrees celsius which you could really feel when you reached the top. At town level today Pas was blanketed in thick fog which made visibility very difficult, but higher up above the fog was a fantastic view of the mountain tips peaking through a white blanket.

Today we skied from Pas de la Casa to El Tarter which is something you must do once when you visit, the route is easy enough with plenty of blues and reds, plus some optional blacks to conquer if you wish. It's the perfect way to explore the 195km of skiable terrain now open in Grandvalira.

Brilliant weather today for skiing in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig! The sun is shining and the sky is clear blue with highs of 6 degrees celsius. Today was a day of hard skiing (currently 201km of skiable terrain open in Grandvalira) and even harder relaxing. We took L'avi (blue) down to the bottom of the Llac del Cubil lift in Grau Roig which rather unconventionally has a moving carpet that pulls you along as the chairlift carefully sweeps you up.

We then took red run 'Cami de Pessons' to the Refugi de Pessons restaurant next to the frozen lake. It's a wonderful location and perfect for a day like today when the sun is shining and you can enjoy the terrace. The restuarant itself specialises in traditional mountain cuisine but there is also a small window where you can buy fast food such as pizzas and burgers along with soft drinks and beer. A great place to stop for a rest!

A wonderful day for skiing today, the sun is shining and the snow coverage is plentiful so we have the best of both worlds! Temperatures have picked up a bit from the freezing conditions last week and we are currently enjoying temps of around 5 degrees celsius, it can feel a bit warmer in the sunshine, sunscreen is recommended to fend off the goggle tan!

Today is a day for soaking up the sun, skiing for hours on end (we currently have 201km of skiable terrain open and in great condition) and maybe finishing up the day on one of Grandvalira's great terraces with a beer in hand, relaxing the tired legs!

Temperatures of around 5 celsius and sunny spells make Pas De La Casa / Grau Roig the perfect place to get out on your skis / snowboards today.  Pas is the highest resort in the Grandvalira ski area meaning the sunshine will be plenty today and the snow still nice and fresh.

Take it easy on your skis and enjoy the views up here, with 195km of skiable terrain open, there is plenty to go at, a perfect day to pack the camera or helmet cam and get some great footage of the slopes!

As usual we will be skiing in Pas De La Casa and Grau Roig in the coming days so make sure to keep checking back for piste and run updates.

What a glorious day on the mountain!  We woke to beautiful sunshine so it was a day for getting the suncream out, and started the day by heading to El Tarter to go dog sledding, which was a fantastic activitity and one we'd definitely recommend.  After the excitement of the sledding as well as meeting the gorgeous husky puppies we headed back to Pas-Grau for some skiing.

Heading up Cubil chair lift offered stunning views across the mountains before descending to Lake Pessons for lunch.  The snow conditions are absolutely perfect, great coverage and still lovely powder to be found from the snow at the beginning of the week.  After lunch we headed back to Pas de la Casa - the run back to town was surprisingly quiet given how great the snow is right now.

Grandvalira now have 192km open, so a huge number of slopes to enjoy, and we hear they're opening more this weekend.

It's snowed heavily overnight with the clouds still looking heavy and snow on the forecast.  There's around 20cm in the town, and plenty of fresh powder on the mountain for you to enjoy.

It's nice and cold, just below freezing this morning, so conditions are ideal, plus the total number of slopes open in Grandvalira has increased up to 194km so getting very close to being fully open.

The fresh snow has been great for the pistes and there is a whopping 102 runs open today. The team have been out skiing today but the wind has been so strong we have kept to the lower slopes which are less exposed and protected by the trees. We have been on the Eslálom and Salvans runs down into Soldeu cutting in and out of the trees and enjoying the fluffy new snow. Not quite powder day, but if it keeps snowing overnight ther is going to be some awesome powder in the morning!

The team have been out skiing today and they are loving the runs over in the Soldeu sector at the moment as the snow is a little better, favourite runs of the day include Ós, Duc and Gall de Bosc.

The snow has taken a brief break and the clouds are clearing to show the stunning snow covered trees. The forecast is for lots more snow over the next few days and temperatures of about -4 degrees, so more layers are required. There is a massive 120km of linked pistes to enjoy across Grandvalira, making it one of the best areas to ski at the moment. The team are heading up this afternoon so check back later for our best runs and tips.

5pm - We've been up on the slopes but with all the snow it's very cloudy and not great visibility, and much colder than it has been recently. This afternoon we explored Soldeu and headed from the top of the gondola down Bosc Fosc to the town.  Not surprisingly after all the new snow the piste conditions were fantastic, but after second run down Ós it was time to warm up with a hot chocolate!

The team were skiing mainly in the Soldeu - El Tarter sectors today and the best runs are the ones that are tree lined and less exposed to the sunshine. The slopes are extremely quiet for the weekend before Christmas with barely another person on the same run. There is just under 70% of the pistes open in Grandvalira, thats a massive 140km of linked pistes to enjoy. Most of the lift links between sectors are running and although there are a couple of small grassy patches the snow cannons have been working hard most evenings and there is some great skiing to be had.

The Spanish bank holiday is at an end and the slopes are quiet again. Many of the lift links between sectors are running which allow you to ski freely across the 170km of pistes that are currently open. With snow forecast for tomorrow the conditions are set to get better with more lifts and runs opening all the time.

Most of the lift links between sectors are running which allow you to ski freely across the 170km of pistes that are open. The morning started a little cloudy but is slowly clearing for another beautiful sunny blue sky day. It is a little fresh up there today to an extra layer might be required! The conditions for the start of December are fab and with cooler temperatures coming in this weekend pistes will remain in great shape all day long.

It is a wonderful warm blue sky day today in Pas de la Casa. Every day more and more slopes are opening across Grandvalira and with the link from Grau-Roig to Soldeu now open it is possible to ski more than half of the Grandvalira pistes, with most in great condition for early December.  There are a couple of minor grassy patches to contend with but most runs are beautifully groomed still!

This weekend forecast's snow and freezing temperatures, so with a great base layer already its going to be an amazing December here. If you've not organised your trip yet then take a look at to our holidays page where you can plan and book everything you need for your Pas de la Casa ski holiday.

Today is opening day so we hit the slopes of Grandvalira.  The season has got off to a great start with excellent coverage for November, although the link between Pas-Grau and Soldeu-El Tarter isn't open yet so you have to choose between them.

With freezing temperatures throughout the week the snow cannons will be working hard to open more slopes as we get into December.  We'll be updating our snow report regularly throughout the season so keep checking back regularly for updates.

Pas is currently a lovely white winter wonderland!  We have received a good amount of natural snowfall over the last few days, today it has snowed heavily with around half a metre expected on the mountain.  The piste bashers are out in force working hard to get the pistes ready for opening day and we are really looking forward to getting our skis on and heading up the mountain soon!  There is more snow forecast over the coming week, as soon as the resort is open for skiing and snowboarding we will be up on the slopes bringing you all the latest snow reports.

Get organised and save money by pre-booking your Pas de la Casa ski rental, lift passes and group lessons here.

Weather Forecast

You will find an up-to-date local weather forecast below to give you a general picture of what the Grandvalira weather may be like! Due to the location in the mountains, the weather can change quickly and often which makes it quite difficult to predict. From experience, we find that the closer to the actual time the forecasts get more reliable, especially when they are predicting the amount of snowfall.
