Grandvalira, Ski area in Canillo and Encamp, Andorra.
Grandvalira is a ski area in Andorra made up of seven linked sectors: Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, Peretol, Soldeu, El Tarter, Canillo and Encamp. Its slopes total about 210 km across the parishes of Encamp and Canillo, reaching the French border. The lowest access is Encamp at 1,300 m, the highest point Coll Blanc at 2,528 m.
Grandvalira was formed in the winter of 2003 by merging Pas de la Casa-Grau Roig, founded in 1956, with Soldeu-El Tarter, founded in 1964. The name comes from the Valira river that runs alongside the slopes. The Peretol sector was added for the 2019-2020 season, and in 2018 the resort joined Ordino Arcalís under Grandvalira Resorts, with Pal Arinsal added in 2022.
The name Grandvalira comes from the Valira river that runs alongside the slopes. In Canillo, the Mont Magic family area draws on the legend of Tamarro, an imaginary animal of Andorran mythology, with themed runs where children meet witches, fairies and elves. The Peretol snowpark hosts night freestyle sessions.
Seven access points line the CG-2 and the French road: Pas de la Casa (2100 m), Grau Roig (2120 m), El Peretol (1950 m), Soldeu (1800 m), El Tarter (1719 m), Canillo (1500 m) and Encamp (1300 m). Canillo and Encamp are not ski-in bases; you reach the slopes by cable car. Parking is available at Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, El Peretol, Soldeu, Canillo and Encamp.
Artificial snowmaking covers roughly 270 hectares of the area and ensures snow coverage from December through April. This provides reliable conditions even when natural snowfall is lighter.
