The plan
The plan, hour by hour
Designed to arrive in Soldeu on Friday night, ski towards Pas de la Casa on Saturday and through El Tarter and Canillo on Sunday, and return on Sunday afternoon via La Seu d'Urgell.
Friday
- 121:00Arrival in Soldeu
Via La Seu d'Urgell, the Sant Julià customs post and the CG-2 through Andorra la Vella, Encamp and Canillo. At the Sport Hotel Village you set off for the slopes on Saturday in its own cable car.
Saturday
- 109:00Towards Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa
Dynamic-price lift pass, bought online for the weekend: from two days it is also valid at Pal Arinsal and Ordino Arcalís. Cross through El Tarter and Soldeu towards Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa.
- 213:30Lunch at Llac de Pessons
From Grau Roig, skiing down the Pessons piste, to the refuge beside the lake, at 2,350 metres: escudella, trinxat and chargrilled meats. Call first on +376 759 015.
- 318:30Snowpark at night at Peretol
If it is a night-skiing day, the Henrik Harlaut Snowpark opens under artificial light: €26. Or the night-piste lift pass, €28.50.
Sunday
- 109:00El Tarter and Canillo
The 1.3 km El Tarter snowpark and the easy slopes of Canillo. Anyone who doesn't ski has the guided snowshoe outing from Canillo, from 14:00 to 16:00, from €30.50, or the Màgic Gliss slide.
- 216:30Return
Along the CG-2 and La Seu d'Urgell. Road conditions in Andorra, from Mobilitat: (+376) 1802 1802.
From Lleida, the C-14 climbs through Ponts and Organyà to La Seu d'Urgell, and from there the border and Andorra's main road lead to Soldeu: about two and a half hours. From Barcelona, about three. Grandvalira can be skied from one end to the other without taking your skis off, so two days are enough to see all of it: Saturday towards Pas de la Casa, Sunday towards Canillo.
What to bring
Your ID card or passport: there is a check at the border, and the ticket office asks for it for the age-based lift-pass categories. Check your mobile plan, because Andorra is not in the European Union. And snow chains in the car: the CG-2 climbs above 2,000 metres.
Snowshoeing to Pessons
If someone in the group prefers to walk, Rutes Pirineus goes on fixed dates from the El Cubil car park, in Grau Roig, to the lakes and cirque of Pessons: 9.5 km and 530 metres, from age 9, for €47.90 plus €9.90 for snowshoes.
Where to sleep
In Soldeu, at the foot of the slopes: the four-star Sport Hotel Village has a cable car from inside the hotel, and the five-star Hermitage has direct access to a 5,000 m² spa. With children, Canillo is at the door of its sector of easy slopes.

How you travel
The same break, your way
The plan stays the same. What changes is where you sleep, how you get there and how much you spend.
