Discover El Pas De La Casa

El Pas De La Casa appeals to travellers who want to plan their stay around specific activities: the Pas de la Casa sector has wide ski slopes with varying levels of difficulty. Night skiing is available on the Tubs slope; operations depend on the season and weather. Since the opening of individual slopes changes seasonally, it is worth checking the information for your planned visit.

Skiing, via ferratas and routes for different types of bike

There are also marked destinations for active days away from the slopes. The Coll dels Isards area in Pas de la Casa offers via ferrata routes. The semicircular mountain biking route 125 starts in Pas de la Casa and leads to Estany de les Abelletes. According to the route description, it is suitable for mountain bikes, e-bikes and gravel bikes. Another route goes from Pas de la Casa to Port d’Envalira: it is 4.9 kilometres long, has an average gradient of 6.4 per cent and climbs 319 metres.

When choosing a holiday destination, you can start by considering the activity you want to do: skiing and night skiing offer a different focus from a bike ride to a named destination. If the slopes are your main priority, the wide range of difficulty levels is a useful guide; if you are planning a bike ride, route 125 or the details for the route to Port d’Envalira provide more specific planning options.

More experiences in the wider destination of Encamp

In the wider destination of Encamp, the Funicamp gondola lift is located in the Encamp area. It passes through the Cortals valley and takes passengers to Solanelles. Several routes start at its intermediate station, offering a way to explore Encamp’s high-mountain landscapes. Mountain bike circuits, 4x4 bus excursions and the Clots de l’Aspra Via Ferrata can also be reached from there; the availability of these activities may vary by season.

Encamp also offers a range of options for walks. The Llac d’Engolasters route is about two kilometres long and takes approximately two hours: around one hour and 15 minutes are spent walking to the end, and about 45 minutes on the downhill return. Along the Camí de les Pardines, there are small botanical gardens featuring Pyrenean plants, several bridges and a small waterfall. The Aixopluc de les Bruixes is also located there, a shelter commemorating the legend of the witches of Engolasters and the women accused of witchcraft in Andorra, particularly in the parish of Encamp. Inside, there is a mural by Àngel Calvente; outside, there is a totem with a black cat.

For children, the “Tracks and footprints” Macarulla trail in Els Cortals d’Encamp, in the wider destination of Encamp, is designed with games and activities that introduce them to walking and the native wildlife of the Principality. Other discoveries lead to history and architecture: the church of Sant Romà de les Bons is part of the Les Bons medieval historic site, which comprises several buildings. The Molí del Guillem mill dates back to the 16th century and is located in the Tremat area.

Another bike ride in Encamp is the linear MTB route 29. It starts at the top of the Funicamp and descends to Encamp along the La Plana path. Given the terrain and trail conditions, it is recommended for enduro bikes and experienced riders. The routes therefore differ not only in their destinations, but also in the types of bikes and riders they are described as suitable for.
