Pas de la Casa
In the last decade or so the tiny mountain principality of
Andorra, atop the Pyrenees between France and Spain, has become a
world favourite for winter sports enthusiasts, helped along by its
good snow, sunny clear weather and duty-free status. Another plus
is the fact that the tiny country's mountain resorts are just a
short hop (109 miles or 175km) from Barcelona International
Airport, and close to the French border.
Pick of the Andorra holiday resorts is Pas de la Casa, the
highest of the bunch with the largest skiing area, well-served by a
hi-tech lift system which has been linked to the nearby Soldeu
resort, providing about 116 miles (186km) of pistes suited to all
levels of skiers and snowboarders. Snow conditions here are
excellent, well maintained with top-notch snowmaking, and the
resort rarely closes before April. Pas de la Casa, or 'Pas' as it
is fondly known by loyal regulars, can hardly be described as
picturesque, consisting mainly of modern, unattractive box-like
apartment blocks and hotels, but all the accommodation and
facilities are conveniently situated for the slopes and provide all
the trappings necessary for a rollicking winter holiday at
affordable prices.
