Pas de la Casa, Encamp
Pas de la Casa is one of the most unique and vibrant destinations in Andorra. Located at 2,080 meters above sea level right on the French border, this village in the parish of Encamp is much more than a border crossing—it's a true hub of snow, shopping, energy, and entertainment.
Snow paradise for winter lovers
With direct access to Grandvalira, the largest ski area in the Pyrenees, Pas de la Casa is a white paradise for ski and snowboard enthusiasts. Its slopes often boast some of the best snow in the country due to their altitude and orientation, with options for all skill levels. Ski schools, beginner zones, and on-site services make it ideal for families and groups.
Shopping heaven
Pas is also known for its thriving commercial activity. Perfumeries, electronics, sportswear, groceries, spirits—its wide range of shops and competitive prices, especially attractive to French visitors, make it a top shopping destination. Shops remain open even on Sundays and holidays.
Food and après-ski
The village offers a broad culinary selection, from traditional mountain food to international dishes. The après-ski atmosphere is vibrant, with tapas bars, pubs, and nightclubs making evenings lively—especially for a younger crowd.
Summer in the high mountains
When the snow melts, the landscape transforms into a perfect setting for hiking, cycling, and exploring high-mountain lakes. The easy access via the Envalira pass makes it a great starting point for routes like the Incles Valley or the Pessons glacial cirque.
A history shaped by trade
Pas de la Casa has a short but dynamic history. Developed with the road to France and the opening of border commerce, it has grown into a strategic economic and tourist center. Today it retains that frontier spirit of energy and opportunity.
A different kind of Andorra
Pas is unlike anywhere else in the country: its functional architecture, dynamic pace, cultural blend, and tourism-driven focus give it a character all its own. It represents the energetic, commercial, snowy side of Andorra.
Winter or summer, if you're seeking action, services, nature, and a cosmopolitan vibe, Pas de la Casa welcomes you with open arms.
