Along with Sauze d’Oulx in Italy, Pas de la Casa in Andorra has the reputation for being a party resort. There’s no doubt that if you want to party hard, Pas will fit the bill, but this ski town has grown up a lot in recent years.
Forming one half of the impressive Grandvalira ski area, Andorra’s highest resort is now home to a huge variety of après venues and the choice nightlife has something to suit everyone. Our essential guide will tell you the best places to party in your boots til dawn or to find a peaceful tavern and settle in with a good book…
The venue: You can’t miss this place as it looks like a UFO has crash landed on the top of a mountain! By day, this panoramic restaurant offers great food and some of the best views in the Grandvalira, but at 4pm, DJs turn it into the liveliest après bar on the slopes. Their tunes get people dancing on the terrace and spilling out on to the snow. Head to the front to get involved or just chill at the back with a beer. Ski or board down at closing time whilst enjoying some amazing views of Pas de la Casa
Where is it?You’ll find it at the top of TSD6 lift
The venue: This ski hire shop isn’t your average ski hire shop. Pas 83 is right next to the slopes and lifts and the liveliest ski hire and storage around. Book your kit storage here and you’ll get a free drink included every day! It’s perfect after a good day in the Grandvalira - enjoy a well-earned beer on the terrace before you head back to your hotel. They also play a mix of DJs and live music.
