Planner
Your first day: from landing to the hotel
Enter your landing time and your base. We add the time to get out of the airport with ski bags, the drive and a margin for snow or a changeover Saturday, and tell you whether you arrive in daylight and in time for an afternoon on the slopes.
- 11:30Your flight lands. Your driver is already tracking it.
- 12:10Bags, ski bags from the oversized belt and out to meet your driver (about 40 min).
- 3 h 24Drive of about 228 km to Pas de la Casa, without traffic.
- +20 minMargin for a changeover Saturday: arrivals and departures fill the border and the valley.
- 15:54At your door in Pas de la Casa.
- Sunset in Pas de la Casa that day: 17:22. You arrive in daylight.
- Too late to ski today: use the evening to collect your hire skis and lift pass, and start fresh at 9:00.
Planning estimates, not a timetable: we track your real flight and the time depends on the border, traffic and snow on the day.
The road
Envalira: the tunnel or the pass
Beyond Soldeu the CG-2 keeps climbing to the Port d’Envalira. Your driver takes the tunnel whenever weather or traffic advise it; the toll is part of the fixed price. It is the most exposed stretch of the trip: in a storm the authorities can restrict traffic or make chains or winter tyres compulsory, and your driver follows their instructions.
Do not be surprised by the time: the last 30 kilometres after the capital are mountain road, and on a snowy Saturday they can take as long as the motorway from Barcelona to Manresa.

Grau Roig
A ski resort without a village
Grau Roig is a handful of hotels at the foot of the slopes, with no town around them and no public transport in the evening. That is its charm for families and for skiers who want to be first on the lifts, and the reason why arriving by private transfer makes sense: there is no other easy way up with skis and suitcases.
Pas de la Casa
Groups, apartments and the French border
Pas de la Casa is the favourite of groups of friends and student trips: apartments, après-ski and shops. Groups travel together in vans of 8 or 14 seats, 22-seat minibuses or several vehicles that arrive at the same time; see ski groups.
We drop you in Pas de la Casa but we do not continue into France: our trips run between Spain and Andorra.
Skis, boots and suitcases
What vehicle do I need?
Count everyone and every bag. Ski bags, snowboards and big suitcases are one item each; two cabin bags or two boot bags count as one. The boot fills up as you add them, and the price comes live from our booking engine.
