Els Llacs Mountain Apartments, located just a few minutes from the slopes, brings you the latest news for the ski season at Grandvalira Resorts. This winter is packed with events we are already looking forward to and improvements to facilities that make Andorra one of Europe’s leading destinations for enjoying the snow.
Guaranteed snow and new amenities this season
The ski season at Grandvalira comes with significant improvements to the slopes and services that are already making themselves felt. One of the highlights is the reinforcement of the snowmaking systems, which guarantees higher quality and continuity of snow throughout the winter, weather permitting.
We were also struck by a very practical new feature: the new Mobile Pass. This is a digital ski pass that you can carry directly on your mobile phone. It is a convenient option and makes your arrival on the slopes even smoother.
Major sporting and musical events on the slopes
One of the biggest attractions of the ski season in Grandvalira is the international events that will be held in different areas of the resort. From our mountain apartments, it will be a luxury to have some of the most eagerly awaited competitions and festivals of the winter so close by.
• Women’s Alpine Skiing World Cup
From 28th February to 1st March 2026, the El Tarter sector will host one of the most important events on the calendar: the Audi FIS Ski World Cup. The downhill and super-G events will be held on the iconic Àliga slope. A unique opportunity to see the world’s best female skiers in action.
• First FIS Freeride World Championships in Ordino ArcalÃs
From 1 to 6 February, Ordino ArcalÃs will make history by hosting the first FIS Freeride World Championships. This discipline combines adrenaline, technique and pure snow. It will be a spectacle for lovers of the wildest skiing.
• Ski Mountaineering World Cup in Pal Arinsal
Between 24 and 26 January, the Arinsal sector will host a new edition of the Ski Mountaineering World Cup, bringing back the Vertical Race. As a new feature, the Sprint race will be introduced, an Olympic discipline that will make its debut a few weeks later at the Winter Games in Milan.
• Music festivals in the snow
The ski season in Grandvalira also moves to the rhythm of music. From 12 to 15 March, the eagerly awaited Snowrow returns, a festival that combines music, sport and a great atmosphere in Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig. And just one week later, from 20 to 22 March, Hibernation, the leading electronic music festival in the Pyrenees, arrives. Ideal for those looking to combine skiing and partying in spectacular surroundings.
New facilities, activities and sustainability
The resort has also unveiled important new infrastructure, such as a new ski lift in El Tarter, a multifunctional building in Pas de la Casa and an extension of the Eslálom ski lift in Soldeu. And for the little ones: the new Turbo Snow Explorers children’s circuit, a route with tunnels and entertainment in the El Tarter sector.
If adventure is your thing, you’ll love trying out new experiences such as the Grandvalira Tour, a guided tour of the slopes and their iconic spots, or the Pal Arinsal Bike Park, which remains open in winter, offering 16 km of circuits with a 700-metre elevation gain. A unique way to combine a passion for cycling with the ski season in Grandvalira.
Commitment to the environment
Another of this season’s pillars is sustainability. Grandvalira has launched a new photovoltaic park at Funicamp, which will enable it to achieve up to 16.5% self-produced energy. New charging points for electric vehicles have also been added, bringing the total to 119 spaces distributed across all Grandvalira Resorts stations.
