Skiing in Andorra: the main ski areas, the season and the budget

The short answer

Skiing is organised around two main areas: one in the east (Canillo and Encamp) and the other in the north-west (La Massana and Ordino). Choosing your parish according to the ski area you use is an everyday-life criterion.

The ski areas

  • In the east, a large ski area links several resorts in the parishes of Canillo and Encamp.
  • In the north-west, a ski area groups resorts in La Massana and Ordino.

For a resident

Annual passes, equipment, vehicle maintenance, clothing: include them in your budget.

The ski areas and their figures

Grandvalira Resorts Andorra groups three ski areas: Grandvalira (in Canillo and Encamp), Pal Arinsal (La Massana) and Ordino Arcalís (Ordino). The group announces 308 kmverified on 12/10/2026 of slopes in total for the 2025-2026 season, a figure from the operator. Third-party guides often count about 210 kilometres for Grandvalira alone, about 63 for Pal Arinsal and about 30 for Ordino Arcalís.

Season passes for 2026-2027

According to the group's season pass sales page, the Andorra Pass (access to the three ski areas) costs 539 euros for an Andorran resident and 1,019 euros for a non-resident, until 9 December; the Nord Pass (two ski areas) costs 329 and 788 euros. During the early-bird sales period, which ended on 30 June, the Andorra Pass was 476 and 885 euros. A loyalty discount and payment in three instalments are available.

These prices change each season: check them on the official website before buying. We do not publish day-pass prices for lack of a clear official source for 2026-2027.

The gap between residents and non-residents

A resident's season pass is markedly cheaper than a non-resident's: this is a budget item for a family of skiers hesitating between a main and a second residence.
