Soldeu Advanced
For those who fancy clocking up 193km in one day there is the new Explore Grandvalira tour itinerary which gives you the option to cover the whole ski area from Pas de la Casa to El Forn which passes through Soldeu.Conditions permitting there are also good opportunities
off-piste skiing from Pic D’Encampadana (black and red runs) but
getting to this is an effort. From Tossal de la Lossada take the
blue run Llosada to where the pistebasher will tow you across the
saddle to the Pic D’Encampadana. The alternative is to take three
lifts up from Canillo.
Three graded off-piste ski routes (2 red and 1 black) converge at
Riba Escorxada from which there is a snowshoe route down to El Forn
then take the TSD4 Portella ski lift back up to Portella and ski
down the blue run “daina” to start over again.
The Grau Roig sector is noted for its scenic mountain landscapes
and as one of the largest of the six sectors comprising Grandvalira
offers extensive off-piste skiing and boarding opportunities.
To find the best snow and the best off-piste opportunities in
Grandvalira, which is mostly given over to piste skiing, and to do
so safely you’ll need to hire a guide and be prepared to do some
skinning to get away from the main ski runs.
