| Good For... |
|
 |

| Huge ski area and a brilliant place to learn to ski. Beginners and Intermediates are both well catered for. |
|
|
| Not So Good For... |
|
 |
|
| Experts & Advanced skiers probably will be bored easily. There is a lot of traffic in the village. There's not a lot of resort charm. |

| About The Resort.. |
|
 |
|
|
 Encamp is linked directly to the Grau Roig skiing fields (Pas de la Casa, Gran Roug, Soldeu, El Tarter, and Encamp) Pas de La Casa , which in turn links up to Soldeu and El Tarter. It is a very relaxed resort and is ideally suited to families especially those on a budget. Beginners and intermediates will enjoy themselves in Encamp. Encamp itself is a the end of the GrandValira and you will have to tak the gondola home at he end of the day. |
|
| About The Mountain |
|
 |
|
|
 The local slopes are on the open mountains above the woods and there is a brand new gondola. Most of the time you can ski back down to the village at the end of the day. There are lots of areas for beginners and the mountain links into the other resorts of the Gran Valira. Much investment has been made to link these fields. Maybe limited excitement for advanced skiers but intermediates will enjoy a varied day.
 BeginnersThere is some great terrain for beginners to start and then develop thier skiing and kids will love the Disney Run at the top of the El Tarter Gondola.

 Take your sandwiches!!! Ok so you have to eat and lets start with the good point. You notice I didn't say points - well prices are cheap. At the top of the gondolas we tend to meet food of various standards with queues to match.
Last time we at Snowbrainer went we liked the Llac des Pessons (T: 75 9015) which as table service, great views and decent food. Try the meat specialities.
Roc de les Bruixes (T: 89 0696) - up there at 2000m this is a hut that also offers a Friday and Saturday dinner seating. You need to access it by the Canillo gondola and then 100m walk along a torchlit track. |
