Guide to Enkamp

Virtual tour of Encampment

Encamp is located 7 kilometers from Andorra's capital Andorra la Vella. The Funicamp telecabin takes the athletes staying here to the top of Collada D'Enradort (2506 meters above sea level) in 15 minutes. Further, it is possible, by means of the developed network of elevators, to reach the skiing area Pas de la Casa-Grau Roig.

Pas de la Casa-Grau Roig is the largest ski resort in the Principality. It is located near the border with France, famous for its various groomed pistes (6 green, 13 blue, 16 red, and 12 black), as well as modern elevators. In the upper part of the valley are concentrated difficult slopes with a high altitude difference, designed for pros. In the lower part of the slopes, there are slalom and half-pipe slopes, boarder-cross areas, and a children's zone. Lovers of riding through the forest choose the Grau Roig valley for this purpose, where it is practically deserted and relatively safe. For fans of freestyle skiing, there are three fan parks: Peretol, Xavi, and Isard.

Back in Encamp after a day on the slopes, you can visit the indoor pool or sauna, play tennis, squash, basketball, soccer, or volleyball. All this awaits you at the Encamp Multisports Center.

Travel budget

Flight ticket prices

The Principality of Andorra does not have its own airport, so tourists arrive in nearby cities in France and Spain. The most popular destination among the guests of Encamp is El Prat (Barcelona). Direct flights from a major Eastern European city are available with airlines like UIA and Iberia. The journey takes about three and a half hours, and round-trip tickets cost 300-500 EUR.

The best hotels in Enkamp

Encampa has both budget apartments and luxury 4* hotels located near the ski elevators. Among budget accommodation (from 50 to 100 EUR per night for two people), Alfa, Oros, Arbre De Neu and La Solana Apartaments are particularly popular. A standard double room in one of the best hotels of the resort (Aparthotel Shusski or Hotel Paris) will cost you from 200 to 500 EUR per day. Some tourists prefer to settle in Andorra la Vella, 7 kilometers from Encamp.

The cost of vacation

The lion's share of your vacation budget will be transportation costs - plane tickets to one of the airports in France or Spain, and payment for the subsequent transfer to Andorra. If you need to save money, first of all try to reduce them. You can do this by varying the route and dates of the trip, as well as starting to plan well in advance. It is also worth choosing and booking accommodation as early as possible, because inexpensive options in season are consistently in high demand.
