Peretol Ski: A Beginner's Paradise in Grandvalira

Peretol Ski, nestled in the Canillo parish of Andorra, is a recent and quieter addition to the expansive Grandvalira ski resort, the largest in the Pyrenees. Since opening in the 2019-2020 season, Peretol has become a favorite for beginners and families, offering a more relaxed atmosphere compared to other sectors. Its wide, well-groomed slopes are ideal for those new to winter sports, while the more advanced can enjoy the 'Avet' black slope, previously part of the Women's Alpine Skiing World Cup. One of Peretol's standout features is the Sunset Park Henrik Harlaut, the only snow park in the Pyrenees open in the evenings. From Tuesday to Sunday, skiers and snowboarders can ride under the lights from 3 pm to 9 pm. The park features a variety of obstacles for freestyle and jib skiing, attracting both seasoned pros and those looking to try something new. To access Peretol, visitors can drive via the CG-2 main road or the CS-240 route from Soldeu. A free shuttle service is available for those staying in Bordes d'Envalira. The Pla de les Pedres chairlift, the longest in Andorra, provides access to Solanelles, the upper section of the Encamp region. At the base of the sector, you'll find an equipment rental shop, ski and snowboard school, a ticket office, and the 1960 bar.
