Pic Maia Mountain Hotel: High-Altitude Retreat
Experience the Andorran Pyrenees from one of Europe's highest hotels, offering ski-to-door access and stunning mountain views.
The Pic Maia Mountain Hotel, located at 2,408 meters on the Envalira pass, is one of the highest hotels in Europe. Situated just outside the bustling town of Pas de la Casa, it provides breathtaking views of the Andorran peaks and convenient access to the Grandvalira ski resort. The hotel offers a range of amenities, including comfortable rooms, a restaurant serving buffet-style meals, and a sky bar with billiards. Guests can enjoy ski-to-door access, making it easy to hit the slopes. The hotel's location provides a tranquil escape from the lively town center, while still being close enough to enjoy Pas de la Casa's shops, restaurants, and nightlife.
