The passes can be purchased through the online platform temporada.grandvaliraresorts.com. They can also be purchased in person and picked up at the Grandvalira Resorts stand located at the shopping centre at Illa Carlemany, Av. Carlemany, 68 in Escaldes-Engordany and at the ticket offices at the ski resorts in Grandvalira, Pal Arinsal and Ordino Arcalís, when they open for the day.

Please note: This season, extracurricular ski pass digital cards from the previous season cannot be topped up, as these are no longer valid. Only those who are already registered in the Grandvalira Resorts systems or who hold a season pass for Grandvalira, Pal Arinsal or Ordino Arcalís in the last two seasons can top their cards up.

How can I apply? You can request this during the current season and until April 7, 2024, via webform.

When does this apply? This will be applied in the event of an accident or illness preventing further skiing.

How does it work? The skied days will be charged at the price of the day ski pass at the ticket office. A voucher will be issued as compensation, to be exchanged for the 2024 – 2025 season, according to the customer’s use of the season ski pass during the current season.

How long are they valid? The compensation vouchers are valid for two seasons.

Compensation will not be made in case of skiing days after the date of the report.

Note: The reference price for the day's skiing will be the RRP price at the ticket office. For Andorra Pass Grandvalira will be the reference resort and for Nord Pass it will be Pal Arinsal.

Any access to the facilities with the season ski pass is considered a ski day.

In the case of reduced rates, compensation will be applied considering the type and amount initially paid for the Season Pass.

What should I do if the subsidised price is not applied on the website? 

Contact the school skiing service of the Ministry of Institutional Relations, Education and Universities at esqui_escolar@govern.ad and validate that the request has been received correctly and that your data is correct.

What steps should I complete before purchasing my ski pass?

Only students not enrolled at a university under the age of 20 can directly access the Grandvalira Resorts website to purchase the ski pass. Other students must first make a request to the Government of Andorra. Until the corresponding agreement is received, it will not be possible to buy the ski pass at a reduced price.

I've sent my request to the Government, but I haven't received an approval.

Check that you meet the requirements to apply for the subsidy. If you do, contact the Education department again and validate that your data has been received correctly.

What happens if I lose my season pass?

You will need to request a new one at the resort ticket office and pay €20.

If the loss occurred during the school ski day, the new pass will be free of charge upon prior authorisation from the Grandvalira Resorts Season Pass department.

What happens if my ski pass is revoked due to fraudulent use?

In case of fraudulent use, the ski pass will be withdrawn permanently and will not be returned under any circumstances. The school student, university student and/or companion will have to buy the season pass again at the corresponding price without Government subsidy.

Do I have any kind of benefit or discount at the resort with any of these passes?

No. The Extracurricular, University, and Companion passes do not include any kind of benefit or discount on available resort services such as dining, school, activities, etc.
