Grandvalira Resorts stations will offer 91 skiable kilometers during the Puríssima holiday.The precipitation last Friday and the low temperatures in recent days, which have facilitated the production of snow, along with the exhaustive work of the technical teams on the ground, have allowed the Andorran domains to confirm the opening for this Tuesday, December 5. Thus, tomorrow Ordino Arcalís and the Pas de la Casa sector of Grandvalira will open partially, while from this Wednesday, December 6, the offer will be expanded with the start-up of the rest of the sectors and the Pal Arinsal station. 

The Pas de la Casa sector of Grandvalira will kick off the season tomorrow with the start-up of the TSD4 Pas de la Casa, providing access to the Directa slope. For this first day of partial opening, there will be a special price of the day pass for 36 euros, which can only be purchased at the sector's ticket offices. From Wednesday, the skiable area will be expanded with the opening of the Soldeu, El Tarter, Canillo, Grau Roig, and Encamp sectors of Grandvalira. In total, the station will offer 53 skiable kilometers, with 35 slopes and 34 operational ski lifts, including the cable cars of Soldeu, El Tarter, Canillo, and the Funicamp. The connection between the sectors can be made by a bus line that the station will provide free of charge for all those who have any type of Grandvalira pass. The Canillo sector will have a limited capacity of 500 beginner skiers as well as visitors who want to enjoy the Mon(t) Magic family park.
