- By car
From Spain, there are two main access roads, the C145 from Lleida or the C16 from Puigcerda and the Cadi tunnel. La Seu d'Urgell is just 30 km from the first access point to the Grandvalira ski area in Encamp. From France access is via the N22. This road leads directly to Pas de la Casa, which is right on the French border. From the slopes in Pas de la Casa you have direct access to the entire Grandvalira ski area, or if you prefer, you can continue by road through the Envalira Tunnel, then along the CG2 to the car parks in the other main sectors of Grau Roig, Soldeu, El Tarter and Canillo.
