Llegamos al Grau Roig nuestro último destino de Andorra en estas vacaciones 2022.

Pero que no decaiga la alegría, la Libélula Rutera seguirá ruteando por la carretera y por las montañas 🏔 de todo el mundo 🌍 mientras podamos calzarnos las botas 🥾🥾🐾🐾🐾 🥾🥾 #andorra #andorrapaisdelospirineos #andorralovers #senderismos #senderismodemontaña #senderismorural #misperros #misperrosyyo #misperrosmifamilia #misperrosmivida #viajarenautocaravanaconperros #travelblogger #campingcars #camperlive #naturalezapura #vida #viajarenautocaravana #traveltheworld #campincarlife #grauroig #vacaciones #vacaciones2022 #elgrauroig #felicidad #emocion #emociones #emocionesysentimientos #grauroigandorra #aventuras #encamp (en Grau Roig) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChppDjFoW3W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another sore ski World Cup in the books for @may_philippe. With really tough competition as well as variable weather, Fifi finished 6th with the top 6 men within almost the same kilometer. What an amazing day 🥰 🎿 #grauroig #grandvalira #andorra #speedskiworldcup #speedski #speedskiworldcupandorra https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbzi_nVrRxc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Snowy slopes at Pas de la Casa

Let’s take a quick jump back in time – to Christmas 2015, which I spent at Milford Sound in New Zealand. My boss back then didn’t want me to spend Christmas on my own, so he put me up with the lodgies from Mitre Peak Lodge. It was a crazy and fun bunch of people and we ended up having a lot of fun that night and during all the other parties and cozy evenings at Milford that followed the months after. Stepping into a group of total strangers is almost never the most comfortable thing, but there was the lovely Claire who worked at the lodge and just was the most welcoming person ever. We stayed in touch since, and this winter she invited me to come over to Andorra for a visit and to get some skis on. That wasn’t a hard one to think about so a few weeks ago I got on a plane to sunny Barcelona and took a bus on to snowy Andorra.

The further we drove, the better the mountains looked. Eventually we got over a high snowy mountainpass and we looked down on a little town that definitely wouldn’t win a prize in a beauty contest; Pas de la Casa. The atmosphere in town turned out to be so good though, that soon I didn't see the less-pretty things of the town anymore (although I might have kept a better eye on that less-pretty thing called dog poo). Claire works in a rental shop next to the slopes there, Ski Pas 83, which is the cosiest and most chilled out shop I have ever been to. If you’ll ever go to Pas de la Casa, you should definitely get your kit there and Claire and the guys will give you the best advice! She came to pick me up and we headed out to her apartment for some quick dinner and some wine before meeting her mates in a bar in town. That night I learned how to blame everything on the altitude that Pas de la Casa is at, including the speed with which a pint suddenly hits you and the awfulness of the hangover the next day.

That hangover disappeared pretty quickly the next morning when Claire dragged me out for my first ski lesson. The fact that I struggled to ski straight down a half meter-hill onto a moving “carpet” didn't make me feel more comfortable about those slopes that were definitely higher than half a meter, but at least we had made a start. I snow-ploughed my way down our first, basically flat slope whilst Claire was shouting instructions at me. Up again, this time with a rope that would drag us up as we were holding on to it. That was another good display of my absolute clumsy-ness, up to a point where Claire both had to hold my poles and literally push my butt towards that slope. Getting that rope up was a pretty harsh strain on the arms though, so after a few rounds we decided it was time to hit the skilifts and some blue slopes for the rest of the day. I definitely did not have the perfect technique, especially with my bum sticking out - and with Claire throwing snow balls at me every time I took that not-so flattering position. But all in all a great first day of skiing. No quiet night at home afterwards though. One of the guys, Barney, was playing in a hotel some valleys down the road that night. Great music, followed by a pretty chaotic ride home through the mountains - such a fun night!

Saturday was a pretty cloudy day, and we ended up in a snow cloud as we took a lift higher up and skied down the other side of the mountain, into Grau Roig. So much patience from Claire as I skied down the steeper parts of that slope at absolute turtle-speed. Pretty happy to make it back to Pas in one piece a few hours later; time for some hours at the pool and then a cozy movie night back at Claire's apartment.

Sunday was Claires first day off, but the weather didn't look to good up the mountain. That plus some pretty sore knees made us decide to stay low and to do some cross country skiing in Grau Roig instead. Not that those long, thin skies made me any less clumsy though - it only took a little bit of a downhill gradient before I ended face down in the snow, unable to get myself up again. We worked our way down the trail with the occasional crash- luckily just missing the huskypoo lying on the trail at an inch every time.

After that day, every day was about skiing down the slopes in the area, trying to get as far away from Pas as possible.  We didn’t get that far on Monday though, where Claire and I skied down to Grau Roig and my blood sugar hit rock bottom about halfway down - even a good lunch couldn't save me anymore there so we just headed back to Pas after that a bought a good amount of muesli bars to bring along the next days. The real difference came when Chris gave me some lessons and took me down my first red slope and then up and down the next mountain – thanks so much for your tips Chris!

Thursday was unfortunately my last day of skiing – but it was also an amazing one. Claire and I went on a mission that brought us further on the slopes than ever. After our pizza-lunch at a beautifully frozen lake in the mountains Claire had to get back to the shop so she raced of on her snowboard as I was heading away from Pas again. Everything was going so well – the mountains were beautiful, the weather was perfect again and the slopes were pretty quiet – until I had to get off one of the skilifts and nearly skied into a little hut whilst trying to avoid a snowboarder that had stranded right after that lift. Just one of those typical times where you whished you would have been just a little bit more concentrated at that second. My knee gave a nice cracking noise and I was in a bundle up against that hut. Definitely didn’t want to end up on one of those rescue-sledges though, so I thought the most important thing was to keep moving down towards Pas before my knee would stiffen up too much. Actually had another nice three, four runs down to Pas before ending up on the couch in the shop. So happy though that it didn’t happen on my first day of skiing, and that nothing worse happened. That night me and Claire had our last night out together, which was just as fun as all the other days and nights we had gone out in Pas that week. After a slow Fridaymorning, we had some lunch together, but eventually had to say goodbye when her dad came to pick her up. And then there was just the evening left! Another one of Barneys amazing concerts, and this time he got all of us transported in a good old fan-bus. Coming back to Pas, we had another few beers before I curled up on the sofa for one last night there. Just a few hours of sleep there before I had to catch the bus back to Barcelona.

Thanks Claire for having me over and for the amazing times – hope to see you there again next year and we’ll head even further over the mountains! And also to the other guys at Pas and from Ski Pas 83, I had the best time with all of you and can’t wait to do it all over again. Next adventure: climbing in Chamonix with Cyp and Karan!

First few minutes on the slopes!
