Gausta has undergone significant changes in recent years. Gausta Ski Center has transformed from two competing resorts into one unified ski center, and we have made substantial investments to enhance the skiing experience.
We value all our guests and strive to meet their needs, but to ensure sustainable development over time, it will not be possible to have evening skiing in two areas. While we understand that this may be disappointing to some, we hope for your understanding of our decision.
By focusing evening skiing in one area, we can improve the overall quality of the experience. To make getting around easier, we have worked on enhancing the shuttle bus service, with increased capacity, real-time updates, and free transportation for all visitors.
To receive a ski pass in Andorra, you need to bring your passport/ID, season pass, and a completed form (available at Gausta Ski Rental) to one of the ticket counters in Andorra. Your ski pass will then be activated.
Buy Season Pass.
There is still plenty of snow at Gausta during Easter, perfect for skiing on the slopes and going on mountain tours.
Keep in mind that weather and conditions vary from year to year.
Please check in advance what documentation your employer requires. Usually, your receipt or booking confirmation will serve as valid proof.
Pre-book your Ski Pass here. Your Ski Pass will then be registered along with your name directly on the booking confirmation, which you can print out and use as documentation when applying for the subsidy.
If you purchase on-site, remember to request an original receipt with your name – we cannot print or adjust receipts afterward.
