Hotel Magic Pas

The Magic Pas sits right in the centre of town, close to the shops and legendary nightlife, perfect for making the most of everything the resort has to offer. It has excellent facilities and good sized rooms, plus it's just 200 metres from the ski lifts.

There's a bar and café with a pool table for when you're relaxing back at the hotel. The 24 hour reception means there's always someone around to help out if needs be. There are free ski lockers and a very convenient laundry service, and when it comes to working on tired muscles, head to the spa area with its sauna, hot tub, steam room and a small gym, just book an in advance at reception.

Legendary is the word to describe Pas. On the mountain you have the Grandvalira as your playground; 210km of wide-open, cruisy slopes with the added bonus of dedicated beginner areas, parks for freestyle and really accessible yet challenging off-piste. And at 2100m the snow is pretty reliable too.

Off the mountain it has the party hard reputation for a reason. The main strip is full of bars all with enthusiastic signs tempting you inside. The range of nightlife is completely varied so it is possible to have an all-nighter or simply a nice relaxed and chilled out evening.

A hot and cold buffet covers the half-board option at the Magic for both the breakfast and the evening meals. There's a wide variety of foods available so you'll be able to try something new every day. If you get hungry in between meals, the bar and café serve snacks to keep you going.

The Hotel Magic Pas has 97 rooms that happily sleep two to four people and come with two, three or four beds depending on your party size. All the rooms are equipped with everything you'd expect for a comfortable stay including a minibar, satellite TV and a bathroom with a bath and shower. You can also have a twin room for sole use if that's what you'd like. There is a charge for that, but just ask us when you come to book.
