Grandvalira  is the largest ski area in Andorra and is made up of six resorts, Canillo, Pas de la Casa, Soldeu, El Tarter, Encamp and Grau Roig.

Each resort does different things to help the environment and the ski area as a whole works to make sure visitors know how to minimise their environmental impact with their Go Green campaign. Grandvalira also holds an ISO 14001 certification which means it conforms to worldwide preservation and ecological energy standards.

The resort cordons off certain areas of the mountain to allow its natural wildlife to thrive with no disturbance from skiers and snowboarders, especially nesting areas of the native wood grouse, which is in danger of extinction.

Furthermore, all new buildings in the resort are designed to reduce water wastage, along with new eco-bathrooms which regenerate 80% of water used.
