Hotel Sporting is one of those Pas de la Casa hotels that makes ski days feel easy. It is right in the heart of resort and very close to the Grandvalira lifts, so you can get onto the mountain without much effort and still have the bars, shops and atmosphere of Pas right on your doorstep. Inside, it has a smarter, more modern feel than many traditional ski bases, which gives it a slightly more polished edge while still feeling warm and welcoming.

The rooms are a real plus here, with a good spread of options from comfortable doubles through to family rooms and suites. Across the range, the style is modern and well finished, with heating, free WiFi, international TV channels, a safe, hairdryer, bathrobe and slippers, so it works well for couples, friends and families who want a bit more comfort built into their ski base.

Food is nicely covered too, with buffet breakfast and dinner served at the hotel, making it an easy option for guests who want everything under one roof. There is also a bar on the ground floor next to reception, which gives you a relaxed spot for a coffee, aperitif or drink later on without needing to head straight back out into the cold.

Why guests like it:

Guests like Hotel Sporting because it gives you the convenience of a very central Pas de la Casa location, but with a slightly more stylish and comfortable feel than a lot of standard ski hotels. The spa is a big part of the appeal too, especially as it is included for hotel guests, so it adds a really nice extra at the end of the ski day rather than feeling like an add-on you have to think twice about.

Good to know:

The spa is included for hotel guests and includes a Turkish bath, sauna, hot tub, hydromassage showers and loungers. It is for guests aged 14 and over only. Family Rooms are available for up to four people, so it is a good option for families wanting to stay together in one room
