Grandvalira Resorts Sees 4% Visitor Rise in Summer Season

Grandvalira Resorts has closed its summer season with a 4% rise in visitors across its stations compared to last year. Favourable weather, with fewer rainy days, combined with strong uptake of new attractions and established family, cycling, and mountain activities to drive the increase.

Ordino Arcalís led the sectors, welcoming over 60,000 visitors from 6 June to 13 September, matching last year's stable figures while boosting average spend per customer by 8.15%. The Mirador Solar de Tristaina remained a top draw, surpassing 520,000 visitors since its 2021 opening at Pic de Peyreguils; access stays open until 1 November. Grandvalira Mountain Guides activities, including solar mountain tours and August's solar eclipse event with over 250 attendees, saw robust demand. The Refugi de Sorteny recorded more than 1,500 overnight stays, up 10% from 2025.

In Canillo, Mon(t) Magic Family Park lifted both visitor numbers and average spend. New council-backed sites—the Laberint de Soldeu and Big Jump Park in El Tarter—attracted over 4,000 visitors combined in their debut summer. Soldeu saw gains at Golf Soldeu, with more club members and guests; the course remains open until 27 September.

Encamp's Funicamp served 13,208 users, a 1% gain overall and 7% excluding last year's boost from La Purito event at Cortals d'Encamp. The 8 September Meritxell Day peaked at 1,131 riders. Bus 4x4 tours exceeded 3,000 users, up over 10%, alongside over 1,000 visits to Orri del Cubil by late August, 500 children in catch-and-release fishing at Cubil lake, and 100 at Orri d'Encenrera—all run by Encamp's Tourism Department with Grandvalira. New features included the Petjades Enlairades sculpture and Les Petjades de l’Ossa family trail, issuing about 1,800 passports.

Grandvalira Bike Trails' 111km network for e-bikes and others grew in popularity across Canillo, Soldeu, El Tarter, Encamp, and Grau Roig, adding the family-friendly Cabirol Loop at Pla d’Espiolets, Molleres Loop at Forn de Canillo, and 6km Tamarro Flow Trail from Llosada to El Tarter base.

Pal Arinsal's cycling focus delivered a 3.4% Bike Park rise and 7.8% overall summer activity growth, aided by 2025's Bike World learning hub and Escola Bike training. It hosted the 11th Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series, drawing 26% more spectators than 2025 amid good weather, with the venue secured for the next three World Cup seasons. The Bike Park stays open weekends until 12 October.

The results underline Grandvalira Resorts' expanding year-round appeal, blending family fun, sports, and high-mountain exploration.
