La Vuelta 2026 comes through Pas de la Casa: time and route
This Tuesday, 25 August, Pas de la Casa changes pace for a few hours. First comes the publicity caravan; then the peloton, team cars and a full mountain stage raced through Andorra, starting and finishing in Andorra la Vella.
And this time you do not need to travel across the country to see it. The Vuelta a España Andorra 2026 route comes directly through Pas de la Casa, shortly after the riders crest the Port d’Envalira. The official timetable expects the peloton between 3:41 pm and 3:47 pm

Stage four is a 104.8 km mountain stage held entirely on Andorran roads. From Andorra la Vella, the riders climb through Encamp, Canillo, El Tarter and Soldeu before reaching the Port d’Envalira, a first-category climb.
The summit comes at kilometre 25.1. Just a few kilometres later, at km 29.9, the route reaches Pas de la Casa.
The official timetable gives three possible passing times depending on race speed: 3:41 pm, 3:44 pm or 3:47 pm. The publicity caravan is expected much earlier, at around 2:14 pm.
The race then briefly enters France, returns to Andorra and goes through the Envalira tunnel before descending towards Soldeu, Canillo and Encamp. Later come the Collada de Beixalís, Coll d’Ordino and La Comella before the finish back in Andorra la Vella.
What time can you see La Vuelta in Pas de la Casa?
These are the times worth keeping:
Publicity caravan: around 2:14 pm
Peloton: between 3:41 pm and 3:47 pm
This is not a day to plan on driving in five minutes before the riders arrive. Visit Andorra warns of traffic disruption along the stage route, as well as restrictions around the start and finish areas. Timings can also change depending on how the race develops.
If you are travelling today, check Mobilitat before setting off and leave plenty of time. If you are already in Pas de la Casa, the plan is simpler: find a safe viewing point early and let the race come to you.
104.8 kilometres that are tougher than they look
The Port d’Envalira begins a day featuring three first-category climbs. The Collada de Beixalís and Coll d’Ordino follow later, with third-category La Comella providing the final classified climb before the finish in Andorra la Vella.
For a few hours, the roads that lead towards the Grandvalira ski areas in winter will sound completely different. No ski boots or lifts today: just gears clicking, bikes climbing up from Soldeu and spectators waiting beside the tarmac.
In Pas de la Casa, we are used to looking up at the mountains. On 25 August, there is a good reason to look down at the road too.
