Habitat Calgary '88

The Resort and Its Setting

Habitat Calgary '88 is an independent timeshare property in Pas de la Casa, Andorra, affiliated with RCI for exchange purposes. Sitting at roughly 2,244 metres above sea level, Pas de la Casa is one of the highest towns in the Pyrenees, which means reliable snow in winter and cool, clear air in summer. As an independent resort rather than part of a large international chain, Habitat Calgary '88 has its own character and is run day-to-day through its own owners' association or management company rather than a branded head office.

The Area and Things to Do

Pas de la Casa is Andorra's gateway town from the French side, and it has long been a base for skiers and mountain travellers crossing between France and the principality. Within easy driving distance are some of Andorra's best-known ski areas: Grau Roig and the Soldeu-El Tarter complex, Andorra's largest, are both around half an hour away, with Ordino-Arcalís a little further on. Andorra la Vella, the capital, is about 40 km away and worth the trip for shopping, dining and its mix of cultural and administrative sights. Hikers can head for Coma Pedrosa, the country's highest peak, for some of the most dramatic Pyrenean views around. Outside the ski season, the same roads and trails open up for mountain biking and walking, making this a genuine two-season destination rather than a winter-only resort.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Habitat Calgary '88 can list it for private resale or rent on BidMyTimeshare.com. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise. Because Habitat Calgary '88 is an independent resort, resale is handled through the property's own owners' association or management rather than a branded resale desk, so before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these vary and should be confirmed directly rather than assumed. Also check whether the resort or association holds any right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process, as this affects how quickly a buyer can take ownership. A resale buyer normally takes on the week itself and the right to use RCI for exchanges, but will not inherit any loyalty perks or promotions tied to the original purchase — worth being upfront about when listing.

What Renters Look For

Renters coming to Pas de la Casa are typically after ski-season access or a summer hiking base at altitude, so being clear about which week or season you're offering, and how close it falls to peak snow conditions, will help your listing stand out. Mentioning the RCI affiliation is also useful for exchangers who may be considering the resort as a trade rather than a straight rental.

Practical Notes

Pas de la Casa's elevation means weather can shift quickly, so pack for genuine mountain conditions whatever the season. The town's border position means trips into France or Spain are straightforward but do involve a border crossing, so it's worth checking entry requirements in advance. Catalan is Andorra's official language, though French and Spanish are both widely understood. A rental car gives the most flexibility for reaching the ski areas and Andorra la Vella, and winter mountain driving should be approached with care.
