Do I Need to Pay the Envalira Tunnel Toll? 2026 Update
The Envalira Tunnel is the only tolled road in Andorra. If you are travelling between Andorra la Vella and Pas de la Casa (or continuing into France via the CG-2), you will pass through it — unless you choose the free but exposed mountain route over the Envalira Pass (Port d'Envalira, 2,408 m).
Key Reality: The tunnel charges a flat one-way toll of €8.10 for cars and €4.80 for motorcycles. The pass road above it is free but is frequently closed in winter and is significantly slower year-round. For most drivers the tunnel is the practical default.
2026 Update: Rates published on the official operator website (tuneldenvalira.com) are in force; no increase has been announced for 2026. Payment by card is accepted at all staffed lanes. Registered companies and frequent operators can request invoicing via the client portal.
Andorra Envalira Tunnel Toll Costs: Current Rates
The Envalira Tunnel uses a flat-rate tolling system. Rates are fixed per vehicle category regardless of direction of travel. A hazardous goods supplement of €10.00 applies on top of the base toll for ADR-classified loads.

About the Tunnel
The Túnel d'Envalira is the highest road tunnel in Europe, located at an altitude of approximately 2,080 metres. It is 2.8 km long and was inaugurated in 2002 to provide a reliable all-weather route between the central Andorran valleys and the ski resort area of Pas de la Casa near the French border. The free alternative — the mountain pass road (CG-2 via Port d'Envalira at 2,408 m) — is typically open only from June to October and is closed without warning during snowfall.
How to Pay the Envalira Tunnel Toll
Payment is made at staffed toll booths located at the tunnel entrance. There is no electronic tag system or pre-registration requirement.
Accepted Payment Methods:
- Cash (Euro): Accepted at all lanes. Andorra uses the Euro as its currency despite not being an EU member. Change is given in Euro.
- Credit and Debit Cards: Visa and Mastercard are accepted at all staffed booths. Contactless payment is available.
- Invoice / Client Account: Registered frequent users (companies, operators) can request invoicing via the operator's client portal at tuneldenvalira.com.

Enforcement and Penalties
The Envalira Tunnel uses a staffed toll-booth system, so payment is collected before the vehicle enters the tunnel. There is no post-passage invoice or automated enforcement for missed payment in the way that cashless systems operate.
- Entry refusal: Vehicles that do not pay at the booth barrier are not admitted. Barriers open only after payment is confirmed.
- Fraudulent use of resident exemption: Using a resident card that does not belong to the driver or vehicle is a traffic offence under Andorran law and may result in a fine and confiscation of the card.
- Incorrect vehicle class declaration: Declaring a lower class than the vehicle actually belongs to in order to underpay is an infraction subject to fines.
- Tunnel regulations: Speed limit inside the tunnel is 60 km/h. Overtaking, stopping, and reversing are prohibited. Violation of tunnel traffic rules is enforceable by the Cos de Policia d'Andorra.
Recent Changes (2026)
Rates: Toll tariffs have remained stable. No increase has been announced or implemented for 2026. The current rate structure (€3.00 for cars, €6.00 for heavy vehicles and buses) has been in place since the last official revision.
Payment technology: Card payment, including contactless, remains available at all booths following upgrades completed in recent years. No electronic free-flow tolling system is planned.
Border and customs context: Andorra is not a member of the European Union or the Schengen Area. Travellers crossing from France or Spain into Andorra, and departing Andorra, pass through customs checkpoints separate from the toll booth. Shopping and fuel price differences between Andorra and neighbouring countries continue to drive significant cross-border traffic through the tunnel.
Planning Your Journey
Cost Considerations:
- Car trip Andorra la Vella to Pas de la Casa (one-way): €8.10
- Motorcycle one-way passage: €4.80
- Van or vehicle with trailer (height 2–3 m): €14.20
- Coach or HGV (2 axles, over 3.5 t or over 3 m): €16.30
- HGV with 3 or more axles: €20.30
- Vehicles carrying hazardous goods (ADR): base toll + €10.00 supplement
Toll-Free Alternative:
- The mountain pass road over Port d'Envalira (CG-2) is free but typically open only June–October.
- In winter and during spring/autumn snowfall the pass may close at short notice, leaving the tunnel as the only option.
- The pass adds approximately 15–20 minutes to the journey compared to the tunnel.
Border Crossings and Customs:
- Andorra shares borders with France (northeast, via Pas de la Casa on the CG-2) and Spain (southwest).
- Customs checks apply at both borders. Tobacco, alcohol, and goods duty-free limits are enforced.
- Andorran roads do not require a vignette. The Envalira Tunnel is the only toll point.
- French roads beyond the border use a separate tolling system — see France Toll Guide.
- Spanish roads beyond the border use a separate tolling system — see Spain Toll Guide.
Ski Season Traffic:
- The Grandvalira ski area (including Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig) is accessible via the CG-2 through the tunnel. This is the largest ski resort in the Pyrenees.
- Expect queues at the tunnel booth on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons during ski season (December–April).
- Arrive early or mid-week to avoid congestion at both the toll and the French border customs post.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Andorra have more than one toll road?
No. The Envalira Tunnel is the only toll road in Andorra. All other roads in the country, including main national roads (CG-1 connecting Spain to Andorra la Vella, and local parish roads), are toll-free.
Can I pay by card at the Envalira Tunnel?
Yes. Credit and debit cards are accepted at all staffed lanes, including contactless. Always carry some Euro cash as a backup for any payment terminal issues.
Are there any discounts available for the Envalira Tunnel?
The operator publishes a discounts section at tuneldenvalira.com/en/discounts. Discount schemes may apply to registered companies and regular commercial users. Check the official site for current promotional offers and eligibility criteria, as these change periodically.
What is the height and weight limit for the Envalira Tunnel?
Standard road vehicle height and weight regulations apply. Oversize loads require a special permit from the Andorran authorities in advance. The tunnel is open to HGVs and coaches at the Class 4/5 rate of €6.00 per passage.
Do I need a vignette or any other pass to drive in Andorra?
No. Andorra does not use a road vignette system. The Envalira Tunnel toll is the only road charge in the country. No motorway sticker, electronic tag, or pre-registration is required.
Is the Envalira pass road really free?
Yes, the open-air CG-2 pass road over Port d'Envalira is free of charge. However, it is subject to seasonal closure (typically November through May or even June depending on snow conditions) and is not a reliable all-weather alternative for most visitors.
What currency should I use at the toll booth?
The Euro (EUR) is the currency of Andorra and the only accepted currency at the toll booth. Andorra adopted the Euro informally and, since a 2011 monetary agreement with the EU, uses it as its official currency. No other currency is accepted.
