Andorra Travel Guide - Top Things To Do

 

 


• Explore the capital, Andorra la Vella. Lying at the junction of two mountain streams, sights include a fine 12th-century church and the Casa de la Vall, the ancient seat of government.

• Relax in the spa town of Escaldes-Engordany, adjoining the capital. More examples of Romanesque architecture await alongside soaks in the hot springs.

• Enjoy the colourful Andorran local festival in early September, in honour of the Virgin of Meritxell.

• Go skiing (website: www.skiandorra.ad) at one of Andorra's many resorts. The main centre is Soldeu (website: www.soldeuonline.com). Other ski centres can be found at Pas de la Casa-Grau Roig, on the French frontier, and at Ordino-Arcalis and Arinsal-Pal, all north of Andorra la Vella.

• Try cross-country skiing in the resort of La Rabassa.

Hike in the mountains amongst rivers, lakes and pretty countryside. Easier strolls include the Camí Ral d'Ordino in the La Cortinada parish and Camí de les Pardines in Encamp.

• Get active - visitors to Andorra can enjoy horse riding, cycling, tennis, swimming, trout fishing, rock climbing and clay-pigeon shooting.
