PLANS FOR ACTIVE TRAVELLERS

If you like to make the most of every last second of your trip, Andorra has plenty for you. First, we have a range of sports activities. When the cold and snow are on the horizon, the country gets ready to welcome skiers, snowboarders and other snow lovers who know all about the quality of our slopes. You can find world-class slopes at Grandvalira, Ordino Arcalís and Pal Arinsal, or try out cross-country skiing in Naturland.

If you prefer walking, there is a huge variety of routes within your reach. There are trails in all the country’s parishes and for all experience levels, with spectacular panoramic views around every corner. In fact, much of the country is covered by three large nature parks: Vall del Sorteny, Valls del Comapedrosa and Madriu-Perafita-Claror. The latter has been named a World Heritage Site by Unesco in the cultural landscape category.

When it comes to leisure and culture, Andorra has all sorts to offer. The events calendar is packed throughout the year, even in autumn and winter. The country’s theatres and stages play host to the biggest acts, like Cirque du Soleil and internationally renowned music groups. Children’s festivals, film festivals, folk celebrations and dance performances are just some of the other events that might be taking place during your trip. Check the calendar!

And we must not forget the country’s museums and art exhibitions, which have helped Andorra to stand out as an attractive cultural destination. In fact, Andorra is the country with the most museums per capita in the world! Its museum offering includes the Carmen Thyssen Museum, with different exhibitions every season and pieces by the greatest universal masters. 

Of course, it goes without saying that going shopping is always a good option in Andorra. And you can do so almost every day of the year, as there are very few closed days in our commercial calendar. So, during your holiday or weekend break, make the most of all the shopping centres and shops available to you, with electronics, perfumes, cosmetics, fashion and much more at much lower prices than in France, Spain or any other country.
