Andorra, the country of the Pyrenees

Skiing plays an important role in Andorra’s history and culture.

The sport has become an essential part of the lives of Andorrans, and there is a strong tradition of alpine and cross-country skiing. In addition, Andorra has hosted various ski competitions, such as the Alpine Ski World Cup and the Mountain Ski World Championships, which has contributed to its reputation as a winter sports destination. Skiing, in all its forms, continues to be a passion that is deeply rooted in the heart of Andorra, making a significant contribution to its identity as an alpine nation.

Grandvalira Resorts offer a wide variety of high-quality slopes and services, attracting skiers and snowboarders from all over the world during the winter season.

Andorra is a paradise for nature lovers. Of the country's total surface area of 468 km², only 8% is urbanized territory. The summer months are the perfect time to discover hiking trails and mountain paths; even the GR route allows you to explore the country and take advantage of mountain refuges to spend the night.

The Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the must-visit places for its landscapes, lakes, and diversity. Additionally, the country is part of other UNESCO projects such as the Ordino Biosphere Reserve. Without a doubt, it is a country with a lot of natural wealth and biodiversity that can be discovered on foot.

In addition to mountain sports and nature, Andorra is full of leisure activities. In the country's commercial hubs or in the historic center of the capital, you will find many options for bars and restaurants to take a break after a day of shopping. If relaxation is what you're looking for, the Caldea thermal spa, with 30,000 m², is one of the country's most well-known options.

During the summer months, it's not difficult to find events such as street entertainment or music. On the other hand, ski resorts take advantage of their facilities to offer outdoor family activities, mountain biking or e-bike circuits, as well as guided mountain excursions.

In the museums, you can discover the way of life of the Andorrans in the past, as well as understand the changes that the country has undergone throughout its history. The Ethnographic Museum Casa Cristo, the Casa d'Areny-Plandolit Museum, or the Casa de la Vall are some of the places you can visit to learn about the historical and political past and life in Andorra.

If you're interested in art, Andorra has an extensive representation of Romanesque art in good condition. Through the Romanesque Route, you can travel throughout the country visiting various works and architecture, especially Romanesque churches. During your visit, you may also find some temporary exhibitions of interest in one of the exhibition halls of the center, such as the Art Center of Escaldes-Engordany and also the Carmen Thyssen Museum.
