Andorra travel guide

Detractors will tell you that Andorra is all about skiing and shopping, but beyond the slopes and duty-free stores there's plenty of year-round fresh air and fun to be had

In summer, clamber up canyons around the town of Canillo, go ice-skating at Palau de Gel, potter around pretty mountain villages, cast a line in the river, wallow in thermal waters or hike along Andorra's many well-marked trails.

For skiers, Andorra offers the best in the Pyrennes. Starting from 2,600m, there are vertical drops of up to 1000m and runs of several kilometres over open slopes and groomed pistes. Beginners and experts are both well catered for and lift costs are low compared with the Alps.

Wanderlust recommends

  1. Have some ‘me, me, me!' time – Soak in the thermal waters of Caldea Escaldes,  Engordany, one of Europe’s largest spa complexes
  2. Discover the joys of a free lunch – The annual Esculdella on January 20th (Land of the Last Free Lunch)
  3. Take to the slopes – The snowfields of Grandvalira boast 192km of runs and a combined lift system
  4. Climb Andorra’s highest peak – The Pic de Coma Pedrosaå, perfect summer climb

Wanderlust tips

Before you start flashing the cash in Andorra's shops, check prices online and at home to be sure you're getting a bargain. Discounts aren't as good as they once were.

Andorra is the only country in the world to have Catalan as its official language and locals will love you if you try out the local lingo rather than relying on your school learnt French or Spanish.
