5 activities in Andorra in winter

Andorra in winter is one of the most snowy places in the Pyrenees. A fantastic little family country where it makes good living.

L’ Andorra is a destination that you don’t necessarily think about to spend winter or even summer in the mountains. Yet the great ski areas of the country are perfect places to relax, ski and enjoy the mountain with family or friends. If you think about skiing, it is not the only possible activity in Andorra far from there. During a ski stay in Andorra, you can of course go shopping (prices are very advantageous compared to France) or visit the surrounding mountains villages. But what is there to do outside this? Here are some activities for your winter holiday in Andorra in Grandvalira.

Did you think it was an activity reserved for large alpine peaks? Not at all. It is possible to ride sled dogs, day or night in Andorra accompanied by skilled Mushers who will make you spend a pleasant time with adorable animals.
