Best Andorra Day Trips & Things to Do

Nestled high in the eastern Pyrenees between France and Spain, Andorra is a tiny mountain principality that punches far above its weight in outdoor adventure. Long a tax-haven shopping destination, it has evolved into a premier year-round retreat. In winter, world-class resorts like Grandvalira offer some of the best skiing in Southern Europe, while the summer months reveal the UNESCO-listed Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley, a hiker’s paradise of glacial lakes and stone shepherd huts. The capital, Andorra la Vella, is home to the Caldea thermal spa - a futuristic glass cathedral of wellness - and the historic Casa de la Vall. For those with a head for heights, the Tibetan Bridge of Canillo and the Roc del Quer viewpoint provide dizzying, panoramic vistas of a country that is 90% untouched natural heritage.
