The Principality of Andorra is a destination that in winter, with all the range of offers for tourists, is a country where hotels are practically always at maximum occupancy; there are always many people and during holiday periods such as Christmas and Easter there is not even room for a needle.
But Andorra is still the great unknown in summer. It is also a very good time to come and discover it or enjoy our “small” great country again.
And many people wonder, what can you do in Andorra in summer? Well, there are many things to do during spring, summer and autumn in Andorra. Sport, nature, relaxation, shopping, etc.
If you like nature and enjoy outdoor sports, during the summer, the country’s two ski resorts have many mountain activities, all of them outdoor activities, where you can go hiking and enjoy the lakes, natural parks and diversity of flora that cannot be appreciated with the snow. Access is none other than by cable cars where the panoramic views, all the way to the top, do not go unnoticed.
In addition to this, you can also find concerts and fairs within the festival programme of each parish. The most important is always the main festival of Andorra la Vella, which is always at the beginning of August and where the final flourish is always a concert by some band or musician from the current music scene. This year in particular, the Colombian band Morat will be playing in the country for the first time.
For a few years now, during the month of July, you can also find a unique Cirque du Soleil performance where you can even purchase free standing tickets.
If, on the other hand, you are looking for rest and relaxation, Caldea , the country’s thermal leisure centre, is always a good option, without forgetting the cultural offering of the museums.
As a must-see, the country’s viewing points are worth mentioning, in particular a new one located in the parish of Canillo, El Mirador Roc del Quer , with its panoramic view over a 20-metre-long walkway that makes you feel like you’re suspended in the air. Not suitable for those with vertigo.
And one of the growing attractions is cycle tourism. We are a cycling territory, since you can find up to 21 mountain passes. Both the Vuelta a España and the Tour de France choose Andorra for some of their stages.
And for those who like the mountain bike experience, Vallnord has the bike park, the most spectacular mountain bike area in Southern Europe. In fact, it is the setting for the mountain bike world cup .
And if after all this you still have doubts because one of the members of the family is your beloved pet, Andorra is a pet-friendly country , many hotels accept them, you will find pipicans and you will even be able to enjoy Andorran cuisine, since they are accepted in almost all establishments.
Come on, there are no excuses! Welcome to Andorra!
