Ski resorts

The first thing we want to tell you is that Andorra is considered the largest ski area in southern Europe. And we are talking about 300 kilometers of tracks. Of course, the most important thing is that it houses high quality ski resorts such as Vallnord, Grandvalira or Naturlandia. Special mention should be made of the Tobotronc, the longest alpine slide in the world (5.3 kilometers with a drop of 400 meters). It is a kind of roller coaster found in Naturlandia. On the other hand, you should know that in Andorra you can always find interesting ski offers .

Of course, there are them for all tastes: rural houses, hostels, hotels, apartments … It is also worth noting its gastronomic offer and its relaxation centers, some of which are among the best in Europe. The best known is that of Caldea, but you should know that there are many more.

Natural environment

Logically, we must also talk about its beautiful natural environment, formed by lakes and mountains. The best example is the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Of course, it is worth enjoying the flora and fauna of its valleys, highlighting the chamois, the white partridge or the grandalla flower.

A shopper’s paradise

On the other hand, you should know that Andorra is a true paradise for shopping lovers.

Après-ski

Finally, we want to highlight the après-ski of Andorra, which includes all those activities that we can do after a day of skiing. Thus, the principality not only houses numerous shops, as we have just mentioned, but also offers numerous bars, terraces and clubs. For example, if you decide to ski in Vallnord , you can enjoy a wide variety of complementary activities, among which adventure activities stand out. Of course, its lively nightlife also stands out. Of course, for many, the best après-ski is the one that Grandvalira offers. In fact, it is almost as important as the skiing itself.
