Snowshoeing in Andorra

Snowshoeing in one of Europe's smallest countries

  • Full Board

What does this mean?

Overview

Holiday Highlights

  • The Sorteny Natural Park. A great place to start our exploration.
  • The views from the glacial lakes at Cirque du Pessons.
  • Spotting animal tracks in the snow. Your local guide will explain what you are seeing.
  • Andorra. It's not Spain and it's not France, a fascinating cultural experience.

Andorra is a small, fascinating country tucked in the High Pyrenees, bordered by France and Spain. You're in Europe, but not the EU; you’ll hear Catalan, yet you're far from Catalonia. It's a land of contrasts—and perfect for a peaceful winter escape.

You'll fly into Barcelona and drive up through increasingly dramatic mountain scenery into Andorra. Your base is the charming town of Ordino, nestled under the impressive Casamanya mountain (2,740m). From your centrally located hotel, it's easy to explore both the town and the surrounding trails.

Your snowshoeing adventure begins with a gentle introduction in Sorteny Natural Park. With your local guide, you'll learn to spot animal tracks—foxes, hares, and pine martens leave their marks in the snow. One day, you might head toward the Salamandra lakes, taking in sweeping views of the valley leading to France.

Another highlight is the Incles Valley, known not just for its beauty but also its history. During WWII, it served as an escape route for refugees led by the French Resistance.

Each day offers new scenery and challenges. You'll typically be walking between 1,800 and 2,200 meters, giving you a good chance of snow. The highest point you might reach is the Cirque du Pessons at 2,400 meters.

Of course, snow conditions can’t be guaranteed. But whether you’re in snowshoes or hiking boots, the landscapes are stunning. The itinerary is flexible and will adapt to make the most of the weather and snow conditions.

This is your chance to slow down, breathe in the mountain air, and discover the quiet magic of Andorra in winter.
