Before you start: four keys for a week in Andorra

What you need to know to make the most of your seven days.

One parish each day

Andorra has seven: dedicate a day to each and alternate between city, mountain, and relaxation.

One or two bases

Change hotels once at most: half the week in the center and the other half in the mountains.

Bus or car

Local buses reach all parishes; a car gives you freedom for lakes and slopes.

Snow or lakes

In winter, one of the days is for skiing; in summer, a full-day mountain hike.

7-DAY ITINERARY

A week in Andorra, day by day

DAY 1 · ANDORRA LA VELLA

Start with the capital: the Casa de la Vall, which was the seat of the Consell General, and the stone streets of the Barri Antic (Old Quarter).

DAY 2 · ESCALDES-ENGORDANY

Day 2: Escaldes-Engordany, the Madriu and Caldea

Morning in the mountains without leaving the parish: the Madriu-Perafita-Claror valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004, starts on the outskirts of Escaldes and you can explore only the first section. In the afternoon, Caldea, or Inúu, its adults-only area, and an artisanal chocolate tasting.

DAY 3 · CANILLO

Day 3: Roc del Quer, skiing in Grandvalira and spa

With snow, the bridge closes. Go up to the Roc del Quer viewpoint, open all year round if weather permits, and dedicate the rest of the day to skiing in Soldeu and El Tarter. To finish, a spa in El Tarter. On the way back, stop at the Meritxell sanctuary.

DAY 4 · ENCAMP

Day 4: snow in Grau Roig and shopping in Pas de la Casa

With snow, go up to Grau Roig: snowshoeing through the forest or a guided snowmobile tour, day or night. If you ski, the Funicamp goes up from Encamp to the Grandvalira slopes. In the afternoon, shopping in Pas de la Casa.

DAY 5 · ORDINO

Day 5: Ordino and a day of skiing in Ordino Arcalís

With the slopes open, the day can be for skiing in Ordino Arcalís; if you don't ski, the Sorteny valley with snowshoes.

With the slopes open, take the cable car from La Massana to Pal Arinsal for skiing. In the afternoon, a liquor tasting in Arinsal.

DAY 7 · SANT JULIÀ DE LÒRIA

Day 7: Sant Julià de Lòria, Naturland and farewell

Last day, on the way to the Spanish border. In Naturland, in La Rabassa, you'll find the Tobotronc, a rail sled among the trees, and adventure circuits. In the village, the Tobacco Museum occupies an old factory, and the church of Sant Julià i Sant Germà is of Romanesque origin. Say goodbye with a mountain cuisine meal before crossing.
