Overview | All but lost between France and Spain, like the fairy tale pea in the mattresses, the pocket-sized princedom principality of Andorra comprises just a handful of mountainous landscapes and meandering rivers - but the skiing is the best in the Pyrenees. | When To Go | The snow and ski season begins in mid-December, snowfalls willing, and lasts into April as resorts buffer nature's contributions with man-made snow that prolongs the season well into springtime. Late July, August and September are also popular times to visit as summer temperatures are mild. Hiking season begins once snows in the valleys and on their lower flanks melt and trickle away and continues through until October. Andorra's village festivals take place between July and September. | Visas | To reach Andorra, travel must be either via France or Spain. Andorra accepts any passport or passport replacing document valid for either France or Spain. | Weather | Summer is a delightful time to trek in Andorra; nights can be chilly up high but July days are satisfyingly warm, averaging around 26°C 79°F in the valleys. Winters are, in general, invigoratingly dry, chill yet sunny, with average temperatures between -1°C 30°F and 6°C 43°F. | Getting There | The only way into Andorra is by road. Andorra has only three major roads, of which the CG1 runs to the Spanish border and the CG2 to the frontier with France. If you take the latter, you'll go over or under the impressive Port d'Envalira, the highest pass in the Pyrenees 2410m7900ft. Nowadays, you can plunge through the short vehicle tunnel. Better, however, to haul your way over the pass and savour the views. The nearest Spanish airport is Barcelona's; the nearest French airport is Toulouse-Blagnac. Daily buses and minibuses run from Andorra to each of them. |
