1. Snowshoe treks

The majestic mountains of Andorra offer a unique experience for those who wish to explore their natural beauty. And what better way than to explore the country's snowy trails in a different way: on foot with snowshoes. Without a doubt, snowshoeing will allow you to immerse yourself in unspoiled landscapes, far from the crowds of the ski resorts. Plus, they're a fun and easy way to explore the winter mountain landscape.

In Andorra we have numerous hiking and mountain routes that are specially designed for snowshoes. In Grandvalira and Naturland, for example, you can enjoy one of the many circuits available, either on your own or accompanied by an expert guide who will explain the secrets of the forest. A good way to enjoy the peace and serenity of winter nature while discovering hidden corners and panoramic views.




2. Dog sled rides

For a truly exciting and memorable experience, animal lovers can enjoy dog sled rides. Also known as mushing, it is an unforgettable and perfect experience. Guided by trained teams, you will enjoy the speed and beauty of the snowy landscapes while being pulled by energetic sled dogs.

From the majestic Pui d'Unha forest to the tranquility of the Incles Valley, there are many options to choose from. In addition, this activity is very calm, suitable to enjoy with your partner or your family (the recommended age is 6 years and older), providing the opportunity to connect with nature and experience the thrill of sliding down snow-covered trails.

 

3. Ice skating

Ice skating is an activity that never goes out of style in winter. Andorra has several indoor and outdoor ice rinks where visitors can enjoy an activity as a family or as a couple. There are different options available, from larger to smaller rinks, where beginners can take their first steps on the ice. If your skating skills are not very good, you can always try skate rentals to help you out.

4. Spa and wellness

A trip to enjoy snow and outdoor activities can be exhausting; And after an active day it doesn't hurt to relax and recover in a thermal center. In the Daguisa Hotels establishments, the Fènix Hotel 4* (in Escaldes-Engordany), the Font d'Argent Canillo Hotel 4* and the Font d'Argent Pas de la Casa Hotel 4*, you can take advantage of the water areas and wellness, as well as the relaxation and massage services they have. Without a doubt, a very good option to recover energy.

You can also immerse yourself in the waters of the largest thermal center in southern Europe, Caldea, with facilities where you can also enjoy revitalizing massages, relaxing and rejuvenating treatments. The best way and experience to get away from it all and recover energy at a high level. Remember that the center contains the Inúu area, exclusively for those over 16 years of age: a space to rest from everything, and everyone.

 

5. Stargazing

Clear nights in the Andorran mountains are ideal for stargazing. Far from the city lights, the night sky lights up with constellations and shooting stars. Some locations offer guided stargazing tours, giving visitors the opportunity to marvel at the beauty of the universe. Don't miss the opportunity to see the immensity of the space surrounded by the snow of Andorra.

6. Adventure parks

For thrill seekers, Andorra has adventure parks that remain open even in winter. Enjoy the thrill of sliding down zip lines at high speed, overcome obstacles at impressive heights and feel the adrenaline flow as you challenge your friends and family in adventure activities.

This winter, don't miss the opportunity to try snake gliss, one of the most fun family activities in Grandvalira. The snake gliss is nothing more than a small articulated train, made up of a set of sleds, with which a fun route is carried out while going down through the forest. And, remember, it is an activity for the whole family, both for adults and children over three years old.

Another option that I propose is to be able to build your own igloo: in addition to discovering all the history behind this type of construction, you will live the experience of building it, learning the two ways that exist: by superimposing ice blocks in a spiral shape or by compaction.

 

7. Walk through enchanted forests

Winter, too, is for walking along trails while searching for the most well-kept secrets in the snowy forests of Andorra. Together with the little ones at home you can discover the hidden clues that will lead you to know the animals that live.

An activity that I suggest you enjoy with the children is to look for the tamarros, mischievous beings that are half legend and half popular imagination that live in their world. About seven live in the Principality, difficult to see, and each with the mission of protecting the natural environment of each of the parishes. To do this, they have a magical portal, which you can search for as a family. My recommendation is that, before starting the search, you go to one of the tourist offices and get the book with which you will get a prize once you have completed the search for the seven tamarros.

Another option is to take the itinerary known as “The Quela Witch's Potion”, located on the Les Fonts circuit, in Engolasters. Through this circular route of about 3 km, the youngest will start hiking thanks to a series of games and activities under the world of witches. As in the previous activity, you can purchase a notebook to discover the witch Quela's potion as a family at the country's tourist offices.

 

8. Shopping

Without a doubt, whatever time of year you visit the country, Andorra is known for the thousands of shops, centers and shopping hubs that offer products from the most prestigious international brands at more than affordable prices. The latest developments in technology and consumer electronics, the most exclusive cosmetics and perfumes, the most current fashion with the latest trends, or the most refined gastronomic and wine specialties are within reach of all visitors.

Also, remember that now in winter we are in the middle of the sales period, so you can find at an (even) better price everything you need and want to look for. Whether for yourself or as a gift, you will surely find it in Andorra. Without a doubt, The Shopping Mile, between Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany, is the great commercial hub of Andorra, but we cannot leave behind other interesting commercial points, such as Pas de la Casa, where all types of establishments are concentrated. and shopping centers in a high mountain environment.



9. The well-deserved rest

And, after so many activities beyond skiing, you will need a well-deserved rest. At this point, there is no better option than those offered by Daguisa Hotels. In the city establishment, the Fènix Hotel 4*, located in the center of the Principality, will allow you to travel in just a few minutes to start the activity you have in mind. And I can't leave behind the other two mountain options that we also have at Daguisa Hotels for your next trip: in Canillo (Font d'Argent Canillo Hotel 4*) and in Pas de la Casa (Font d'Argent Pas de la Casa Hotel 4*). Whichever option you choose, in all of them you will find the facilities that will meet your requirements and needs, and a human staff that will offer you exquisite treatment so that you can recharge your batteries and plan the route you will take the next day.

Without a doubt, Andorra goes beyond being an exclusive destination for ski enthusiasts. With a wide variety of winter activities, from snowshoeing to dog sledding and relaxing spa experiences, this small principality presents itself as a perfect destination for those looking to enjoy nature and adventure during the winter season. winter.
