We are a small Family business with attention to quality and detail and have been doing Andorra tours for 12 years - kindly see our 180+ TripAdvisor reviews on our Tripadvisor page.
Your team of two experienced and friendly tour guides pick you up early at your hotel or apartment in Barcelona in a clean, comfortable minivan. After a quick breakfast stop in the Pre-Pyrenees mountains, we cross the border into France and on to the tiny country of Andorra high in the Pyrenees mountain range.
We will spend 5 hours in Andorra's biggest ski area Grandvalira to experience snow and exciting snow activities. Possible activities are snowmobile excursions, snow shoe treks, dog mushing or snow-tubing (not included in tour price). These activities are generally available from mid December to early April during the snow season weather permitting. Building snowmen and snowball fights are free :-)
There is time for a 30 minute stop at Pas de la Casa for shopping, before heading back to Barcelona.
