We are a travel agency specialized in guided and self guided walking and cycling holidays.
The tiny country of Andorra is nestled in the high Pyrenees, where the cultural landscapes created over centuries by its inhabitants are in perfect harmony with the nature of its isolated valleys and unspoilt high mountains. We walk along narrow mountain paths through meadows where alpine flowers bloom in their thousands and along countless high mountain lakes, typical of the Central Pyrenees. The wildlife is abundant, with vultures and eagles soaring in the sky, while marmots and chamois roam the high mountains. From our hotel in a typical Andorran mountain village, we will discover at a relaxed pace, the most beautiful spots of Andorra´s nature in 6 very diverse walks.
