Guide to Andorra la Vella

Virtual tour of Andorra la Vella

Andorra la Vella has several skiing regions at its disposal, the most popular of which is considered Grandvalira. This is the largest ski station in the Pyrenees, located in the east of the country. At your disposal are more than 200 kilometers of slopes of different difficulty levels, a school and equipment rentals. Three snow parks are waiting for freestyle lovers, where you can train from 9:00 to 21:00.

Grandvalira is suitable for family vacations. There is a ski school for kids and a kindergarten. There are several slopes for young athletes: Mon (T) Magic in the Canillo sector, Imaginarium in the Grau Roig sector and Bababoom Circus in the El Tarter sector.

After enjoying the dizzying descents and returning to Andorra la Vella, take a stroll through the Old Quarter. This was once the site of a village from which the famous resort grew over time. The main attraction of the area is the Casa de la Val building, where the Andorran Parliament used to be based. Now inside there is a hotel and a prison, where only natives of the principality can serve their sentences.

See also the Plaza la Poble, where the Academy of Music and the State Theater are located. Every year in July, a jazz festival is held here.
