Seasons

Summer weather usually excellent from May to September. Snow may have melted in May; sometimes persists until well into June.

Centres

Encamp and towns on the main valley road, but the real delight of Andorra is the higher mountain villages such as Arinsal and Ordino.

Difficulty

Everything from easy walks, long walks and a trek, to scrambles and (if this is your bag) the excitement of via ferratas.

Must See

The scrambly walking on the frontier ridges, mountain villages, an outstanding refuge network. NOT the valley, but this is soon left behind.

This is the first complete English-language guide to exploring the mountains of the accessible but mysterious country of Andorra, tucked away between France and Spain. With 80 mountain lakes and a host of elegant peaks the principality offers a breathtaking range of walks in a compact area. Easily accessible from the UK, Andorra's inexpensive accommodation, excellent bus service, adequate maps and cheap food, make it an inviting walking destination.

The guide is written by an experienced guiding and writing team, and details 60 routes throughout the country. The routes include numerous walks, with scrambles and straightforward peaks, plus some via ferratas and the week-long Andorra Circuit trek.
