Though tiny, Andorra — nestling between France and Spain — contains some of the most dramatic sceneryAndorra is a pleasant country that offers the tourist scenic beauty, good hiking, solitude, and some lively holiday celebrations, if you are in the country at the right time. Andorra la Vella is the capital of Andorra. It is a nice and easy going town which is an excellent base for exploring the many possibilities of the mountains all around it.
Andorra is not the place for museum aficionados or anyone looking for the architectural treasures of Europe. Andorra is a good destination for those interested in outdoor activities as its landscape provides good quality hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter.
The ski resorts in the Andorran Pyrenees provide a more relaxed alternative to the central European Alps and offer sunny skiing suited toall abilities. The mountains have their own weather pattern and so, happily, snowfall is reliable from one year to the next. Poised between France and Spain, Andorra is a special place to many skiers who appreciate its lively ambience and affordability.
