The Principality of Andorra is a landlocked country in the eastern Pyrenees, nestled between France and Spain. It is Europe’s sixth smallest state.
Andorra is a great destination for winter sports. Two resorts, Grandvalira and Vallnord, form the largest skiable area in Southern Europe. In summer, scenic hills are the entry point to the many available hikes.
