In Andorra they also come with a setting of their own: the bordas. Here is what they are and where you can try them.</p>\n<h2>Andorra&#8217;s traditional &#8220;bordas&#8221;</h2>\n<p>Bordas (or bordes) are the <b>traditional mountain houses</b> found all over the Principality. <b>They were once used to store grain and shelter livestock</b>. Today, with farming methods having changed, many have been turned into restaurants.</p>\n<p>That means you can eat in one of the most characteristic places in these mountains and try the local cooking, which has Catalan and French influences and relies largely on local produce and chargrilled meat. If you want to see bordas in their original surroundings before you sit down to eat, the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/the-incles-valley-the-paradise-available-to-everyone/\">Incles valley</a> still has several in a high-mountain landscape.</p>\n<h2>Authentic borda restaurants in Andorra</h2>\n<p>To enjoy this architecture it is worth heading a little way out of the towns, because <b>these houses were built in the countryside</b>. This selection brings together bordas from different parishes, spread out so that you can find one near your route. Opening times and menus change, so call before you go, especially outside the main season.</p>\n<p><b>1. La Borda de la Coma</b></p>\n<p>You will find it at La Coma del Forat, in the Ordino Arcalís area. <b>It is known for its chargrilled meat</b>, and also serves fondue, raclette, pierrades and burgers. If you have a food intolerance, it offers gluten-free, lactose-free and fructose-free options.</p>\n<p><b>2. Borda L&#8217;Era d&#8217;en Jaume</b></p>\n<p>A stone house facing the mountains on Avinguda de l&#8217;Angonella in Llorts, with an entry in the Gault&amp;Millau guide. <b>Its speciality is olla dels padrins</b>, a hearty stew of mixed meats and chickpeas. Dishes such as lamb chops, beef onglet and crema catalana have also featured on the menu.</p>\n<p><b>3. Borda Xixerella</b></p>\n<p>This one is in Pal, at Carrer Doctor Vilanova 7. It mixes traditional Andorran, Mediterranean and international cooking, and <b>its strong point is chargrilled meat</b>.</p>\n<p><b>4. Borda Pairal 1630</b></p>\n<p>If you would rather not leave Andorra la Vella, this is the one. It serves <b>snails a la llauna, chargrilled meat, roast kid</b> and veal with duck foie, along with homemade pastries and a list of about 400 wines and cavas.</p>\n<p><b>5. Borda Molí dels Fanals</b></p>\n<p>In Sispony, in La Massana, about 4 km from Andorra la Vella. It serves croquettes, meatballs with cuttlefish, snails a la llauna, duck in red fruit sauce and, naturally, plenty from the grill.</p>\n<p><b>6. Borda de les Pubilles</b></p>\n<p>In Aixirivall. This is the stop for anyone after something warming from a bowl: <b>onion soup gratin with egg</b> and a shepherd&#8217;s soup made with bread, garlic, oil and salt, to which other ingredients are added.</p>\n<p><b>7. Borda Xicoies</b></p>\n<p>Formerly known as Raubert, it has been open since 1972. Try the cream of nettle soup, the escudella or the mountain trinxat with chilli, and finish with local cheeses and cured meats.</p>\n<h2>Other chargrill restaurants near Pas de la Casa</h2>\n<p>Pas de la Casa belongs to the parish of Encamp, as does Grau Roig. If you are staying in this area and want to stay with chargrilled meat and mountain cooking, you do not need to cross half the country.</p>\n<p><b>1. Borda Vella</b></p>\n<p>In Encamp. Andorran, Catalan and Spanish cooking with <b>chargrilled meat, octopus, fillet steak, stuffed artichokes</b>, mountain pâté and roast cheeks. It also has a large wine cellar.</p>\n<p><b>2. La Vaquería</b></p>\n<p>This is Hotel Grau Roig&#8217;s slopeside restaurant in Grandvalira, serving traditional mountain cuisine. In winter, the high season, it makes a practical stop between runs on <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/our-ski-slopes-in-andorra/\">the Grandvalira slopes</a>.</p>\n<p><b>3. La Fromagerie</b></p>\n<p>Also at the hotel, and devoted to cheese: fondues and raclettes for a cold night. If you prefer something else, there is the market cuisine of La Marmita and El Teatro del Vino, with a cellar of more than 300 labels. The hotel is listed in the <a href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/es/es/hotels-stays/grandvalira/grau-roig-andorra-boutique-hotel-spa-5679\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MICHELIN Guide</a>. You will find them all under <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/our-restaurants/\">the hotel&#8217;s restaurants</a>.</p>\n<h2>Enjoy Andorra&#8217;s most authentic food</h2>\n<p>Bordas work best when you fit them into a day in the mountains or around the villages, since nearly all of them are outside the towns. You can combine a meal in Llorts or Sispony with <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/villages-of-andorra-routes/\">a tour of Andorra&#8217;s villages</a> or one of the area&#8217;s <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/walking-excursions-and-hiking-routes-in-andorra/\">hiking routes</a>. In winter, check the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/andorra-road-conditions-traffic/\">road conditions</a> first, as several bordas are on mountain roads.

Whatever was scarce or expensive on one side could be sold on the other, and in between lay mountains that could only be crossed on foot or with mules. Smuggling was no romantic adventure. It was hard, genuinely risky work that fed many families on both sides of the Pyrenees.</p>\n<p>The best-documented period is the years after the Spanish Civil War. Food, medicine and industrial goods were in short supply, and smuggling became one of the main ways to get hold of them. During the Second World War, France also wanted more and more wool, and Andorrans acted as middlemen, which encouraged more smuggling crews to form.</p>\n<h3>Wool on the way out, tobacco on the way back</h3>\n<p>The business was simple. Crews bought wool from farmers and shepherds for around 15 to 18 pesetas a kilo and sold it in Andorra for 40 to 50. With that money they loaded up on whatever was worth something in Spain: packs of tobacco, loose tobacco in half-kilo lots, cigarette papers from the Reig factory in Sant Julià de Lòria and perfume essences. Anisette and tins of sardines also changed hands.</p>\n<p>Some exchanges were more unusual. People from Sant Llorenç de Morunys swapped wooden barrels made from black pine heartwood for tobacco. Andorrans prized them for storing water.</p>\n<h3>Who has told the story</h3>\n<p>Much of what we know comes from the historian Josep Albert Planes i Ball, who carried out fieldwork between 2006 and 2009 and published <i>El contraban de frontera al Pirineu català</i> in 2011. It is the book to read if your interest goes beyond the anecdotes.</p>\n<h2>The main smuggling routes in Andorra: a detailed look</h2>\n<p>There was no official route, of course. Each crew used the passes it knew, depending on where it set out from and who it had to hide from. These are some of the journeys recorded in the sources.</p>\n<h3>From Odèn to Andorra</h3>\n<p>Crews from Odèn, in the Solsonès area, took about seven days to get there and back. They reached Andorra in around three, sold the wool, bought tobacco, slept at the Hotel Pol and set off home the following day. Loads could reach 30 kilos, carried over long and difficult terrain.</p>\n<h3>The Port de Perafita</h3>\n<p>This historic pass between the Cerdanya and Andorra was used by smugglers from Arànser. Today it is one of the names you will come across most often if you walk through the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/madriu-valley-infinity-nature/\">Madriu valley</a>, one of the best ways to get a feel for the ground they covered.</p>\n<h3>From the Alt Urgell and the Solsonès</h3>\n<p>Smugglers from Sort left from the hermitage of Santa Magdalena, in the Alt Urgell, on their way to Andorra. Those from Sant Llorenç de Morunys went via Tuixén and Cornellana.</p>\n<h3>By bus, too</h3>\n<p>Not everything travelled on people&#8217;s backs. Olive oil travelled on the La Seu d&#8217;Urgell bus line, with bottles and flagons hidden in mail sacks. Those sacks could not be searched without a special court order, which made them awkward to inspect. Drivers, ticket inspectors and railway staff helped out in exchange for gifts.</p>\n<h2>The legends linked to smuggling in Andorra</h2>\n<p>With this subject it pays to separate what is documented from what gets embellished over dinner. Many of the stories in circulation come without names or dates. The ones below have something to back them up.</p>\n<h3>The paquetaires and the Guardia Civil</h3>\n<p>The porters were known as paquetaires, and crews could number up to fifteen people. Some carried weapons, and there were clashes with the Guardia Civil. But the picture of constant pursuit is incomplete: many border guards were more interested in keeping the bundles for themselves than in enforcing the law, and bribes and gifts were common. Smugglers often got away simply by dropping their load.</p>\n<h3>From smugglers to escape guides</h3>\n<p>Anyone who knew these passes became hugely valuable during the Second World War. Most guides on the escape routes through Andorra were Spanish and often smugglers. The most frequently cited is Joaquim Baldrich, a mountain guide and smuggler in his twenties, who helped several hundred refugees reach Spain. We cover this in <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/freedom-route-andorra-wwii-escape-lines/\">Andorra&#8217;s escape lines</a>.</p>\n<h3>The mystery of Tor</h3>\n<p>On the far side of the Port de Cabús, the village of Tor carries a dark history of its own. The dispute over its mountain has been linked to as many as three murders, and Josep Montané, known as &#8220;Sansa&#8221;, was found dead on 30 July 1995 in a case that remains unsolved. It is the story that hangs over the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/smugglers-route-in-a-4x4/\">smugglers&#8217; route by 4&#215;4</a>.</p>\n<h2>The impact of smuggling on Andorra&#8217;s culture and economy</h2>\n<p>The money made a difference. A single trip could pay a good deal more than a day&#8217;s work on the land or in the mines, which is why so many people took it on despite the effort.</p>\n<h3>Tobacco as an industry</h3>\n<p>The best place to understand this is the Museu del Tabac, in the former Reig factory in Sant Julià de Lòria, which operated from 1909 to 1957. It is not a smuggling museum. It explains how the leaf was grown, fermented, cut and dried, and shows the cigarette and cigar workshops and the factory offices. It does, however, have displays on the smuggling of tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, as part of a wider account of tobacco&#8217;s weight in Andorra&#8217;s economy and society.</p>\n<h3>From local trade to organised networks</h3>\n<p>A former smuggler, interviewed under a pseudonym by the Andorran outlet Alto, describes a trade with its own codes, whose profits reached the country&#8217;s shops, restaurants and mechanics. According to his account, large operators using shipping containers moved in during the 1990s, and anti-fraud laws arrived in 1999. It is one man&#8217;s version, but it helps to explain how the change was felt.</p>\n<h3>A story still unfolding</h3>\n<p>Smuggling is not just a thing of the past. In 2026, Andorran and French authorities, under Eurojust oversight, dismantled a network that had moved around a million euros&#8217; worth of tobacco. Those arrested included the owner of a shop in Pas de la Casa. Investigators seized 6,250 packets, 70,000 euros in cash and five vehicles. That is reason enough to read up on the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/buy-tobacco-in-andorra-at-the-best-price/\">limits for buying tobacco in Andorra</a> before you head home.</p>\n<h2>Tips for exploring Andorra&#8217;s smuggling routes today</h2>\n<p>There is no waymarked smugglers&#8217; route, so be wary of anyone selling you one as such. What you can do is combine real places with mountain paths.</p>\n<h3>What to do in summer</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit the Museu del Tabac in Sant Julià de Lòria. Check opening times before you go.</li>\n<li>Walk the Madriu valley or pick another of the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/walking-excursions-and-hiking-routes-in-andorra/\">hiking routes in Andorra</a> to suit your level. These are high-mountain walks, so bring water and warm clothing and check the forecast.</li>\n<li>4&#215;4 routes are listed among the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/mountain-activities-andorra/\">hotel&#8217;s summer activities</a>. Take care with Tor: the owners of the mountain restrict visitor access via the Port de Cabús, and the private stretch between the pass and the village is reserved for residents.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>What to do in winter</h3>\n<p>The high passes lie under snow and the Port de Cabús is normally open only from May to October, so these routes are not for this time of year. But winter is the high season at Grau Roig. You can ski <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/our-ski-slopes-in-andorra/\">the Grandvalira slopes</a> in the morning, head out on <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/snowshoeing-andorra/\">snowshoes</a> to experience what it is like to move through these mountains in the cold, and spend an afternoon at the museum.</p>\n<h3>Where to rest afterwards</h3>\n<p>Hotel Grau Roig stands in the Grau Roig sector of Grandvalira and is listed in the <a href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/es/es/hotels-stays/grandvalira/grau-roig-andorra-boutique-hotel-spa-5679\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MICHELIN Guide</a>. Back at the hotel you have a spa with a heated pool, along with market cuisine at La Marmita, mountain fare at La Vaquería and fondues and raclettes at La Fromagerie. El Teatro del Vino focuses on pairing, with a cellar of more than 300 labels.</p>\n","categories":[{"id":"0e8c2633-22cd-52a4-8bfe-e028a5ba997f","name":"Culture","slug":"culture","parentElement":null},{"id":"425a3962-c27d-569c-ae7b-a85f0e6bb381","name":"Adventure","slug":"adventure","parentElement":null}],"acf":{"subtitle":"Wool on the way out, tobacco on the way back: how smuggling worked between Andorra, Spain and France","lead":"Smugglers in Andorra: routes, wool, tobacco and the true stories of the porters who crossed the Pyrenees, plus where to explore that history today.","featuredMedia":null,"isFeatured":"no"}}},{"node":{"id":"f20d5383-9d95-5d4c-8709-3d5cf5f9eb94","path":"/en/tasting-menus-andorra/","title":"The most exclusive tasting menus in Andorra: a journey through luxury flavours","date":"02 November 2026","content":"<h2>What makes a tasting menu exclusive in Andorra?</h2>\n<p>The choice of tasting menus in Andorra is small, which is why it pays to know exactly where they are and what each one offers. If you are after a long meal with several courses and a common thread, the real options come down to a handful of tables, and two of them are worth the journey: Ibaya, in Soldeu, and El Teatro del Vino, in Grau Roig.</p>\n<p>Exclusivity here is measured in three concrete ways: few tables, advance booking and cooking that works with what the mountains provide. This guide brings the options together, with details you can check for yourself.</p>\n<h3>Seasonal produce</h3>\n<p>A good tasting menu is built on what is in season, and at high altitude you notice it: winter calls for deep flavours and dishes with character, while summer allows for lighter cooking. So do not expect the same sequence of dishes if you come back at another time of year.</p>\n<h3>A setting that is part of the meal</h3>\n<p>Eating at over 2,000 metres after a day in the snow is nothing like sitting down in a city restaurant. Grau Roig lies within the Grandvalira sector of the same name, right by the slopes. That context changes the pace of dinner and the way you enjoy it.</p>\n<h3>Wine as part of the menu</h3>\n<p>On a long menu, the pairing matters almost as much as the dishes. Always ask before booking whether the pairing is included or charged separately, and whether wines are available by the glass. Each restaurant approaches it in its own way.</p>\n<h3>Booking is a must</h3>\n<p>This kind of cooking takes time and works with small numbers of diners. It is not a last-minute plan, least of all at the height of the ski season.</p>\n<h2>Where to find luxury tasting menus in Andorra</h2>\n<p>Let us start with the fact that frames everything else: Andorra&#8217;s only Michelin star in the 2026 guide belongs to Ibaya. From there, these are the tables you should know about.</p>\n<h3>Ibaya (Soldeu)</h3>\n<p>Ibaya is inside the Sport Hotel Hermitage &amp; Spa in Soldeu, with Francis Paniego (El Portal de Echaurren, Ezcaray) and Jordi Grau as resident chef. According to the MICHELIN Guide, it offers two creative tasting menus: &#8220;Un paseo por el valle de Incles&#8221; and a longer one, &#8220;Un paseo por Andorra&#8221;. Both revolve around Andorran produce and rural life, with the odd international nod such as a mountain ramen.</p>\n<p>The experience moves through several spaces: it starts at reception, continues with appetisers in a lounge and in the kitchen, and ends in the dining room. It is open on Tuesday to Friday evenings and for lunch and dinner on Saturdays, and bookings are made directly with the restaurant. Check opening hours before you go, as they may change.</p>\n<h3>El Teatro del Vino (Grau Roig)</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/wine-theatre/\">El Teatro del Vino</a> is the most wine-focused restaurant at Hotel Grau Roig, which appears in the <a href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/es/es/hotels-stays/grandvalira/grau-roig-andorra-boutique-hotel-spa-5679\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MICHELIN Guide</a> with One Key. It offers a tasting menu paired with wines and champagne, in a dining room inspired by a wine cellar and with very few tables; Michelin mentions 10 tables and &#8220;minimalist mountain cuisine&#8221;. It opens on request only, and you need to book at least 24 hours in advance.</p>\n<p>Of the hotel&#8217;s options, this is the closest match if you want a long menu with wine at the centre of the table. Behind it lies a cellar of more than 300 labels, including wines, cavas and champagnes.</p>\n<h3>Other tables at Hotel Grau Roig</h3>\n<p>Each of the hotel&#8217;s restaurants has its own approach. <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/la-marmita-restaurant/\">La Marmita</a> serves market and mountain cooking with a modern touch, open for dinner, with a seasonal menu. <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/la-vaqueria-restaurant/\">La Vaquería</a> is the informal slope-side option, with traditional cooking, grilled meats, rice dishes and a terrace overlooking the ski area. La Fromagerie focuses on cheese, with fondues and raclettes. There is also Secret Room and, for a drink before or after, Copper Bar and Summer Lounge.</p>\n<h3>Other names in the MICHELIN Guide</h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://www.alto.ad/culture/2025/11/les-pardines-1819-added-to-michelin-guide-2026-i\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2026 edition of the guide</a> also recommends, without a star, Les Pardines 1819, Beç, Celler d&#8217;en Toni, Koy Hermitage and Solineu Club Hermitage. They do not all work to the same format, so ask each one whether it has a tasting menu. For more ideas, see our selection of <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/six-restaurants-in-andorra-you-must-know/\">gourmet restaurants in Andorra</a>.</p>\n<h2>What to expect from a tasting menu in Andorra</h2>\n<p>If this is your first time sitting down to one of these menus, here is what usually shapes the experience.</p>\n<h3>A journey, not just a succession of dishes</h3>\n<p>The menu is conceived as a sequence, with several small bites and an order running from light to more intense. Ibaya is a clear example: its two menus are presented as a walk through the local landscape, and the appetisers are already part of the story.</p>\n<h3>Mountain produce</h3>\n<p>Andorra&#8217;s high-mountain cooking has plenty to offer: at La Vaquería, for example, the basis is traditional Andorran cooking with local ingredients. If you would like to try that cuisine in its most authentic form, add one of the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/borda-restaurants-andorra/\">traditional mountain borda restaurants</a> to your trip.</p>\n<h3>Pairings</h3>\n<p>The hotel has sommeliers and a cellar with Spanish and international labels. If wine is a genuine interest, do not stop at the table: our guide to <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/high-end-wine-tastings-luxury-wine-tourism-in-andorra/\">wine tastings and wine tourism in Andorra</a> explains which wineries you can visit in the country.</p>\n<h3>Allergies and dietary needs</h3>\n<p>Mention any allergy or intolerance when you book, not when you sit down. A set menu is harder to change on the spot. La Marmita and La Vaquería list vegetarian and coeliac options; elsewhere, ask directly.</p>\n<h3>Pace and timing</h3>\n<p>Set aside the whole evening. A menu of several courses does not fit with being in a hurry or with first-thing skiing the next morning, so leave room in your schedule and, if you are going to drink, sort out beforehand how you will get back to where you are staying. Mountain roads call for caution in winter.</p>\n<h2>Key points for choosing the right menu</h2>\n<p>Before you decide, compare these points. They will help you avoid the unexpected.</p>\n<h3>Opening days</h3>\n<p>Ibaya closes on Sundays and Mondays according to Michelin. El Teatro del Vino opens on request only. So plan your trip around the dinner, not the other way round.</p>\n<h3>Format and length</h3>\n<p>Ask how many courses the menu includes and whether you can choose between several options. At Ibaya, the difference between its two menus is size, so choose according to the appetite you have after a day in the snow.</p>\n<h3>Wine included or separate</h3>\n<p>This is what can most affect the final bill. Ask about the pairing when you book, and say so if you would rather choose a bottle.</p>\n<h3>Location and getting back</h3>\n<p>Ibaya is in Soldeu and El Teatro del Vino in Grau Roig, both in the Grandvalira area. In winter, check the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/andorra-road-conditions-traffic/\">state of the roads</a> before setting off at night.</p>\n<h2>How to book the best tasting menus in Andorra</h2>\n<p>The process is simple, but you need to do it in advance, particularly during the ski season, from November to April, which is Andorra&#8217;s high season.</p>\n<h3>Booking at Hotel Grau Roig</h3>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Contact the hotel:</b> email info@hotelgrauroig.com or call +376 75 55 56 to check availability.</li>\n<li><b>Allow enough time:</b> El Teatro del Vino asks for at least 24 hours&#8217; notice.</li>\n<li><b>Tell them what you need:</b> mention any allergies, whether you want a pairing and whether you are celebrating something.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3>Booking at Ibaya</h3>\n<p>Bookings are made directly with the restaurant, on +376 870 670, according to its Michelin listing. As it holds the country&#8217;s only star, the sooner you call the better.</p>\n<h3>Tastings and groups</h3>\n<p>El Teatro del Vino offers private tastings and tailored tastings for groups, always on request. If you are travelling with friends or want to celebrate something, ask what is possible for your dates.</p>\n<h3>A winter plan</h3>\n<p>A good plan is to ski in the morning on <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/our-ski-slopes-in-andorra/\">the Grandvalira slopes</a>, have a light lunch, rest in the afternoon and leave the long dinner for the evening. La Vaquería takes care of lunch at the foot of the slopes, and at night all that remains is to choose your table.</p>\n","categories":[{"id":"48f7502e-22d9-5007-b35c-6f32d09a043a","name":"Gastronomy","slug":"gastronomy","parentElement":null}],"acf":{"subtitle":"Where the serious tables are and what to know before you book","lead":"Tasting menus in Andorra: Ibaya, the country's only Michelin star, El Teatro del Vino in Grau Roig and how to book each table.","featuredMedia":null,"isFeatured":"no"}}},{"node":{"id":"2cd4aedb-fa93-5715-9452-ee115ed14202","path":"/en/imaginarium-ski-school/","title":"Children’s ski school in Grau Roig (formerly Imaginarium)","date":"02 November 2026","content":"<p>If you are looking for a children&#8217;s ski school in Grau Roig, this Grandvalira sector is one of the most complete for families. For years, the area&#8217;s children&#8217;s programme was known as Imaginarium. That name no longer appears in <a href=\"https://www.grandvalira.com/es/escuelas/clases-ninos\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Grandvalira&#8217;s current programme</a>: today it goes by Kids Program, Snow Garden, Kids Forest and Màgic Ski. The idea remains the same: learning to ski through play, with instructors and children&#8217;s characters.</p>\n<h2>What Grau Roig offers children today</h2>\n<p>Choose according to age and how you want them to spend the day. All school services, including the nursery, require a valid lift pass, and equipment is arranged separately.</p>\n<h3>Nursery, ages 1 to 3</h3>\n<p>Within Grandvalira, <a href=\"https://www.grandvalira.com/es/servicios/guarderia\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Grau Roig is the only sector with a nursery</a>. It opens every day from 9:30 to 16:30 and is booked online. There are no ski lessons and meals are not included, so please bring whatever your child needs, plus a change of clothes and nappies.</p>\n<h3>Snow Garden, ages 3 to 5</h3>\n<p>This is a child&#8217;s first introduction to skis: getting used to the snow or basic lessons on closed circuits, for 1 to 5 days. Grandvalira offers it in all its sectors. Its page says ages 3 to 5 in one section and 3 to 6 in another, so check the group if your child is 5 or 6.</p>\n<h3>Kids Program, ages 3 to 11</h3>\n<p>This is the closest equivalent to the old Imaginarium programme, because it combines lessons, snow activities and lunch. According to <a href=\"https://www.grandvalira.com/es/escuelas/clases-ninos/kids-program\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Grandvalira</a>, ages 3 to 6 get 2 hours of lessons in the snow garden and 1 hour of introduction to the snow; ages 6 to 11 get 3 hours of lessons. It is sold for 1 to 5 consecutive days, and can begin on any day. Ask for the exact Grau Roig timetable when you book.</p>\n<h3>Group lessons, ages 6 to 11</h3>\n<p>If your child only needs the lesson, there are ski and snowboard groups by level, for 1 to 5 days. In Grau Roig, multi-day courses start on Mondays.</p>\n<h3>Màgic Ski: season school, ages 3 to 16</h3>\n<p>If you come for several weekends, the <a href=\"https://www.grandvalira.com/es/escuelas/clases-ninos/escuela-temporada\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Màgic Ski school</a> has its base in Grau Roig. For 2026-27 there are Baby, Mini, Kids and Junior groups, along with a Christmas course and one for parents. Registration is open until 8 December 2026 and places are limited.</p>\n<h2>Kids Forest: the circuit for playing in the snow</h2>\n<p>This is what children remember most. <a href=\"https://visitandorra.com/it/sci/kids-forest-circuits-at-grandvalira\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Andorra</a> describes the Grau Roig Kids Forest as the largest and most complete of the three circuits of this type in Grandvalira, and the only one with a beginners&#8217; slope. There is an obstacle course with fantasy decoration and a children&#8217;s area with mini <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/snowmobile-andorra/\">snowmobiles</a>, a snow-tubing slide, a zip line and jumps.</p>\n<p>Levels are marked by characters: Mona the marmot for those just starting, Bo the capercaillie for those gaining confidence, Vulpi the fox for intermediate level and Nae the chamois for the most accomplished. <a href=\"https://www.grandvalira.com/es/estacion/circuitos-infantiles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Grandvalira</a> presents the circuits as free and open to skiers up to the age of 12.</p>\n<h2>Tips for the first day</h2>\n<h3>What to bring</h3>\n<p>The school does not lend equipment on the slopes. For the Kids Program, each child needs a helmet, skis, boots, sunglasses or goggles, gloves and a hat, and it is worth adding a change of clothes and walking boots. Poles are not needed. Equipment hire and lift passes are arranged separately.</p>\n<h3>Which lift pass works</h3>\n<p>For the Kids Program you can use a day pass, a multi-day pass, the Andorra Pass season ticket or Plus+. Pedestrian, beginner and Mountain Pass tickets are not accepted. You can compare options in our guide to <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/ski-pass-prices-andorra/\">lift pass prices</a>.</p>\n<h3>When to book</h3>\n<p>The school may decline a child who does not meet the group&#8217;s age requirement, and activities depend on the weather. At Christmas and Easter, book well ahead. For questions and registration, you can reach Grandvalira on +376 891 810 from Andorra or +34 931 770 586 from Spain.</p>\n<h2>How to fit it into your stay</h2>\n<p>Ask our team when you book, on +376 75 55 56 or at info@hotelgrauroig.com, and we will help you fit the course into the days of your stay.

Below you will find how to call the Principality from abroad, how to call other countries from Andorra, the emergency numbers and what to check about roaming before you travel.</p>\n<h2>Calling Andorra from abroad</h2>\n<p>A well-prepared stay begins with having the right contacts to hand. There is plenty of information online, but a phone call is still the quickest way to settle a specific question and receive a personal answer.</p>\n<p><b>To call Andorra from Spain</b> (or any other country), <b>dial 00 376</b> (or +376), the country code, followed by the number you want to reach. Andorran numbers have 6 digits: they start with &#8220;8&#8221; or &#8220;7&#8221; for landlines, &#8220;3&#8221; for contract mobiles and &#8220;6&#8221; for prepaid mobiles.</p>\n<p>These are the <b>phone numbers of Andorra&#8217;s main tourist offices</b>, whose staff can advise you on destinations and routes within the Principality:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Andorra la Vella:</b> +376 730 003</li>\n<li><b>Canillo:</b> +376 851 002</li>\n<li><b>Encamp:</b> +376 731 000</li>\n<li><b>Escaldes-Engordany:</b> +376 820 963</li>\n<li><b>La Massana:</b> +376 835 693</li>\n<li><b>Ordino:</b> +376 737 080</li>\n<li><b>Sant Julià de Lòria:</b> +376 844 345</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In winter, Andorra&#8217;s high season, it is particularly useful to know the <b>state of the ski slopes</b> before setting out. For information, you can call this number:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Ski Andorra:</b> +376 864 389</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Calling from Andorra</h2>\n<p>Once you have arrived, you will naturally want to stay in touch with your family or deal with a work matter without it interrupting your days in the mountains.</p>\n<p><b>To call another country from Andorra, dial the international prefix (00), followed by the country code</b> (for example, <b>Spain is 34</b>, France is 33, Portugal is 351&#8230;) and then the phone number. The same procedure applies if the phone you are calling is Spanish, or from any other country, even if it happens to be inside Andorra at the time.</p>\n<p>If you are in the Principality and calling an Andorran number, you do not need to dial any prefix: the 6 digits of the number are enough.</p>\n<p>It is also wise to keep the <b>emergency numbers in Andorra</b> close at hand. Bear in mind that the 3-digit emergency numbers can only be dialled from inside Andorra; from abroad, your operator will not recognise them.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Police:</b> 110</li>\n<li><b>Fire brigade:</b> 118</li>\n<li><b>Medical emergencies:</b> 116</li>\n<li><b>General emergencies:</b> 112</li>\n<li><b>Andorran Red Cross:</b> (00376) 825 225</li>\n<li><b>Hospital &#8220;Nostra Sra. de Meritxell&#8221;:</b> (00376) 871 000</li>\n<li><b>Traveller service:</b> (00376) 871 005</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The police can also be reached on +376 872 000, and 24-hour roadside assistance on +376 1802 1802, a number worth saving if you are driving over the mountain passes in winter.</p>\n<h2>Roaming in Andorra</h2>\n<p>Although <b>Andorra</b> lies on the European continent, <b>it is outside free EU roaming and is charged separately</b>, as is the case in Switzerland, for example. So if you want to use your mobile as usual, <b>speak to your phone company and ask them to activate it before you travel.</b></p>\n<p>Having data in Andorra brings peace of mind. It lets you share images of your trip straight away, without waiting to connect to the Wi-Fi back at the hotel, and above all it keeps you contactable as you move around.</p>\n<p>It is also a matter of safety. If you lose your bearings on the road, you can open Google Maps; if something unexpected happens on a mountain excursion, you can turn on geolocation.</p>\n<p>Check your operator&#8217;s conditions before you travel. Another option is Andorra Telecom&#8217;s prepaid eSIM, at €10 or €20, and on Av. Carlemany and Av. Meritxell you will find the public Andorra Wi-Fi network.</p>\n<p>If you are coming to <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/our-ski-slopes-in-andorra/\">ski in Grandvalira</a>, add these numbers to your contacts before heading up to the slopes.

You travel through the forests of Grau Roig on a sled pulled by Nordic breeds (husky, Samoyed or Alaskan malamute) and, if you like, you can feel like a musher for a day by driving along snowy tracks yourself. Here we focus on the essentials: which format to choose, what age is required and how to fit it into your trip. If you first want to know how the activity works and how the dogs do their job, see our guide to <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/mushing-andorra-dog-sledding/\">what mushing in Andorra is</a>.</p>\n<h2>Which format to choose</h2>\n<p>The main decision is whether you ride as a passenger or drive. The operator <a href=\"https://www.rocroi.com/en/centers/andorra-grandvalira/mushing.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RocRoi</a>, based in Grau Roig, lists these options:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Passenger ride:</b> 2, 3 or 5 km, with a professional musher in charge of the sled. This is the best choice with children or for a first outing.</li>\n<li><b>Driving:</b> 2 km, after instructions and with the musher nearby. Monday to Friday only.</li>\n<li><b>Night ride:</b> 5 km, or 10 km with dinner included.</li>\n<li><b>Combination:</b> 2 km of mushing with 30 or 60 minutes of snowmobiling, around an hour and a half to two hours in total for the shorter version.</li>\n<li><b>Multi-adventure day:</b> a day with several snow activities, including 1 km by sled. Visit Andorra describes a <a href=\"https://visitandorra.com/it/sci/snowmobiles-at-grandvalira\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Premium Adult pass</a> of this kind.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>A tip to help you decide</h3>\n<p>If it is your first outing and you are unsure between 2 and 5 km, think about the cold rather than the distance. As a passenger you barely move, so a short trip may be enough with young children. Longer routes and night outings are best enjoyed well wrapped up and without rushing.</p>\n<h2>Ages and requirements</h2>\n<h3>Children</h3>\n<p>On most RocRoi rides, the minimum age is 3 with an adult. On some combinations it rises to about 5 or 6, so check the specific option.</p>\n<h3>To drive the sled</h3>\n<p>RocRoi sets a minimum age of 18 for the outing where you drive. As conditions may vary by operator and season, always confirm before you book.</p>\n<h3>How many people per sled</h3>\n<p>It depends on weight and fitness: RocRoi states 1 to 3 people per sled, with combinations such as two adults and a child aged 3 to 8, or one adult and two small children. If there are more of you, you will need to divide into several sleds, so mention it when you book.</p>\n<h2>Season and what to expect</h2>\n<p>This is a winter activity and it depends on the snow. The ski season in Andorra usually runs from November to April, and specific dates appear in the operator&#8217;s calendar. Places are limited in high season, so it is advisable to book ahead. The route may change or the outing may be postponed because of the weather or snow conditions.</p>\n<p>At the end of most outings you can get close to the dogs, pet them and take photos.</p>\n<h3>What to bring</h3>\n<p>Ski or winter clothing, ski gloves, sunglasses or goggles, sunscreen and snow or walking boots. For night outings, add extra warm layers, a hat and a neck gaiter.</p>\n<h3>What is included</h3>\n<p>According to RocRoi, professional guides or mushers, parking and third-party liability insurance are included. Accident insurance is bought separately at the centre. The meeting point is next to the Cubil car park, in a beige yurt with a white flag.</p>\n<h2>How to book and plan the day</h2>\n<p>Just tell us you would like an outing during the days you are staying at Hotel Grau Roig, listed in the <a href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/es/es/hotels-stays/grandvalira/grau-roig-andorra-boutique-hotel-spa-5679\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MICHELIN Guide</a>, and we will help you find the best combination of times.

If your hotel and dates are already settled, it is worth buying before you arrive.</p>\n<h3>One-day passes</h3>\n<p>Day passes are split by age. Your category depends on how old you are on the first day of use, and you need to carry a document that proves it.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Adult:</b> 18 to 64 years old. Also available as a Mobile Pass, the digital pass activated in the Grandvalira Resorts app, with no physical card.</li>\n<li><b>Junior:</b> 12 to 17 years old.</li>\n<li><b>Child:</b> 6 to 11 years old.</li>\n<li><b>Senior:</b> there is one rate for ages 65-69 and a reduced rate for ages 70-74, both sold only at the ticket office. From the age of 75, the pass is free.</li>\n<li><b>Baby:</b> free up to the age of 5. Collect it at the ticket office.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Other one-day options</h3>\n<p>Not everyone needs the entire ski area or a full day. These are the options the resort publishes:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Beginner:</b> gives access only to the lifts in the beginner areas and includes one gondola ride up.</li>\n<li><b>Half day:</b> valid from 1 pm, for anyone arriving late or preferring fewer hours on the snow.</li>\n<li><b>Pedestrian:</b> not valid for skiing. It includes two rides up and two rides down on the same day on any gondola, a good choice if you are coming for a walk or to keep someone company.</li>\n<li><b>Mountain Pass:</b> one ride up and one ride down per day and lift, with access to the ski touring circuits and snowshoeing areas.</li>\n<li><b>Night skiing:</b> bought at the ticket offices or machines in Pas de la Casa.</li>\n<li><b>Snowpark:</b> a dedicated pass for the Henrik Harlaut Snowpark in Peretol, sold directly at the ticket office.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Multi-day passes</h3>\n<p>If you plan to ski several days in a row, look at the consecutive-day pass. From two days upwards it also gives you access to Ordino Arcalís and Pal Arinsal, so you can switch resorts during your trip without buying another pass.</p>\n<p>If you are not sure how many days you will ski, there is the <b>Forfait Plus+</b>: you only pay for the days you use and, from the second day, you get a 15% daily discount on the ticket office price of a one-day pass.</p>\n<p>For regular visitors, the <b>Andorra Pass</b> is the season pass. In 2026-27 it is valid from 4 December to 4 April and covers Grandvalira, Pal Arinsal and Ordino Arcalís: 308 skiable kilometres, 216 slopes and 124 lifts. Its prices come in tiers according to the purchase date; you can see them on <a href=\"https://www.ordinoarcalis.com/en/ski-pass/season/andorra-pass\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the official Andorra Pass page</a>.</p>\n<p>Travelling as a group? There is a 4% discount for 25 people or more on the same type of pass (adult, junior or child, without mixing categories). It does not apply from 25/12/26 to 06/01/27 or from 30/01/27 to 28/02/27.</p>\n<h3>Do not travel without insurance</h3>\n<p>Ski pass insurance is taken out when you buy the pass or at the ticket office, always before the first day of use: it cannot be added once the pass has been used. It includes a free reprint if you lose your pass, which matters because, without insurance, loss, damage or breakage do not entitle you to a replacement. Before you buy it, check the price and cover on the official website.</p>\n<p>Remember too that the pass is personal and non-transferable, and that off-piste skiing is at your own risk.</p>\n<h2>Tax on ski pass prices</h2>\n<p>Andorra has no VAT. The equivalent tax is IGI, with a general rate of 4.5%. To avoid surprises, check the final amount shown in the booking tool before you pay.</p>\n<h2>How to fit the ski pass into your stay</h2>\n<p>If you stay in Grau Roig, the snow is right on your doorstep: we explain it in <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/luxury-ski-in-ski-out-the-comfort-and-opulence-of-being-directly-on-the-slopes/\">what staying on the slopes really means</a>.

In Grau Roig you can head out by day or by night, get a close look at Pyrenean flora and fauna in winter and relax to the sounds of the forest. This page helps you decide: guided outing or on your own, what level you need and how to book. If you are looking for specific routes, they are in our guide to <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/snowshoeing-andorra-routes/\">snowshoe routes in Andorra</a>.</p>\n<h2>Guided outing or on your own?</h2>\n<h3>With a guide</h3>\n<p>This is the simplest choice if you don&#8217;t know the area or it is your first time. In Grau Roig, <a href=\"https://www.rocroi.com/en/activities/winter/snowshoeing.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RocRoi</a> lists a 3-hour guided excursion, a 5-hour half-day outing and a 2-hour night walk with dinner in the mountains. The operator states that its guided outings include equipment. Activity portals such as <a href=\"https://www.picuco.com/es-es/activities/hacer-raquetas-grandvalira-andorra\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Picuco</a> also describe walks of around 2 hours in Grandvalira, of low to medium difficulty.</p>\n<h3>On your own</h3>\n<p>If you already have experience, you can hire snowshoes: RocRoi offers 2-hour and 5-hour rental in Grau Roig. Picuco cites up to 23 km of marked routes in Grandvalira, with elevation gains of up to 850 m, in areas such as Comellar Llarg or Estany de les Abelletes. Going without a guide means knowing how to read the terrain and the forecast, so choose a route within your ability.</p>\n<h3>As part of an activity day</h3>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https://visitandorra.com/it/sci/snowmobiles-at-grandvalira\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Andorra</a>, Grandvalira&#8217;s Gold and Premium day passes include marked snowshoe trails among other activities. It is a good option if you would like to try several snow activities.</p>\n<h2>What level and age you need</h2>\n<p>There are routes of varying difficulty, with options for all levels of ability and fitness. Walking in snowshoes is quick to learn, but more demanding than it looks, so choose by elevation gain and time, not just kilometres.</p>\n<p>Picuco recommends this type of walk for families with children aged 6 and over. It is not advised for people with reduced mobility or without suitable snow clothing. If you have younger children, ask when you book.</p>\n<h2>Season and safety</h2>\n<p>Snowshoeing is possible while there is enough snow, and the winter season in Andorra usually runs from November to April. Specific dates and the route of each outing depend on the weather and the operator, so book in advance, especially for Christmas, Easter and weekends.</p>\n<h3>Before you set off</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the forecast at <a href=\"https://www.meteo.ad/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">meteo.ad</a> and the avalanche bulletin from Andorra&#8217;s weather service, especially if you are on your own. The risk <a href=\"https://www.alto.ad/environment/2025/12/andorra-lowers-avalanche-risk-to-level-2-at\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">can vary widely</a> with altitude and slope.</li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t set out in bad weather. If the forecast worsens, change your route or your day.</li>\n<li>Tell someone your route and when you expect to be back.</li>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t know the area, go with a guide. Finding your way on a snow-covered mountain is very different from doing so in summer.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>What to bring</h3>\n<p>Warm snow clothing, waterproof walking boots or après-ski boots, gloves and sunglasses or goggles. Add water and sunscreen. At night, wear extra layers: the cold is very noticeable when you stop.</p>\n<h2>A way to walk the old paths</h2>\n<p>Snowshoes let you move as the inhabitants of these mountains once did in winter, at your own pace and with no engine noise. If you enjoy it, you can go further with a route to the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/pessons-lakea-dream-you-wont-wake-up-from/\">Pessons lakes</a>, which you can reach from the same sector, or a night of <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/stargazing-andorra/\">stargazing</a>.</p>\n<h2>How to book</h2>\n<p>Book your snowshoe outing for the days of your stay at Hotel Grau Roig, listed in the <a href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/es/es/hotels-stays/grandvalira/grau-roig-andorra-boutique-hotel-spa-5679\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MICHELIN Guide</a>.

Snowy forests, a guide leading the way and the option of driving yourself: no skiing experience is required. This page brings together everything you need to book with confidence: requirements, season, what to bring and what happens if the weather changes. If you would rather compare routes, we go into detail in our guide to <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/snowmobiling-grau-roig-andorra/\">snowmobile routes around Grau Roig</a>.</p>\n<h2>Who can get on a snowmobile</h2>\n<p>Snow activities differ by age, so it is worth checking before you book. Conditions depend on the operator and the type of outing.</p>\n<h3>To drive</h3>\n<p>The operator <a href=\"https://www.rocroi.com/en/andorra-15-minute-double-snowmobile-ride-in-grau-roig.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RocRoi</a>, which operates in Grau Roig, sets the minimum driving age at 18 and does not require previous experience. Its general page states that at that age you can drive the snowmobile without a driving licence. If you book with another company, confirm this point when you reserve. <a href=\"https://visitandorra.com/it/sci/snowmobiles-at-grandvalira\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Andorra</a> also presents the activity as aimed at over-18s.</p>\n<h3>To ride as a passenger</h3>\n<p>Younger children can enjoy the experience too, always with an adult. RocRoi accepts passengers from age 5; Visit Andorra mentions 10-minute children&#8217;s rides from age 6. The figure varies with the type of outing, so ask about your child&#8217;s exact age.</p>\n<h3>For children who want to drive</h3>\n<p>There is a mini circuit for children aged 3 to 11, who ride on their own, in the Kids Forest area of Grau Roig. It pairs well with a day at the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/imaginarium-ski-school/\">children&#8217;s ski school</a>.</p>\n<h2>What exactly you are booking</h2>\n<p>In Andorra, the <a href=\"https://www.consellgeneral.ad/fitxers/documents/lleis-2022/llei-21-2022-del-9-de-juny-d2019estacions-de-muntanya\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">mountain resorts law</a> limits motorised traffic on the ski area in winter to activities run by the resort or its concessionaires. In practice, you always head out on an organised activity along an authorised route.</p>\n<p>Options range from 15 minutes on a double snowmobile to 2 hours, with outings by day, at sunset and at night. Night rides suit anyone who wants to see the mountain differently, under clear skies or a full moon when conditions allow: according to <a href=\"https://www.rocroi.com/en/centers/andorra-grandvalira/snowmobiling.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RocRoi</a>, sunset rides start around 17:30-18:00 and night departures between 18:00 and 20:00, depending on the season and the snow.</p>\n<h3>What is usually included</h3>\n<p>RocRoi includes a qualified guide, helmet, parking and third-party liability insurance. Accident insurance is bought separately at the centre. If you book a different option or use another operator, check these conditions.</p>\n<h2>Season and bad weather</h2>\n<p>This is a winter activity and it depends on the snow. The ski season in Andorra usually runs from November to April, although the dates of each outing are shown in the operator&#8217;s calendar. Book ahead for Christmas, Easter and weekends.</p>\n<p>Outings can be changed or postponed for safety reasons in bad weather or when snow is scarce. With RocRoi, cancellation with a full refund is possible up to 5 days in advance, and up to 48 hours in advance you can change the date or request a voucher. If you are driving here, check the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/andorra-road-conditions-traffic/\">road conditions</a> first.</p>\n<h2>What to bring and where it is</h2>\n<p>Wear ski or winter clothing, ski gloves, goggles or sunglasses and snow or walking boots. On daytime outings, add sunscreen.</p>\n<p>If you book with RocRoi, the meeting point is its activity centre in Grau Roig: park at the Cubil car park and look for the beige yurt, where you check in. You are asked to arrive 15 minutes before departure.</p>\n<h2>How to book from the hotel</h2>\n<p>Let us know when you arrange your stay at Hotel Grau Roig, listed in the <a href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/es/es/hotels-stays/grandvalira/grau-roig-andorra-boutique-hotel-spa-5679\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MICHELIN Guide</a>, and we will look for the best time slot for you. You can write to info@hotelgrauroig.com or call +376 75 55 56. Tell us how many of you there are, your ages and whether anyone wants to drive.</p>\n<p>To round off your stay, the same area offers other, more leisurely activities, such as <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/dog-sledding-mushing-andorra/\">dog sledding</a> and <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/snowshoeing-andorra/\">snowshoeing</a>.

That one tells you how many cars there are; the snow one tells you the state of the road surface.</p>\n<h2>Chains and tyres in Andorra</h2>\n<p>Do you need chains? It depends on the colour of the day, but come prepared. Winter equipment is mandatory from 1 November to 15 May on all roads in the Principality when the road is partly or fully covered in snow or ice, according to the official guide. The <a href=\"https://tuneldenvalira.com/en/winter-road-safety\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Envalira tunnel</a> gives the same dates.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Winter tyres:</b> on all four wheels and with at least 3 mm of tread.</li>\n<li><b>Metal or textile chains:</b> on the driven wheels, only when the tarmac is covered in snow, and without exceeding 50 km/h. Try them before you travel, because sizes vary.</li>\n<li><b>Studded tyres:</b> only from 1 November to 15 May.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Also carry an ice scraper, a torch, warm clothing and comfortable footwear. Don&#8217;t overtake a snowplough at work and, if you become stranded, do not leave the vehicle unless you have safe shelter.</p>\n<h2>Envalira pass and tunnel</h2>\n<p>Grau Roig lies next to the crossing between Andorra and France, so this affects you if you arrive via Pas de la Casa. The <a href=\"https://tuneldenvalira.com/en/presentation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Envalira tunnel</a> is 2,879 m long, sits at around 2,050 m and avoids climbing the pass, at 2,409 m. It links the CG-2 road with the French RN22, and its west entrance is about 300 m from the Grau Roig turn-off.</p>\n<p>It is a toll road: in 2026 it costs <a href=\"https://www.alto.ad/transport/envalira-tunnel-tolls-to-rise-2-2-5-in-2026-251215\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">€8.10 for cars and €4.80 for motorcycles</a>. According to the same report, it is free if bad weather closes the pass. Check the current rate before you travel.</p>\n<h2>Routes to Grau Roig</h2>\n<p>These distances and times are a guide, calculated without queues or snow. In winter, please allow extra time.</p>\n<h3>From Spain</h3>\n<p>You can enter at the La Seu d&#8217;Urgell border, on the N-145, and cross the country on the CG-1 and CG-2. Alternatively, you can travel via Puigcerdà and enter through Pas de la Casa, which we usually recommend if you are coming from Barcelona.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Barcelona: about 190 km (2 h 45 min)</li>\n<li>Lleida: about 175 km (3 h)</li>\n<li>Huesca: about 270 km (4 h 10 min)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Before you leave, consult the <a href=\"https://www.dgt.es/conoce-el-estado-del-trafico/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DGT traffic information</a> or call 011. The DGT has its own snow colour scale, so don&#8217;t assume it matches Andorra&#8217;s.</p>\n<h3>From France</h3>\n<p>The most direct route goes through L&#8217;Hospitalet-près-l&#8217;Andorre and Pas de la Casa. Part of the journey is on a toll road, which we recommend for the distance it saves.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Toulouse: about 165 km (2 h 20 min)</li>\n<li>Montpellier: about 290 km (4 h)</li>\n<li>Bordeaux: about 405 km (4 h 45 min)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In France, check <a href=\"https://www.bison-fute.gouv.fr/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bison Futé</a>. Prefectures can close the RN320 and RN22 because of snow or restrict lorries on the RN20, as <a href=\"https://www.alto.ad/transport/french-authorities-impose-traffic-restricti-260108\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">happened in January 2026</a>.

But it is worth starting with what matters most: our research did not turn up any company based in Andorra offering paragliding flights. What you will find are well-known flying areas on both sides of the border, which you can reach on a day trip if you are staying in the country. This guide explains where they are, how to book and what to check.</p>\n<h3>What a tandem flight is</h3>\n<p>If you have never flown, a tandem flight is the one for you: you sit alongside a professional pilot, who takes care of everything. You need no experience and do not have to steer the wing. This is different from an introductory course, in which you learn to fly on your own and which lasts several days. Be clear about the difference before you book.</p>\n<h3>Flights to suit you</h3>\n<p>Operators usually offer several formats. In Organyà, for example, advertised options include first flights of 10 or 20 minutes, acrobatic flights for people with experience, three-seater family flights and outings of around 45 minutes. Choose according to what you want: a gentle first taste or a longer session.</p>\n<h3>Comfort before and after</h3>\n<p>If you are staying at Grau Roig, you can combine your flying day with a restful afternoon. The hotel spa has a heated pool, sauna and Turkish bath, and is free for guests. The hotel also features in the <a href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/es/es/hotels-stays/grandvalira/grau-roig-andorra-boutique-hotel-spa-5679\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MICHELIN Guide</a>, and there are five dining spaces to round off the day.</p>\n<h3>Safety and professionalism</h3>\n<p>As this is an activity booked with a third party, safety depends on the operator. Ask about their pilots&#8217; qualifications, their insurance and their criteria for cancelling a flight. A good professional will explain all this without hesitation.</p>\n<h3>What is usually included</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A briefing on the flight with the instructor.</li>\n<li>The necessary equipment.</li>\n<li>Photos or video with some formats: ask whether they are included or charged separately.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>The benefits of seeing the valleys from a paraglider</h2>\n<p>Flying gives you a perspective that is impossible to get from a road or a viewpoint. These are the areas to consider and what they offer.</p>\n<h3>Organyà, in Alt Urgell</h3>\n<p>This is one of the favourite flying spots in the Lleida Pyrenees, in the Catalan district next to Andorra. According to <a href=\"https://www.yumping.com/noticias-aventura/las-3-mejores-zonas-para-disfrutar-del-parapente-en-el-pirineo-leridano--c1218\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a Yumping guide published in 2019</a>, the usual take-off faces south at 813 metres, and the landing is very close by at 560 metres. <a href=\"https://www.yumping.com/parapente/organya-xperience-barcelona--e19739172\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Organyà Xperience</a> is one of the operators advertising flights in this area, with instructors from the Federació Aèria Catalana.</p>\n<h3>Ariège, on the French side</h3>\n<p>On the other side of the border, <a href=\"https://www.ariegepyrenees.com/es/ocio-deportivo/vuelos-biplaza-en-parapente-en-familia/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Parapente Family</a> has been flying since 2004 in the Ariège Pyrenees natural park, with take-offs at Moulis, Port de Lers, Cazavet or Guzet. For 2026 it advertises year-round opening, for ages 5 to 85, and recommends booking 48 to 72 hours ahead.</p>\n<h3>Àger and Vielha</h3>\n<p>If you do not mind going further, Àger is one of the best-known areas in Lleida, and tandem flights of around 25 minutes are offered in Vielha, according to the same guide. Always check current details with the operator.</p>\n<h3>Rounding off the day</h3>\n<p>When you get back, you can relax in the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/luxury-spa-hotel-andorra/\">hotel spa</a> or sit down to dinner without taking the car. In summer, the Summer Lounge adds sun loungers and an outdoor jacuzzi for up to 8 people.</p>\n<h3>Other ways of seeing Andorra from above</h3>\n<p>If what you want is the views without leaving the country, you have other options too. Visit Andorra reports <a href=\"https://visitandorra.com/it/attivita/voli-panoramici-ed-eliski\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">panoramic helicopter flights</a> of about 10 minutes at Pal Arinsal and Ordino Arcalís; we cover them in <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/helicopter-routes-andorra-pyrenees/\">our guide to helicopter routes</a>. On foot, you can climb to the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/panoramic-viewpoints-andorra/\">panoramic viewpoints</a> or the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/pessons-lakea-dream-you-wont-wake-up-from/\">Pessons lakes</a>, close to the hotel.</p>\n<h3>And if you are coming in winter</h3>\n<p>In the ski season, the obvious choice is the snow: the Grandvalira slopes are right on your doorstep. For an aerial experience, the hotel&#8217;s website mentions panoramic flights and <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/heli-skiing-andorra/\">heli-skiing</a>, subject to snow and weather. If you want to paraglide, ask the operator whether they fly on those dates.</p>\n<h2>A guide to booking your paragliding flight near Andorra</h2>\n<p>Booking is simple, but it is worth taking the steps in order so as not to waste the day.</p>\n<h3>How it fits into your stay</h3>\n<p>Work out the journey there and back, as all these places are outside Andorra. Book the flight for a day with no other fixed plans, because the weather may force a change.</p>\n<h3>What to look for in an offer</h3>\n<p>Check the actual length of the flight, not just of the whole activity. Check too where the meeting point is and whether there is transport to the take-off.</p>\n<h3>Steps to book</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Choose the area according to your dates and how much time you want to spend travelling.</li>\n<li>Contact the operator directly and tell them your age, weight, experience and any physical limitations.</li>\n<li>Ask about the rescheduling policy if flying is not possible.</li>\n<li>Confirm the meeting point, time and what you need to bring.</li>\n<li>Leave some leeway in your schedule in case the flight has to be delayed.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Wear closed-toe shoes and warm clothing: it is colder up high than down below, even in summer.</p>\n<h2>Safety tips for paragliding</h2>\n<p>Paragliding is an activity with inherent risks. These points will help you assess who you are entrusting your flight to.</p>\n<h3>1. Qualifications and equipment</h3>\n<p>Ask what qualification the tandem pilot holds and what insurance covers the flight. Check that you are given a helmet and that take-off and landing are explained to you before you set off.</p>\n<h3>2. Weather conditions</h3>\n<p>Wind and thermals dictate everything. The first hours of the day tend to be smoother, with more thermal activity in the afternoon. If the pilot decides not to fly, accept it: it is the right decision.</p>\n<h3>3. Knowledge of the area</h3>\n<p>Choose someone who flies regularly in that location. Knowing the terrain and local winds is key, especially in mountain valleys.</p>\n<h3>4. Be honest about your physical condition</h3>\n<p>Mention any injuries, back problems, pregnancy or medical condition. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor before booking.</p>\n<h3>5. If you are a pilot</h3>\n<p>If you are bringing your own equipment, do not take off without first finding out about the rules and authorised areas. We have not found an official source on take-off points in Andorra, so ask a club or the federation in your area.</p>\n<h3>6. After the flight</h3>\n<p>Drink some water and give yourself time: the excitement is more tiring than it seems. And if you are staying at Grau Roig, you have a good excuse to end the day in the spa. You can also plan the rest of the week with the <a href=\"https://www.hotelgrauroig.com/en/summer-activities-grandvalira/\">summer activities in Grandvalira</a>.</p>\n","categories":[{"id":"01807db2-6c8f-5641-a80b-77b94f7ec34e","name":"luxury","slug":"luxury","parentElement":null}],"acf":{"subtitle":"The facts, the flying areas nearby and how
