The best of mountain hiking in Andorra
Although Andorra is only a small country, due to the fact that it is practically surrounded on all sides by the Pyrenees, it offers dozens of beautiful mountain tours. Let's take a look at the most beautiful hikes and mountain ascents you can take here
Ascent to Coma Pedrosa
Ascent to the highest mountain of Andorra
Coma Pedrosa is the highest peak of the Principality of Andorra at 2,942 meters above sea level. At the ascent you will find almost 1,500 meters of altitude and a path around a mountain lake. The views from the top are absolutely great. continue reading
Ascent to Pessons
A valley full of lakes
Pessons with a height of 2,864 m above sea level is a beautiful mountain. However, it would not be particularly special in itself, there are countless similar mountains. What makes climbing this mountain an exceptional experience is above all the valley full of lakes, around which the hiking trail leads to the top. The described tour takes about 6 hours. It could certainly be done faster, but if the weather is good, it would be a shame to hurry unnecessarily. continue reading
