Andorra hiking vacation

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION
We are committed to offering low-impact vacations, which benefit the countries and communities we visit, as well as our travelers and the natural environment. We believe in the transformative power of travel and aim to minimise our ecological footprint by selecting eco-friendly accommodations, encouraging waste reduction, and supporting sustainable transportation options where possible.

This itinerary encourages low-impact exploration through guided walks along established mountain trails, allowing you to experience Andorra’s landscapes on foot. Staying in a centrally located hotel in Escaldes-Engordany provides convenient access to local attractions, shops and restaurants, helping reduce the need for additional transport. Our use of an experienced local guide also supports more informed and responsible travel.

Your hotel, Hotel Nexta Escaldes, offers a buffet restaurant with potential vegetarian options, although vegan meals should be confirmed with the hotel in advance.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
We operate a ‘leave no trace’ policy in national parks, archaeological sites, monuments, and other sensitive areas like beaches and coastlines; these should be treated with the ultimate respect to maintain them for future generations. Our tour leaders are trained to promote this message to our customers during the trip.

This walking vacation showcases Andorra’s diverse natural environments, from the glacial lakes of Tristaina and Circ de Pessons to the peaceful valleys and dramatic peaks of the Pyrenees. Walking along established trails encourages appreciation of the landscape while helping limit disturbance to sensitive mountain habitats. We can observe local wildlife, discover mountain flora, and experience the importance of preserving Andorra’s natural beauty for future generations.
