Andorra! There’s Life Beyond Skiing

Yes, skiing is the king of winter sports—no argument there—but there’s life beyond the slopes, especially in Andorra, where possibilities multiply. If your plans include travelling to Andorra this winter and, say, you don’t ski or simply dislike it, pay attention: I’m about to show you some snowy alternatives that’ll pique your interest (at least one of them!). 



While your friends ski, you can enjoy this tiny country in other ways. Less conventional but equally thrilling plans. Let’s go!

1. Snowmobiles – Rev It Up!

Who hasn’t heard of snowmobiles? We all know them, but few have been lucky enough to ride one. These are proper beasts, and for motorbike enthusiasts, they’re twice the fun. Choose from daytime or nighttime routes of varying durations and prices. It’s a safe activity, and you won’t interfere with skiers or snowboarders.


  
Prices start at just €30, so if you’re keen to try something new, here are all the options available in the Principality for Snowmobile adventures. Highly recommended! 




2. Mushing – Dog-Sledding!

The perfect synergy between nature and animals. It’s probably the closest you’ll get to feeling like "Santa Claus" for a day. Dog-sledding, or mushing, is another option to experience in Andorra—no trip to the North Pole required. 



Gliding through the Principality’s vast snowy landscapes behind a team of dogs—warning—can be addictive. You can ride seated or standing, even take the reins and learn the commands. This experience starts at around €30, so check out all the options here for a sled-powered Andorran adventure. 100% must-try! 




3. Snowshoeing – A Different Way to Explore! 

If you love hiking and mountain treks, snowshoeing is a must. These "gadgets" strapped to your feet make traversing icy or snow-covered terrain a breeze, offering a deeper connection to Andorra’s forests and vistas. 



Cool, right? If you’re game, prices start at just €8 for this fantastic, chilled-out activity. Browse the options here. 

4. Helicopter Ride – The Pyrenees from Above! 

For those without a fear of heights, this is a stellar alternative to experience the mountains differently. A helicopter ride lets you survey the entire country (it’s not huge) and soak in unique aerial views. 



Gazing down at snowy slopes, towering peaks, and breathtaking panoramas—trust me—these are sights you’ll rarely witness in life. Logically, this activity is pricier, but worth every penny. From around €140, you can hop in a chopper and soar over the Principality at your leisure.
Explore the options here. Dare to try it?


5. Buggies – 4x4 Thrills!

Finally, we circle back to motorised fun with these rugged 4-wheel machines. Long excursions or short spins—your call! 



Here’s a list of companies offering buggy fleets to explore snowy (or not) landscapes behind the wheel of these 4x4 vehicles. Prices start at roughly €70.

Now that you know the alternatives, will you really just wait at the hotel for the slopes to close? Experience Andorra differently.
