Finally, for an adrenaline rush, you can try rafting or canoeing on either the Genial river or Guadalfeo, though you could also enjoy reservoirs or even the sea. Rock enthusiasts can experience canyoning in the area.
Cerler
The Pyrenees in Huesca let you experience nature differently. How? "Nordic walking" through hiking brings people closer to mountain nature.
Like in Sierra Nevada, around Cerler you can enjoy adrenaline activities such as rafting or kayaking. To see the Pyrenees' true beauty above the clouds, simply book a paragliding flight tailored to your needs.
Formigal
Similar to its sister resort Cerler, activities here are comparable. Among its valleys and meadows you'll find various hiking routes leading to the Valles viewpoint or Ibón Sabacocos, among others.
You'll also experience this Pyrenean area through other mountain activities in local canyons, perfect for canyoning or tackling a via ferrata.
Andorra
Finally, we come to the reference resort: Grandvalira. This area isn't just impressive in winter - during summer months it offers numerous guided routes focused on geological tourism and discovering stunning natural areas.
If you love cars and challenging nature behind the wheel, swap snowmobiles for quad bikes or buggies to unleash your adventurous spirit. Alternatively, for a peaceful evening, try horseback riding through Andorran landscapes.
The perfect family-friendly alternatives await!
