Anyone visiting Andorra in the winter should definitely go to Grandvalira Ski Resort. The largest ski resort in the Pyrenees, it boasts over 200 km of pistes, snow parks and freeride zones for snowboarders and skiers. La Massana is a beautiful town in Andorra’s centre. Old buildings abound in the city, shops are modest and alleyways are charming. Visiting the Romanesque church of Sant Climent de Pal, read about the town's rich religious history. You will want to see this, too. Andorra, home to more than 60 peaks over 2,000m, makes for a hiker’s dream.
