Summer is here, and we are swapping our vin chaud for a nice glass of something chilled and to keep with our Catalan roots our bottle of choice is always Andorran. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that Andorra is situated between the two great wine producing countries of Spain and France, or that the wine comes straight off the hills where we like to spend our winters on, but Andorran wine has a special flavour and is a tipple to be celebrated and enjoyed.

We thought we would share the love and introduce you to our favourite Andorran wine producers who create some award winning bottles that you need to try.

Andorra is a secret in the Pyrenees.

What happens during the summer is a question often asked by our winter clients – “everything” is my answer!  There is something for everyone to enjoy.  Keen hikers can enjoy some of the challenging hiking within the area of Arinsal, including the highest peak in Andorra which stands at 2942m in the heart of the Comapedrosa natural park.  You could visit UNESCO World Heritage site Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley less than 30 minutes away from Arinsal.  There is a huge variety of walks from a leisurely strolls to the most challenging of treks with overnight stay in mountain huts.

Perhaps you’re looking for an adrenaline rush as you enjoy our scenic mountains; well, mountain biking is one of the most popular activities in the area.  The Vallnord bike park is already open each weekend until 20th June when it opens full time for the summer season until 13th September.  The Soldeu Bike Park is open from 27th June until 27th September.
