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.
