Andorra
Andorra is a tiny principality nestled in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, offering excellent skiing, dramatic mountain scenery, duty free shopping and a sophisticated dining scene. Despite its small size, Andorra delivers a distinctive mountain experience combining the best of its two neighbouring cultures.
Elect's take
"Andorra is a genuine mountain destination that offers more than many visitors expect. The skiing is excellent, the scenery is dramatic and the combination of French and Spanish influences creates a character entirely its own."
The ski resort of Grandvalira is the largest in the Pyrenees and provides excellent terrain for all levels. In summer the mountains offer outstanding hiking, cycling and mountain biking. The capital Andorra la Vella has a lively commercial centre with excellent international brands alongside local restaurants serving Catalan and French influenced dishes.
