Rugged trails and sheer climbs
Rugged tarils and sheer climbs are one of the things about Andorra you should know when you come to this country. Aside from skiing, Andorra has a plethora of outdoor activities. During the summer, hikers flock to the hills around Andorran cities, notably the paths and villages above Ordino and Soldeu. Although routes are established, the terrain remains harsh and sometimes dangerous. Before you go, make sure you have enough clothing, food, drink, and maps. Given the terrain, mountain biking in Andorra is challenging, and only the most competent and insane dare descend the steep slopes. There are a couple of less harsh tunes for individuals who don't want to die. The route from Les Pardines to Engolasters Lake is quite flat and ideal for children.
If you want to put yourself and the terrain to the test, try Andorra's via ferrata, or iron roads. These paths combine hiking and climbing, with rung ladders scaling high cliffs and wire bridges crossing terrifying falls. Although the routes are popular across the Pyrenees and Alps, Andorra is one of the few areas where they are free to use. While you may simply go out and start climbing, you must have all of the necessary equipment, including helmets and harnesses. There are several firms that provide both equipment rental and guiding. Climbing expertise is not required, although it is preferred. If you're a newbie, start with an easy course like Canal de la Mora.
