Each day offers a different natural wonder: stroll through the botanical haven of Sorteny Nature Reserve, home to over 700 species of flora; traverse the majestic Andorran valleys, including the picturesque Vall de Riu and the Incles Valley; and explore the glacial wilderness of the UNESCO-listed Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley.

day 1Join trip at Barcelona Airport. Drive to Soldeu

Our trip begins at terminal 2B of Barcelona-El Prat Josep Tarradellas Airport (BCN) at 3.30pm, the latest your flight can arrive is 3pm. Please note that depending on which terminal you arrive into, you might need to take the airport shuttle bus to terminal 2B. We'll travel together as a group to the small alpine village of Soldeu in the heart of the Andorran Pyrenees, a three-and-a-half hour drive. A popular ski resort, lying 1,710 metres/5,611 feet above sea level, Soldeu is an engaging mix of traditional rural inns, converted farmhouses and lively bars, providing us with an ideal base for our Pyrenean adventure. After settling into our hotel, we'll hopefully have time for a short orientation walk around the village before dinner. Our base for the week is Hotel Soldeu Maistre, centrally located in Soldeu. This family-run hotel is furnished in the local Catalan style. Built to replicate the mountain lodge look with a stone and wood-panelled exterior the hotel is in keeping with its surroundings. If your flight arrives earlier in the day, you might have time to wait ahead of our group transfer to Soldeu. You can make the most of this time by exploring Barcelona with its many attractions such as 'La Boqueria' food market, Las Ramblas boulevard lined with bars and restaurants and not to mention the many incredible architectural works of Antoni Gaudi. The Barcelona metro line L9 Sud connects terminals T1 and T2 with the city of Barcelona every seven minutes and takes 32 minutes. Bags can be stored at the airport's left luggage for around 10EUR per piece of luggage.
