A Romantic Weekend in Andorra in February
Visiting Andorra in Winter
With St. Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s no better time to plan an Andorra weekend getaway and experience the romantic side of Spain. After my epic road trip through the Pyrenees, I’ve been dreaming of returning to this mountain range.
So, together with my husband, we planned a child-free trip to spend a Valentine’s Day weekend in Andorra. Why Andorra you’d ask? – Mainly because the Pyrenees is one of my favorite travel destinations in Spain. Also, my previous Pyrenees weekend took place in Baqueira Beret. Andorra felt like the perfect choice to enjoy the snow near Spain while escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Although this was my third trip to Andorra, it was filled with romantic experiences that made it feel like a brand new adventure.
Andorra in February
February is a wonderful month for romantic travel experiences and unique Valentine’s getaways. Andorra an excellent destination for adventurous couples due to its unmatched location in the Pyrenees and top-rated ski slopes. Even though my husband isn’t into skiing, we still had a fantastic time spending two days in Andorra.
I particularly enjoy visiting Andorra in February because it offers a winter wonderland experience, yet there are fewer travelers compared to the holiday weeks in December and January. In February, the average temperatures in Andorra typically range from about -2°C to 7°C (28°F to 45°F), varying depending on the specific location and elevation, especially in ski resorts, where it can be colder. During our weekend in Andorra, the temperatures at the ski slopes were around -10°C to -15°C (14°F to 5°F).
Is Andorra worth visiting?
Andorra is a beautiful and tiny country, landlocked in the Pyrenees mountain range between Spain and France, it is definitely worth visiting. It is the sixth smallest nation in Europe and is known for its low VAT rates and world-class ski resorts. In fact, many travelers visit Andorra from Barcelona even for just a day. However, a weekend in Andorra is a much better option to fully enjoy the area. I have already visited Andorra three times, but I will definitely return more in the future.

Things to do in Andorra in February on a Weekend Getaway
Waking up to the mountain views

The best things in life are often quite simple. There’s no better morning for me than one where you wake up in a new place surrounded by inspiring mountain landscapes, excited about your upcoming travel plans. There’s no way you can start the day off on the wrong foot with a morning like this.
While in my Andorra Travel Guide, I have already confessed to you trying to live in different places during my trips to Andorra, this time I enjoyed it more than ever. Abba Xalet Suites Hotel, where we stayed, was located in the small town of La Massana, only 11km from the country´s capital of Andorra la Vella. Staying here felt so quiet and serene.
Taking Funicamp Cable Car in Andorra

Even non-skiers can visit one of Europe’s top ski resorts, Grandvalira, and enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the Pyrenees. In the small town of Encamp, you’ll find the Funicamp Cable Car, which takes you 2,502 meters above sea level in just 25 minutes. The ticket for non-skiers costs 15 euros and includes two rides (up and back), valid for the same day only. We took the cable car around 3 p.m. and found it completely empty. However, on our return trip, as the slopes were closing, it was packed with skiers. Once we reached the top, we headed to the nearest restaurant, Solanelles, to enjoy hot chocolate with breathtaking views.
Living a new adventure together in Andorra

What I really like about Andorra is the wide variety of adventurous activities available in both summer and winter. You’ll be spoiled for choice: dog sledding, snowmobiling, snow tubing, and Magic Gliss in Grandvalira, as well as ice skating at Palau de Gel d’Andorra, cross-country skiing, Tobotronc, and other winter adventures at Naturlandia Amusement Park. For couples ready to step out of their comfort zone, embarking on a new adventure together will definitely feel like a must-do on any Andorra weekend.
Getting each other gifts in Andorra

Due to its low taxes Andorra is one of the ultimate shopping destinations in Europe. Although you can take products out of the country up to a value limit of 900 euros without having to pay customs duties. Read more in my Andorra Travel Guide.
Av. Meritxell, c.Bonaventura, and av.Carlemany – all these are the main shopping streets in the city of Andorra La Vella. In Andorra, you can easily surprise each other with a few souvenirs. Or what´s even better – find for each other a new sweater or dress. I’ve recently read in one of the psychology books that these might end up being the best lovey-dovey gifts ever. A new dress from your partner sends a powerful message, especially the one he’d chosen with love and inspiration. It literally says to you I am with you, I am hugging you, I support you. Therefore, this year there is a new tradition we’ve established with my husband – for some holidays we make each other clothing gifts to send those virtual hugs. With its large number of shops, Andorra is a perfect place to find gifts during your romantic getaway.
Planning a SPA day in Andorra

One of the most romantic things to do in Andorra is to visit a spa with your loved one. With its spectacular natural setting and a wealth of active sports, it’s no wonder that Andorra is a popular wellness destination for Spaniards. After a day filled with winter activities, there’s nothing quite like soaking in a hot tub to relax and unwind. Many hotels in Andorra feature their own spa centers, but one of the most popular attractions is Caldea Spa, the largest spa in Southern Europe. Caldea Spa includes a family-friendly area and an adults-only section called Inúu Spa. However, I have mixed feelings about Caldea, as it can become quite crowded in winter, making it feel more like a water park than a tranquil spa. Nevertheless, we had a fantastic time at Caldea during our trip, mainly because we arrived early at 9 a.m., allowing us to fully enjoy the facilities without the crowds.

Enjoying dinner in la borda

A must-experience in Andorra is having dinner in a borda. A borda was once an annex of many local high mountain houses, where grass and cattle were kept. Nowadays, Andorra has at least 20 restored bordas that have been transformed into beautiful restaurants. They are the best places to enjoy the local vibe and try traditional foods. Andorra’s cuisine combines French and Catalan influences.You can save on IG my list of Andorran typical foods to know what exactly to order in Andorra´s bordas.

Having an art moment at Carmen Thyssen Museum of Andorra

Art lovers can’t miss the Carmen Thyssen Museum of Andorra. It is such a tiny and charming museum, and they update the exhibition every year. Around 12:45 PM, we were the only ones inside. I loved it so much! The audio guide featured a song option for every artwork, created by local artists. I would listen to the explanation first, then turn on the song and marvel at the painting or sculpture. This felt like a truly unique way to experience the dialogue between art and music.
Enjoying a spiritual moment together in Andorra

IIf you want to share a spiritual moment together as a couple, don’t miss The Sanctuary of Meritxell Basilica, the most important religious temple in Andorra, renowned for its unique architecture designed by the celebrated Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill. The sanctuary is home to the image of Our Lady of Meritxell, the country’s patron saint, as well as statues of other Andorran saints. Visitors can also explore the hall, where they can view miniatures of all the Romanesque churches in Andorra.
Sharing a cheese fondue in Andorra

While fondue may not be the most traditional dish in Andorra, it has become a must-try on all of my winter trips. The country boasts several restaurants that specialize in cheese dishes, including fondue and raclette. Sharing a delicious comfort foods together is undeniably an amazing weekend plan for Andorra in February. We ordered a fondue at Refugi Alpi, while the food was good, the service was quite average. Another popular alternative is Cheese’s Art Andorra.
