¡Hiking trails for dogs in Andorra!

Visiting Andorra with your pet is an ideal opportunity to go for walks in nature and discover wonderful landscapes with your dog. Andorra offers endless options. Today we'll tell you about three excursions that you'll love:

·Lake Montmalús

This route starts at the Grau Roig station, near the Els Llacs apartments. It is about 5 kilometers long with an elevation gain of 600 meters. You will reach an altitude of 2,700 meters and enjoy one of the most beautiful views in Andorra of the Pessons glacial cirque. And when you arrive... Bonus! Your dog can take a dip in the lake. Before setting off on the route, we recommend checking the weather forecast.

·The Iron Route

This route is easy to access and very entertaining. The path is lined with sculptures and monuments dedicated to metallurgy, an industry that was very important to Andorra until the end of the 19th century. It is located in the other valley in the parish of Ordino and runs almost entirely alongside a river. It is ideal for the whole family or for dogs that are not used to long walks.

·Llac d'Engolasters Route

A must-see when traveling with dogs in Andorra! You will find this idyllic spot just a 20-minute drive from Andorra La Vella. You will feel so comfortable that you will not want to leave!
The lake invites you to pack a picnic and a book in your backpack (or not, because there are elevated huts with books for your enjoyment), not to mention that you can go hiking, which your dog will enjoy immensely, especially if they like water! To do this trail, you should head to Encamp and search for "parkin llac d'engolasters" on your mobile GPS. You can't miss it.
