Are you traveling with your dog to Andorra? Restaurants, hotels, hiking trails, and much more to discover with your pet.

Our neighboring country is undoubtedly a great alternative for planning a vacation or getaway with your dog. Andorra is a very dog-friendly country, and we'll tell you what you need and where to stay or eat with your dog.

Documentation you need if you are traveling to Andorra with your dog!

The first thing you need to consider if you are thinking of traveling to Andorra with your pet is to make sure that it has the following documentation in order:

1. Be identified by a microchip.

2. Be properly vaccinated against rabies.

3. Have a 'Pet Passport'.
If you are traveling from a country outside the EU, you must also have a health certificate and pass a customs check when entering the European Union. If you are traveling with more than five animals, in addition to the above requirements, you will need an official health certificate called TRACES.

Hiking Routes with Dogs in Andorra!

Visiting Andorra with your pet is a perfect opportunity to take nature walks and discover wonderful landscapes with your dog. Andorra offers countless options. Today, we'll tell you about three excursions 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'll 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... a reward! Your dog can take a dip in the lake. Before starting the route, we recommend checking the weather forecast.

·The Iron Route

This one is easily accessible and very entertaining. The path is filled with sculptures and monuments dedicated to metallurgy, an important industry for Andorra until the late 19th century. It is located in the other valley in the parish of Ordino and runs mostly alongside a river. It's ideal for the whole family or for dogs not used to long walks.

·Route of Lake Engolasters

A must-stop when traveling with dogs in Andorra! You'll find this paradise just a 20-minute drive from Andorra La Vella. You'll feel so at ease that you won't want to leave!
The lake invites you to bring a picnic and a book in your backpack (or not, because there are elevated huts with books for your enjoyment), not to mention you can take the hiking route, where your dog will have a great time, especially if it loves water! To take this route, head to Encamp and search for 'parkin llac d'engolasters' on your phone's GPS. It's easy to find.

 Other incredible plans to do in Andorra with a dog!

· Visit the Village of Auvinyà

The village of Auvinya is a surprising place that leaves no one indifferent. It is thirteen years old, yet it seems over five centuries old. In 2006, the owning family, the Fiter family, built it as a medieval village where more than 20 families live. It is a place where you will find medieval towers, Romanesque bridges, and furniture acquired from antique shops. Immerse yourself with your dog in its alleys and savor a unique medieval setting at every step.

· Village of Pal

Many do not know that here lies one of the most attractive and photogenic villages in Andorra. It is a quiet, peaceful place, ideal for disconnecting. Perfect for walking through with your dog.

· Roc del Quer Viewpoint in Canillo

The Roc del Quer Viewpoint is one of those places you never forget. Panoramas that are etched into your retina forever and, in this case, are much more than that: it is an experience of being suspended in the air, as if the Pyrenees mountains embrace you. For this reason, and although it has been recently inaugurated, this viewpoint is already one of the most famous places in Canillo. An open and unbeatable place to understand the grandeur of our small country. Don't miss it!

Essential things to bring on your trip!

· Don't forget to travel with your documents in order!

Vaccination record and passport, as mentioned earlier.

· On your walks and excursions, never forget to bring water and food!

A tip is to get our furry friend used to drinking and eating from a bottle — we won't waste as much water, and it won't take up as much space as a bowl!

· In winter, protect them from the cold!

It is very important to protect the paws and pads of our dogs with boots or sports shoes, if they are going to walk on snow. They are not only protection against the cold in winter, but also protect the paws on long walks on asphalt or rocky trails.
