Andorra National Parks, National Parks Guy

Andorra flag, National Parks GuyAndorra is Squeezed between France and Spain like a tooth paste tube, it’s high peaks push up into the sky to form amazing vistas and beautiful landscapes. Andorra takes conservation seriously though. It is one of the smallest countries in Europe, yet it manages to preserve 3 National Parks with a variety of wildlife and habitats.

Andorra is also a country of extremes, weather wise. In winter, thick blankets of snow fall on the high mountains, the tallest being 2 942m high – Alto de Comapedrosa – and in summer the mountains are burnt with the hot sun, making this an amazing contrast in the different seasons. Since Andorra is part of the Pyrenees, these peaks are favourites among climbers and the national parks are a draw for tourists in both summer and winter.

Andorra seems to have a lot going for it. Although access is mainly by bus or car, if you are a keen skier or walker/climber you would have heard of this country. Over 90% of the land is still covered by trees and also holds a unique UNESCO site to visit too. When you are next near Andorra, perhaps a short visit may just be worth the effort!
