Cycling in Andorra: The Best Routes Andorra Has To Offer

If you love cycling and nature, you can’t miss this post on our KOKONO blog! 

Spring is gradually arriving in Andorra and the snow is disappearing from the mountains. The green of the vegetation takes centre stage and the climate becomes the best ally for cycling in Andorra for both lovers and professionals. 

Andorra has 21 mountain passes and an infinite number of road routes for cycling enthusiasts. The altitude of this country allows you to enjoy a good workout with unbeatable views.

The cycling culture in Andorra is very widespread, so it is also the ideal place to enjoy cycling as a spectator. The good condition of the asphalt roads and their varying degrees of difficulty mean that the Tour de France, the Vuelta a España and the Volta a Catalunya choose Andorra’s mountain passes for some stages. 

All in all, too many reasons to rent a Andorra Vacation Rental if you´re into cycling and other activities in nature!
