Descripción del viaje

Atypical Andorra in 5 stages

Cycle touring route in stages in the Principality of Andorra, which covers the most emblematic passes in Andorra, such as the Coll de la Gallina, La collada de Beixalís or the mythical finish in Ordino Arcalís, passes frequented by the great stage races such as the Tour or La Vuelta.

In addition to these great cols, the route will allow you to discover other lesser-known but spectacular climbs with their high mountain landscapes and the most charming spots in the small Pyrenean country.

One of the particularities of this route is that we will do the stage known as “The route of the 3 nations”, where we will leave Andorra to do a part of the stage through Spanish territory and return through France, to finish in a hotel at the top of the Envalira pass, in a hotel located at an altitude of 2400 m where we can make a good recovery and improve our performance for the next stage. In addition to the ascents and descents through incredible mountain passes, you will discover the culture of this small country, such as its Romanesque churches, viewpoints and typical gastronomy of the Principality.

Distancia: 80 KM Desnivel: +2.000 M

The first stage starts from the accommodation in the direction of Ordino Arcalís (mythical finish of the Tour de France on several occasions). Once at the top, descend towards Ordino and continue towards Sant Julià de Lòria to climb the second difficulty of the day, El Coll de la Peguera. After reaching the top, it rolls downhill for a few kilometres until it reaches the Coma Bella hotel, where you can enjoy the mountain views and its swimming pool.

You'll start the descent and take a detour to the resort of Pal/Arinsal (home of the World Mountain Bike Championships and World Cups with its famous Bike Park).
