Product Info

Three countries in one day: the tour leaves Barcelona by road for the mountain village of Bagà, passing views of the rugged peaks of the Cadí-Moixeró National Park.

In Bagà, pick up a pastry, sandwich or coffee at a local bakery or café, then follow your guide on a short walking tour before free time in the village.

Cross into France for a stop in Ax-les-Thermes, a historic spa town. Your guide points out the natural thermal fountains, some suitable for soaking your feet, and you have free time to relax in the warm water or browse artisan shops selling regional cheeses and cured meats.

The route then crosses the Pyrenees over the Pas de la Casa pass, with photo stops, and pauses in a traditional mountain valley for a short walk showing how life in Andorra once was, before descending to Andorra la Vella, the capital. The return to Barcelona takes a different road through gorges, farmland, rivers and lakes, with a final stop to stretch your legs before reaching the city at around 7:30pm.
