Christmas in Andorra: discover all the activities for this holiday

with children,  Culture & Art in Andorra,  events in AndorraPosted on

We tell you how Christmas is celebrated in Andorra because, although the situation is not ideal, magic and tradition cannot be missing at this time of year. During this month of December and the beginning of January you will find different Christmas activities, discover them here!

 

Walk through the illuminated streets

The streets become open stages with different decorations and lights in each parish. Walk around and discover all its hidden corners. In Escaldes there are the imaginary worlds of Christmas, a free walk through the streets of the parish where you will come across fun Christmas scenes. The little ones will like them, but the older ones will feel like children again. And the best thing of all: there is no curfew in Andorra, so as long as you wear your mask and respect the stipulated prevention measures, nobody will set a time for you to return to your appartment.

 

There is no Christmas… without a traditional market

In Andorra la Vella the giant Waterwheel, travelling shows or attractions for children are part of the activities planned to make these dates more enjoyable. In addition, at the Christmas market you can enjoy typical products and other “made in Andorra” products such as sausages, cheese or honey. You will also be able to drink hot wine and accompany it with something to eat while you make a stop after shopping.

 

The Nativity scene in Canillo: a Christmas attraction in Andorra

It is worth to go through it and discover scenes from the Nativity composed of life-size figures. There are more than 200 and they are spread all over the village. Here you can breathe Christmas all over the place 😉.

 

The most awaited visit

This year, due to the circumstances we are experiencing, Father Christmas and the Three Wise Men will arrive at all the parishes, but they will not make great parades. They will receive the little ones although they have prepared magic mailboxes in which to leave letters and the help of magic Elves and pages a few days before. 

 

We start the year with music and theatre

Another tradition that cannot be missed is the New Year’s concert that takes place in the national auditorium in Ordino. Also very typical of this time of year is the play “Els Pastorets” which takes place in Sant Julià de Lòria.

 

During the holidays it is also a time to rest

After a tour through the colourful and lively Christmas return to your appartment to regain your strength. Find your little oasis of peace surrounded by mountains and stop by the spa’s jacuzzi while the kids continue to burn off energy in the children’s playground.

 

Like the rest of the year this holiday will also be different, but here you will find everything you need to spend the Christmas holidays in Andorra. Are you joining us?

We detail the causes of cancellation related to the Covid-19.

Cool activities to make the most of your week

And finally we give you 7 fun ideas to do every day of your holiday:

  • Try the Canillo Family Park zip line: release adrenaline while enjoying the views of Grandvalira and flying over Lake Fron. Choose: sitting, stretching or tandem with your child.
  • Hire a mushing excursion in the forest and discover the best snowy landscapes of Grau Roig or El Tarter, on a sledge pulled by dogs. This is one of the activities that both young and old alike enjoy most. 
  • The Tobotronc de Naturlandia is the largest nature slide in the world (5.3 km) and we have it in Andorra. You will love the descent, but you will also enjoy the climb.
  • Reserve at least one midday or one night to treat yourself in one of the restaurants of Andorra, where you will be delighted with the Andorran, international or exotic gastronomy.
  • Spend an afternoon in Caldea: if you go with children in the Thermoludic, or as a couple in Inúu. The panoramic lagoon is a must.
  • Ski or snowboard a whole week from a different sector every day. Between the Grandvalira and Vallnord resorts you won’t have to repeat a run if you don’t want to.
  • And if you are a big fan of skiing: experience night skiing at Pas de la Casa or get up early to enjoy the first snow from 8am to 9am.

Now with our more flexible cancellation conditions you can book with complete confidence and just think about how you are going to enjoy your winter holidays.Â
