our apartments 10 de June de 20202 de September de 2020

As summer approaches, this year more than ever we are hungry for holidays. After an atypical spring, in which we have spent most of our time locked at home, it’s time to go out and breathe some fresh air. You deserve it!

The best destination for these holidays is Andorra. Where else will you be able to enjoy the mountain in all its splendour, nature and pure air? Not to mention the pleasure of being able to sleep soundly without the oppressive heat of other areas.

So, if you want your stay to be an unforgettable experience, we are going to tell you five reasons why this summer, definitely, you have to stay in holiday apartments like Els Llacs Mountain Apartments.

Enjoy a more flexible schedule

You don’t have to keep an eye on the time all day for breakfast or dinner. You decide what time you want to eat and you can quietly enjoy the after-dinner meal and the coffee.

All the comforts of home

In our tourist apartments you have everything as if you were at home. You don’t need to carry anything, since we’ ve put it there.They are 100% equipped with electrical appliances, all the kitchen utensils you need and bed and bath linen.

As we said, you can eat at the time you want and the most important thing: what you want. You make your own shopping and you can keep it comfortably in the fridge or in the kitchen cupboards. If you follow a special diet, you don’t have to worry as you will continue to eat as you like, even if you are on holiday.

If you travel with very young children or babies it is the best option to follow their routines and to have more space to have all their accessories.

Your home away from home

Another advantage of staying in an apartment is that you have different areas in the same accommodation. Each one has its own space and you enjoy more privacy. If you travel with children you can put them to sleep earlier in another room while the adults can continue doing other activities.

Avoid the common areas

In the apartments themselves there are no common areas, such as restaurants or free buffets. That makes more difficult to cross paths with other clients and so, social distancing is guaranteed. So you will avoid queuing or having more restrictive schedules in this regard. For your safety and that of all of us, we have designed new protocols to prevent the coronavirus in our mountain apartments. You can read the prevention measures we apply following the health recommendations here.

Animals are welcome

We are a Pet Friendly Lodge, so you don’t have to worry about where you leave your pet while you are on vacation, we accept your pets here! All you have to do is to follow a few simple rules of coexistence.

Extra advantage: the situation

The Llacs Mountain Apartments are located in the middle of nature surrounded by mountains, with impressive views. In the heart of the Grandvalira ski area, from here you have good opportunities for excursions.

Now that you know why it is better to stay in tourist apartments, you only have to book your holiday in Andorra.

Summer activities in Andorra

We are not the only ones thinking about opening. There are other tourism establishments that are considering operating this summer with the relevant security measures to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

At the moment, these are the first news we have received and of which we are beginning to speak: this summer we will be able to enjoy Mon(t) Magic in Canillo, Soldeu Golf, located in Grandvalira and the Bike Park in Pal in Vallnord station.

For the moment, the activities and timetables have not been confirmed. But they are starting to talk about security measures.

A limited volume of people will be considered. For example, to get on the chairlifts and cable cars, the limit is set at 2 people (or more if they belong to the same family) and they will be disinfected after each use.There is also talk of making reservations and payments by internet to avoid physical contact and thus encourage minimum distance. In addition, from our apartments, at the time of booking your stay, we can also manage the tickets for these activities, as soon as we have more information. 😉

Another of the activities to be opened is the Palau de Gel, located in Canillo, where preventive actions will also be implemented to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

And if you wish, you can also take a bath in Caldea this summer. The centre is also working to adopt major safety measures in its thermal waters, as well as in all its facilities.

Not to mention that these activities in Andorra are perfectly complemented by excursions to the mountains.

Don’t forget that our tourist apartments are very well located, at the door of Grandvalira in the middle of the mountain. They are ideal for hikking in the open air and enjoying 100% of nature and are suitable for all levels!

Opening of borders

The borders with neighbouring countries have been closed during the entire coronavirus quarantine period. As of June 1, the border with France will be opened and the Spanish border is expected to open in early July. In order to allow tourists to travel to Andorra, work is underway to make it a domestic destination in both countries.

Andorra is a safe country to travel to

As in any other country, Andorra was also quarantined by completely stopping its activities and confining the entire population to their homes. It also began a gradual deconfinement in which, little by little, economic activities and businesses were resumed. In mid-April, measures were taken to ensure that citizens began to enjoy one hour every two days in the open air, with specific time slots. And so, until June 1 when these restrictions were lifted and the vast majority of economic activities were resumed.

On the other hand, it has pioneered a study of antibodies to the entire population.

As general safety measures all people must wear a mask in their daily life, as well as gloves and disinfectant gel for people facing the public, among other measures according to their activity.

In Els Llacs Mountain Apartments we will also open with all possible safety measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19. You can check them out here. See you very soon!

Pet friendly apartments in Andorra

You can stay with your pet in all our holiday apartments. They are big and spacious enough to be with the whole family and your furry four-legged. They also have a terrace or balcony overlooking the ski slopes. During your stay in the holiday apartments your pets can walk around freely but in the common areas we ask that they are tied up or kept in their kennels.

Places where you can walk your dogs

In Andorra, contact with nature is on offer all year round. You will find many easily accessible paths where you can go with your pet. As in the way of Les Pardines that goes from Els Cortals de Encamp to Engolasters lake or the “Recs” located in the capital. At the foot of the pet friendly apartments, in Bordes de Envalira, there are also areas where you can go for a walk which is without doubt a good way to discover unique natural spots. In winter, you will have a great time playing with the snow and in summer walking in the mountains or crowning a peak if you are a mountain lover. The city centre, with its pedestrian areas, also allows you to take a walk with your pet and stop for a drink on one of the terraces.

Rules to bear in mind when you travel with a pet:

In order to make the coexistence with the rest of the guests pleasant, we have set up some simple rules to be followed inside the holiday apartments and in the common areas you will find here.

To travel to Andorra your pet must be identified with a microchip, vaccinated against rabies and have a current “Passport for pets”. For more information please follow the link of the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Andorra where you will find all the information of your interest.

You only have to let us know at the time of booking, so that we can take it into account and arrange it so that the whole family feels at ease. Here we are pet friendly!
