The principality of Andorra in winter becomes an attraction for snow lovers and that is why the related activities that can be done in its ski resorts are quite diverse. Dog sledding are the protagonists of this entry, the "mushing" that is little by little making a name for itself among all snow fans.


The feeling of freedom in the middle of nature in the heart of the Pyrenees doing this activity is something spectacular. Clients are delighted as it is far from the popular skiing or snowboarding and the children will also have a great time enjoying the dogs. Here you we leave the best areas to practice it in Spain but today we are going to leave you with the best areas to do mushing if you travel to Andorra.

BEST AREAS TO PRACTICE MUSHING IN ANDORRA
1. Grandvalira- Grau Roig Sector

The resort par excellence of Andorra with more than 200 skiable km. There it is nothing! In the Grau Roig sector there is a route prepared at the Adventure Activities Center in which you will cross the snowy forests of Andorra. You can choose the option of bringing the sled yourself or letting the "musher" guide you around the circuit.

Quite an experience where you will make technical stops to take a photo, chat with the "musher" and ask him about the dogs.
It is not a cheap activity, but we highly recommend that you try it at least once in your life. Its price is around €40 for adults and €25 for children. Here you can see all the options we have.


2. Grandvalira - El Tarter Sector

Another sector in which to enjoy this unique sport. The El Tarter sector allows access to beautiful landscapes around the station that, like the Grau Roig sector, will leave you speechless.

On this occasion we are talking about the closed circuit of Riba Escorxada, a circuit perfectly enabled for the practice of this sport. Here we leave you with the best options to do it.

3. Vallnord

In the parishes of Massana and Ordino, we come across another of the most important ski resorts in the entire principality. The Vallnord station arose from the merger of two old ski resorts, Pal-Arinsal and Ordino-Arcalís. They consider it the station where everything is possible.

Another area where mushing becomes essential in winter.

Did you know that of the dogs that carry the sled, the first two are the ones that listen to the guide guiding the sled, while those behind are the ones that use force and are usually the strongest and largest? em>
