MUSHING IN SUMMER
For lovers of the mountains and contact with nature and the heat once established in the summer season, ski resorts reinvent themselves and offer experiences in line with this season of the year. Mushing in Andorra, for its part, leaves the winter sleds parked and becomes wheeled sleds also pulled by dogs. A real pass!
