Horse riding in Andorra is characterized by its stunning mountain scenery and pristine natural environment, making it a unique and appealing destination. With an average elevation of 2,000m, the country is dissected by three narrow valleys in a Y shape that combine as the Gran Valira River that flows toward Spain. Follow scenic trails and pass picturesque villages, all the time surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and a sense of history. There are also a wide range on activities for non-riders including world-class skiing, hiking, and (of course) duty-free shopping.
