Andorra, in the heart of the Pyrenees
Andorra is the only country entirely located within the Pyrenees. Its entire territory is mountainous, with Comapedrosa (2,942 meters) as its highest peak. The mountain range, stretching over 400 kilometers, extends from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean and serves as a natural border between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe. Its highest point is Aneto, at 3,404 meters.
What you will find
In this section, we gather current news affecting the mountains and the people who live there. We cover snow conditions and ski resorts status, traffic updates on roads and border crossings—especially on the C-14 and access points via La Seu d'Urgell and Pas de la Casa—as well as weather alerts during severe weather.
We also dedicate space to the environment and climate change, which impacts each winter's snowpack, forests, and water resources. Additionally, we feature natural heritage sites like the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004.
A shared mountain
The Pyrenees cannot be understood without the connections among the territories that share them. We track cross-border cooperation between Andorra, Catalonia, Aragon, and Occitania, mobility and tourism projects, and decisions made on both sides of the border that affect the Andorran valleys.
