Route through 6 essential things to do in Andorra with children

Our route through the 6 essential things to do in Andorra with children in summer on a trip through Andorra in a motorhome or campervan

Now you will tell us that we have made a mistake here, that it is not part of the Catalan Pyrenees, because you are right! But we wanted to spend a few days in Andorra, the country of the Pyrenees, and discover beyond Calle Meritxell and Caldea.

 So it was! We carry out different excursions that we detail below as essential for a route through Andorra with children:

  1. In search of the Tamarros
  2. Andorran parks
  3. The Roc de en Quer viewpoint
  4. The Lake d'Engolasters
  5. The Tristaina Lakes
  6. Climb to the highest peak in Andorra, Comapedrosa, but leaving the children at the base!
And now we will explain our entire route through these 6 essential things to do in Andorra with children in summer on a trip through Andorra in a camper van with children in detail for each of these destinations.

1 The search for the Tamarros, the first stop on our route through the 6 essential things to do in Andorra with children in summer

In search of the Tamarros! 

You may wonder what Tamarros are or perhaps you are already one of those who already know them and have spent all the gasoline in Andorra!

For those of you who do not know them, we will give you a summary.

The tamarros are wooden figures located in the 7 Andorran parishes.

You have to go find them. They are usually near some special place and you don't need to get too far from the vehicle.

Children have to mark a book that they give you to @turismeandorralavella and return it sealed.

Then they give you a detail (A magnet, which is not very worth it, but the little ones liked doing the activity, maybe next year they could give a discount voucher for gasoline and the kilometers made during the investigation of the Tamarros).

2 Andorran parks

Andorran parks are great, if you go with children they will surely enjoy these spaces, they are adapted to all ages and well cared for. 

There are parks like this in all Andorran parishes. You will surely discover it and find your favorite.

Undoubtedly the second essential of this route because of what to do in Andorra with children in summer.

3 The Roc d'en Quer Viewpoint

El Mirador Roc de en Quer, was one of the visits that we wanted to do, since we had never been and they had spoken very well to us!

There are panoramic views and enjoy the feeling of flying or being suspended in the air.

It is located in the parish of Canillo. Do not miss it as an essential part of your route through the 7 places to do in Andorra with children in summer.

4 Lake Engolasters in a motorhome or camper with children

Another place where we have already been and we like to return is Lake Engolasters, this time we accessed the lake through the parking lot closest to the lake (N 42 ° 31'3.0072 ”E 1 ° 34'15.672”). 

The other time we had accessed the lake through the Camino de las Fuentes route, a highly recommended route full of geocachers. Once in the lake, you can go around until you reach the water park where children can experiment with water and different environments to see how the water circulates.

Lakes of Tristaina by motorhome or camper, 5th stop on our route through French Cerdanya in a motorhome with children

Route through the Lakes of Tristaina, a very cool route to do with children, which starts from the parking lot of the Ordino ski resort (N 42 ° 37'53.0436 «E 1 ° 29'4.66801»). 

During the excursion you can see the three lakes of Tristaina. If you want to do it, we recommend that you do it early because it is a bit crowded. 

For the bravest we recommend you go up to Pico de Tristaina where you can enjoy spectacular views. 

Strolling through Tristaina you can enjoy horses, cows, frogs and some goats.

6 Climb the highest peak in Andorra but without children! The Comapadrosa

Climb to the highest Peak in Andorra, Comapedrosa! 

This excursion must be done without children and we highly recommend it. 

The parking available to make the more traditional route, it is forbidden to park motorhomes and for this reason we modified the route and went to spend the night in the parking lot of the Arinsal ski slopes (N 42 ° 34'19.7544 «E 1 ° 28 ' 18.5988 «) and start the route from there. 

The route is longer but it was worth it. The views from the top of Comapedrosa are spectacular and the excursion is very cool.

Where to spend the night in Andorra in a motorhome or campervan

To spend the night in Andorra we have been in different places, we started at Camping Valira, located very close to the center on foot, where we were able to do laundry and take long showers with hot water. Oh and heated pool! 

We have also spent the night in different ski resorts such as Ordino, a highly recommended space where we can do routes and where in addition to enjoying the landscapes we could enjoy the company of a group of horses that came to say hello. A space that we fell in love with!

We also did one night in this parking lot near Engolasters Lake (N 42 ° 30'31.8636 ”E 1 ° 33'49.7664”).

    Thank you very much for telling us about your holidays, we are getting many ideas! When you climbed to the top of Comapedrosa together, did you leave the children with a family member or is there a place where you can leave them, child care… thank you very much!!
