My two daughters and I joined the May 9th to 16th, 2026, hiking in Andorra Exodus trip. We were based in Canillo, 20 minutes north of the capital, Andorra la Vella and stayed in the Hotel ‘Roc Meler’. The hotel featured a huge Irish Pub with a bar menu, a pool and spa area, and a dining floor. Large buffet breakfasts plus a bag lunch were included. The hotel is built on a very steep slope so entry was on the top floor with all other floors down. Interestingly the individual room temperature is controlled by the front desk. We found this hotel to be very comfortable and the spa was very rewarding after a days hiking, it cost extra to go to the spa but it was so worth it!
We had 5 days of wonderful hiking. Steep mountains mean, a lot of steep trails. This last winter saw the most snow in 30 years so three of the hikes on the itinerary were not possible. Our guide Alfonso did an excellent job of finding alternate routes. A gentler day was a 13 km walk down a river valley seeing the local houses, farms and an old iron mine on the way. We stopped mid way for coffee, and finished up with beer in Ordino. Every hike offered something different and the scenery was incredible. The high lakes were still frozen. All five hiking days were sunny in the morning with either snow or rain by dinner time after we had finished. We thoroughly enjoyed each day and if our guide didn’t tell us, we wouldn’t have known the itinerary had changed.
Our “day off’ was saved for the last day due to the forecast. We had lunch in Andorra la Vella and spent the afternoon at the spa. The city itself is modern, clean and offers duty free shopping. Even though it is on the pricey side, I highly recommend you try the Caldea spa if you are ever in Andorra. Overall, our week was “moderate” with a few challenging parts because of hiking on snow. Local transportation was by taxi. The pick up and drop off to Barcelona airport worked beautifully. We had a fantastic week and highly recommend booking this trip!
Most Inspirational Moment
The highlight hike of the week was pic de Casamanya (2740 m) which we did on the second day. A light dusting of snow from the previous night added to the beauty of this hike. It was sunny and warm at the top and by turning 360 degrees, you can see all of Andorra! This hike is normally saved as a grand finale of the week.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide Alfonso was very knowledgeable, well organized, patient and responsive to the needs and ability levels of the group. My two daughters are in their early 20’s and absolutely loved this trip. Alfonso was thrilled to have their energy, and made the trip a lot of fun for them. It was a pleasure to spend a week with him.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you are thinking of booking this trip early in the season like we did, there is the possibility of snow on the ground. Come prepared with layers, rain jackets, a hat, etc. With the variable terrain, we would also highly recommend bringing hiking poles.
Andorra is a beautiful country and the Exodus trip perfectly captures the essence of it via the organised walking trips. It is a mountainous area, as such, be prepared for walking at higher altitudes and a reasonable amount of uphill sections, as such, a good personal physical condition is recommended. You will be rewarded with spectacular scenery and panoramic views of the area. Alfonso is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area and attentive to the needs of the group with impeccable organisation to ensure everyone gets the maximum enjoyment from the trip. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary then I would highly recommend this trip.
