Activities to experience Christmas in Andorra
Beyond skiing, Andorra offers a wide variety of Christmas activities for the whole family, while the streets are lit up with lights and decorations. Here are some of the things you’ll find during your visit over the festive season:
Canillo Brilla and monumental nativity scene
At dusk, ‘Canillo Brilla’ lights up with a trail of lights and music that invite you to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. The experience is completed with a carousel and a small market with food trucks and craft products.
Afterwards, head to the centre of the village to enjoy the monumental nativity scene with almost 200 life-size figures representing different scenes from the Nativity, scattered throughout the streets and corners of Canillo.
The Christmas village
As every year, the capital is filled with Christmas spirit with its traditional Christmas market, where sweet aromas, crafts and live music come together. This year, there is also a little train that runs through the corners of the village, making the ride an even more special experience for the whole family.
The magic circle of Ordino
The parish of Ordino is launching a fantasy tour of its villages that transports young and old alike to a fairy-tale world. This experience, featuring themed scenes and decorations, combines nature, tradition and fantasy in a Pyrenean setting that looks like something out of a postcard.
