Getting to Andorra by private car
This is one of the most common options. From Spain, take the C-14 road, passing through La Seu d’Urgell, straight to the Andorran border. From France, take the N-22 from Foix and cross the border at Pas de la Casa.
Bear in mind that in the winter months it is compulsory to carry special equipment to be able to drive on snow, such as wheel chains or snow tyres.
