The best Cycling Routes in Andorra
These routes include the best roads, climbs and coffeestops in Andorra
Port de la Rabassa & Coll de la Gallina
Another local favourite: combine the climb to Port de la Rabassa with Coll de la Gallina for a solid ride. You can switch the order of climbs or mix up the ascent and descent options.
Coffee in Spain - the long edition
If you like the shorter "Coffee in Spain" route, you’ll probably enjoy this one too. Not much climbing here either, mostly a steady false flat through the valley. Stop for coffee in Bellver de Cerdanya or La Seu d’Urgell.
Plateau de Beille
For an escape into France, let's tackle the classic Plateau de Beille climb. Ride out over the Port d’Envalira and descend into Ax-les-Thermes.
From Les Cabannes, it’s a 16 km climb with an average gradient of 7.7%. Most of it’s exposed, so keep the weather in mind. On the way back, you’ll retrace your steps and take on the Port d’Envalira again — a 35 km climb at 4.8%. This one’s a serious challenge.
Bonjour France
This loop through France is a serious challenge. Start by climbing out of Andorra and descending into France. The first ascent is the Col de Pailhères, a climb often featured in the Tour de France. From there, it’s a mix of climbs and descents before heading back into Andorra via the Col de Puymorens and Port d’Envalira. It’s a truly scenic ride through the French Pyrenees.
Coll d'Ordino Coffee loop
Classic ride over the Coll d'Ordino, climbing up from Canillo and dropping down into Ordino. On the return, Gruppetta is a solid coffee stop before the final roll back into Andorra la Vella.
