Driving up to the Vallnord ski resort in the summer

Entering Andorra from the Spanish border in the south, you cross the whole country to the north to reach the ski resort in Vallnord. It is not so far but finding the right road is another matter.

On our way we made some stops and went for a short hike. The weather was changing rapidly. Clouds were entering the mountain range. The ski lift was deserted. At the top, our car was shaking under the heavy winds and we were extremely prudent getting out of the car. Below us you see the hairpin curves which we will ride on in a few minutes.

Andorra binnen rijdend van uit het zuiden aan de Spaanse grens, moet je het volledige land doorkruisen naar het noorden vooraleer het skigebied Vallnord te bereiken. Het is echter niet zo ver maar de juiste weg vinden is een uitdaging. 

Onderweg stopten we enkele keren voor een korte wandeling. De weersomstandigheden in de bergen veranderden snel. De wolken drongen het gebergte binnen. De skilift lag er verlaten bij. Op de top, schudde onze auto door zware windstoten. We waren heel voorzichtig toen we de auto uitstapten. Onder ons zie je de haarspeldbochten waarop we enkele minuten later gaan rijden.

  1. Hairpin bends, some of which we have on this island, but of course only in certain places. I bet it's beautiful here in winter with full snow on the peaks.
