- Prepare for being outside in the open air
The summer temperatures in the Pyrenees are lovely, but the sun in the mountains can get pretty intense during the day. To make sure you enjoy the activities in comfort, it’s a good idea to bring light clothing, comfortable footwear, a hat, sunblock, a small rucksack with water and everything you need for the kids. In the early morning, when it might be a bit cooler, it’s also worth having a warm layer, like a sweater.
- Combine activities with a little downtime
A good way to organise your trip is by pairing active pursuits with time to relax. You can combine mountain activities, family-friendly parks and hikes with a visit to Caldea, giving the whole family a chance to slow down and make the most of the rest of the day.
- Plan your itinerary carefully
Many family-friendly activities and attractions are located close to one another, making it possible to fit multiple experiences into a single day. However, in summer some areas and times of day can get very busy, so it’s a good idea to plan your movements in advance to make the most of your family day out.
- Check the weather before doing any activities
The weather in the mountains can change quickly throughout the day, especially in summer. So, before you set off, make sure you check the weather forecast and the conditions for outdoor activities so you can plan your day better.
This way, you’ll be able to modify your plans more easily and make the most of every day of your family holiday in Andorra.
