Canillo, Andorra

A high-altitude paradise of nature, culture, and adventure

Located in northeastern Andorra, the parish of Canillo opens the doors to the most authentic Pyrenees. Known for its ski resorts, Romanesque churches, and postcard-perfect landscapes, Canillo is ideal for families and adventurers alike who want to experience the mountains in their purest form.

Spectacular natural beauty

Canillo stands out for its privileged natural environment. The Incles Valley, with green meadows and wooden walkways, is perfect for summer hikes. In winter, Grandvalira —one of the largest ski resorts in southern Europe— covers the mountains in snow and attracts skiers from all over the world.

Romanesque heritage and tradition

The church of Sant Joan de Caselles, with over a thousand years of history, is one of Andorra’s best examples of Romanesque art. The rest of the parish is dotted with "bordes" (traditional mountain huts), chapels, and spots that preserve the character of mountain villages.

Unique experiences

One of Canillo’s highlights is the Roc del Quer viewpoint, a suspended platform that offers stunning views of the valley. Not for the faint of heart —but perfect for unforgettable photos!

There’s also the Ice Palace, with an ice rink and swimming pool, offering activities for all ages year-round.
