Itinerary
Travel to this small principality, nestled between France and Spain and surrounded by glorious mountains.
Strap on snowshoes to get close to nature and experience the beauty of winter in a whole new light. Cross freshly fallen snow and marvel at how much quicker it is to snowshoe than walk. Give the legs a rest in the afternoon and hop on a sledge for an exhilarating ride through this beautiful wilderness.
A day for families to explore Soldeu village or choose their own adventure. For an energetic excursion, why not try skiing. Head up the cable car and take advantage of the fabulous range of quiet slopes to have a lesson and master the technique.
Grab a spade and add a new skill to the collection, it’s time to make an igloo! Enjoy building a snowy shelter as a family and decide how to spend the afternoon. Maybe try some high-speed snowmobiling or complete the fairytale image with some leisurely ice-skating.
Use skis and poles to trek across the virgin snowscapes of Andorra’s winter wonderland. Raise a sweat on this easy-paced adventure and discover why this sport is both an efficient way to travel plus a great full-body workout.
Harness the power of a pack of huskies and experience the week’s most memorable form of transport. After a leisurely morning, hold on tight and enjoy the thrill of driving the dog sleds through the snow.
After the excitement of the last few days, today is free for families to be as active or relaxed as they choose. Perhaps the vote will be to brush up on those snowshoeing skills, or to hit the slopes again. Alternatively, for a more easygoing pace, enjoy some tax-free...

The Intrepid Travel Experience
If you’re looking for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 25 years, we’ve been taking small groups of travelers on unforgettable trips around the world. What makes them unforgettable? Take a look for yourself and discover the Intrepid experience.
Our travelers have three styles of tour to choose from: Basix, Original and Comfort. Each has a different level of inclusions and accommodation, but all have unforgettable real life experiences as part of the package. Travellers can also choose themed trips, such as Family, Sailing or Food, to suit their interests.
Our group size has an average of just ten travellers, which allows us to get off the beaten track, use local accommodation and transport, and really get to know the culture. It also ensures we are contributing to the local economy; by choosing local suppliers we were able to keep AUD 60 million in local economies in 2012. We’re also working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and were the first in our sector to introduce carbon offset trips. This, along with our many corporate sustainability activities, has meant we’re one of the travel industry’s leaders in responsible travel.
Why Intrepid?
- Small groups - average of 10 people per trip
- Sustainability - pioneers for the industry
- Local leaders - authentic perspectives
- Local transport - get close and personal
- Local accommodation - experience real living
- Intrepid travelers - like-minded companions

Style descriptions
Our Original style trips have a great balance of included activities with your group and free time to explore independently. Where we stay ensures we keep our travellers firmly entrenched in a region’s people and culture, and provides them with unique local experiences that benefits the community too. In most locations we stay in simple tourist-class hotels (i.e. 2-3 stars), plus on many trips you'll also get to experience a night with a local family on a homestay or something a little different like a Bedouin camp in the Sahara. Original style trips come with all manner of transport modes and use a mixture of local and private transport. You might find yourself sailing in a dhow in Zanzibar, jumping on a rickshaw in Sri Lanka or sailing on a yacht through the Galapagos. No matter the mode, it's all about minimising our environmental impact and making getting around part of the adventure.
