Nature
Andorra is called the land of the mountains thanks to its beautiful, varied nature. Andorra has green meadows and valleys through which rivers flow, high peaks of over 2500m with rugged rock massifs, elongated mountain ranges with mountain meadows and glacial lakes with eternal snow in some places. The northern mountain slopes are covered with dense forests. Scattered across the country you’ll find loads of mountain villages. Andorra is a great day-out for nature lovers.
Flora and fauna
Andorra has over 1100 different plant species. The valleys "Vall de Ransol" and "Valle de Rialb" are known for their unique flora, many rare plants grow here. One of the most beautiful flowers is Andorra's national flower, the white Narcissus Poeticus. The Pyrenean iris, the many orchids and the alpine rose are also beautiful. Andorra is also home to the almost extinct Iberian ibex who, just like chamois, live on the rocks. In the past bears and lynxes also used to live in Andorra. Andorra is still, however, home to the Ptarmigan, marten, fox and eagle.
