Pyrenees/
Andorra
Tourism
& Golf
The Pyrenees are a rugged mountain range
which forms a natural line of over 400Km
which acts as a natural border between
France and Spain. Stretching from The
Mediterranean sea to the Atlantic sea, the
mountain range is popular all year round.
The peaks are snow covered throughout the
winter months, while hikers and walkers avail
of the stunning natural terrain throughout
the summer months. In fact, the Pyrenees
are often regarded as the finest destination
for hiking around Europe. Due to its extreme
nature, the mountain range provides unique
flora & fauna, jaw dropping lakes & waterfalls,
and jagged peaks with incomparable views.
In the middle of the Spanish and French
Pyrenees is the independent principality of
Andorra, which is globally recognised for its
ski slopes. There are 3 golf courses in
Pyrenees & Andorra – Fontanals Golf, Real
Club de Golf de Cerdanya and Aravell Golf.
Founded in 1994, Fontanals is situated
1150m above sea level with scenery that is
second to none with peaks touching almost
3000m in altitude. The Peugeot Golf guide
listed this course amongst the top 11 in
Europe and it’s not hard to understand why. The
Royal Golf Club of Cerdanya is situated 1km
from the town of Puigcerda. It also has stunning
views with immaculate fairways flanked by
pine, poplar and fir trees which offer incredible
landscapes to the player. Aravell is a testing
Jose Maria Olazabal course , with water
coming into play on various occasions in the
form of a river and lake.
