Description   

Welcome to Soldeu!

If you take the eastern approach from France, this is likely the first Andorran municipality you will pass.

Soldeu is a small municipality in northeastern Andorra, known primarily as a winter sports resort. The associated Grandvalira ski area is the largest of its kind in the Pyrenees.


At approximately 468 km², Andorra itself is one of Europe's larger microstates. Jointly administered by Spain and France, the country has used the Euro as its currency since 2001, replacing the franc and the peseta. Tourism is the primary source of revenue, with very low VAT rates attracting both tourists and businesses.

Geschaft! Mein erster Cache in Andorra ist ein OConly! 🕺
Merci fraggle_DE für den "Welcome to Soldeu" Cache.

Und was für ein Willkommen es war! Ich reiste mit dem Bus aus Toulouse an. Das Wetter in Frankreich war übel. Kalt, grau und regnerisch. Je weiter es hoch ging, je weniger weit reichte die Sicht. Vielleicht noch so 100m.
Dann fuhren wir in Pas de la Casa in den Tunnel. Ich nahm schon mal Pullover und Halstuch aus dem Rucksack. Doch als wir aus dem Tunnel kamen begrüste uns strahlender Sonnenschein! Es war angenehm warm und nur ein leichtes Lüftchen.
Der Busfahrer lies mich bei den ersten Hotels aussteigen und ich schwizte auf dem Weg zurück zum Kreisel mit dem Cache. Es gab ein paar schöne Fotos und dan machte ich mich auf zu meiner Unterkunft in Encamp (mit Abstecher zu den GC "Dosen").
