Hunting and fishing used to be a matter of survival in the past, but now they're another enjoyable way of exploring the mountain landscapes of Andorra while practising a sport which is both stimulating and relaxing.

Before you start fishing, you need to know the Andorran regulations, so that this activity not only will not harm the environment, but will guarantee protection of the waters of the rivers and lakes and the fauna who make it their habitat.
In fact, fishing is the perfect opportunity for relaxing in the open air, as it brings you into real, direct contact with nature and enables you to explore the wonders of the mountain environment with a different insight.
The landscapes of the Principality of Andorra offer unrivalled beauty and great variety for sports or tourist fishing while guaranteeing the ecological balance of the mountains and rivers of the Pyrenees.
