Lore & Trivia
The Andorra Ultra Trail is the tiny principality's answer to UTMB — a 100km mountain race that squeezes over 6,500m of climbing into a country smaller than most national parks. Andorra sits in the eastern Pyrenees between France and Spain, and its entire territory is mountain. The course climbs from Ordino through pastoral valleys to exposed ridgelines at 2,900m, crossing between watersheds that drain to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Andorra's tax-haven status has created a curious ultra running scene: wealthy ski-town infrastructure (chairlifts, mountain restaurants) alongside genuinely wild Pyrenean terrain.
