Bikes are also ideal for a family getaway in autumn

Leaves crunch under your wheels, the air is cool without being cold, and the roads are quieter than in summer. Autumn cycling trips are quieter and more peaceful. For families looking for things to do with children, getting on a bike can be the start of a perfect weekend. And if that plan starts in Andorra, so much the better. Because family cycling also means blankets to wrap up in on the way back, hot snacks and landscapes that change colour with every turn of the pedals.

Forget the calendar and follow the rhythm of the road Autumn always brings

with it busy schedules, homework and new routines. That's precisely why it's a great time to break with the established order. Short weekend getaways, without rushing and with cycling as an excuse, act as a little reset button for the whole family.
In Soldeu and the surrounding area of Grandvalira, there are cycling routes to suit all levels: from routes that wind through forests to more technical trails for the more adventurous. But the best thing about autumn isn't the slopes, it's the details, like the smell of wet earth and the views.

Autumn is the most pleasant season for family cycling.

Summer may get all the fame, but the truth is that autumn temperatures are ideal for family cycling. No sweltering heat or early mornings to avoid the peak hours of sunshine. In September and October, your body will thank you for setting off later and riding for longer.
What's more, the landscape changes at a slow and beautiful pace. From the hotel, the views already give us clues. The green tones begin to mix with ochres, golds and reds.

Small rituals that make the getaway great

A bike ride doesn't have to last for hours; sometimes, half a morning is enough. Or, if you prefer, you can discover Andorra on two wheels in a more relaxed way and devote a whole day to it. That's why we offer getaways with bike hire included. At Park Piolets MountainHotel & Spa, you can choose packages that include a night's accommodation and road bike, mountain bike or e-bike hire. You won't have to worry about maintenance and you'll travel in greater comfort. But if you bring your own bike, we have everything you need in our Cycling Room. An enclosed space to store it with all the tools you need to get it ready, a work table and a workshop bench so you can repair and check it before and after each route. We also have a cleaning area with water pumps.

A family cycling getaway with a perfect ending

And after cycling, other activities await you at the hotel to complete your outing. Because yes, a family cycling getaway can also include moments of relaxation in the spa, with schedules designed especially for those travelling with children.
The kids' room is the place your children won't want to leave while you take a moment to unwind on the Champagne Bollinger Terrace, with a drink in your hand and the mountains in the background.

The important thing is not the route, but what you take back with you

One of the challenges of travelling with children is finding plans that suit the ages of all family members. And cycling in autumn makes it easy. But beyond the number of kilometres or the accumulated elevation gain, what stays in your memory are the moments spent together.
And if the starting point is a hotel where everything is designed to pamper adults and children alike, the getaway becomes a perfect plan.
So cycling as a family is more than just a one-off activity; it's a complete experience. Are you already thinking about your next trip? The routes, the spa and relaxation await you in Soldeu. Book now and start planning a getaway that you'll enjoy from the very first kilometre.
