Best value: Apr, Jun, Sep. Dec–Mar for skiing; Jul–Aug for hiking. Busiest and priciest: Dec–Mar, Jul–Aug.

Each bar is the average temperature in Andorra for that month, and its colour shows the season for visitors: best value (good weather, fewer crowds and lower prices), busiest and priciest, or quiet (off-peak, sometimes because the weather is poorer).

• Our pick: June and SeptemberThe warmest of the best-value months (12–14°C), with fewer crowds than peak season.
• Peak season: Dec–Mar, Jul–AugUsually -2–16°C. The busiest time, so book flights and rooms early and expect higher prices.
• Quiet season: May, Oct–NovAround 2–8°C. The cheapest and least crowded time, but cold, so pack layers.
• Warmest: July (16°C) · coolest: February (-2°C)A 18°C swing between the warmest and coolest months.
