Feel like a true Eskimo when you build your very own Igloo in the mountains of Andorra. This is the perfect adventure to have during your visit to Escaldes.
Build an Igloo
We will meet at 3 pm in the El Cubil car park at the Grau Roig ski resort. There, we will pick up all the material and tools needed for this igloo building activity before heading into the Moretó Valley.
On the way, we will learn about Eskimo life and the features of these icy houses. We will start to create a compacting or block igloo, depending on the snow density that day. You will hear facts about how these igloos can keep people warm in temperatures as low as -40º.
Shovels and saws are the only tools needed to build these icy constructions. Once the work is finished, we will enter the igloo to contrast the experience with the outside environment.
After an hour and a half of learning and building igloos, we will return to the original departure point where our experience concludes.
