Build an Igloo

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 we need for this igloo building activity before heading into the Moretó Valley forests.

On the way, we will learn about Eskimo life and the features of igloos. We will then start to create a compacting or block igloo, depending on the snow density that day. You will hear facts about how these igloos provide warmth even at -40º.

Shovels and saws are the only tools required to build these icy structures. Once completed, we will enter the igloo to experience the difference in temperature from outside.

After an hour and a half of learning and building igloos, we will return to the original departure point where our experience concludes.
