On foot
For those who prefer walking:
Pl. Fontetes (registration area), located next to the Magic Ski and Magic La Massana hotels, is approximately 1 km from the Race Village (about a 10-minute walk).

Official Shuttle Service
During race days, riders will not need to worry about transportation. The organization will provide a continuous shuttle service connecting:
• Official hotels
• Registration area
• Stage starts

You can also find all detailed information in the Rider Manual.

Uber in Andorra
Since this year, Andorra has Uber available, which can be used directly through its mobile app.

The trip between hotels and the Race Village can be done by car, although we recommend using the CG-3 (main road of La Massana), as the alternative route is narrower.

 

The route connecting the Hotel Anyós Park with the Race Village is recommended to be done on foot or by bicycle. Car access on this section is not allowed.

 

As shown in the image, the green point represents the Race Village and the red point indicates Pl. Fontetes, where registration will take place on 01/07/2026. This location is just a few meters from the Magic Ski and Magic La Massana hotels.

 

The journey between both points can be done on foot, by bicycle, or by car. If choosing to go by car, we recommend using the CG-3 (main road), as the alternative route is narrower and less comfortable for traffic.

Magic La Massana and Magic Ski

Both hotels are located in the centre of La Massana, next to the cable car and the main area of restaurants and services in the village. Staying here means being fully integrated into the event atmosphere and the daily rhythm of the town.

These are contemporary alpine-style hotels, designed to provide functional comfort during sporting stays: spacious rooms, cosy common areas, athlete-oriented dining, and spa facilities focused on basic post-stage recovery.

The experience here is urban within a mountain setting: stepping out of the hotel means finding cafés, terraces, shops, and a lively cycling atmosphere. During race week, the area becomes a constant meeting point for participants.

With the new Race Village, access is simple and direct, and the shuttle service ensures smooth transport during key moments of the programme.

AnyósPark Hotel and Resort

Located in the Anyós area, in a position slightly closer to the new Race Village compared to previous editions, this accommodation offers a different experience: more open, quieter, and with a broader sports and wellness infrastructure.

AnyósPark is designed as a mountain resort. Its architecture blends into the hillside, offering open views of the valley and a more spacious layout. In addition to rooms and apartments, it features a full wellness centre, swimming pools, training areas, sports facilities, and spaces designed for active recovery.

The atmosphere here is more relaxed. After each stage, the environment encourages disconnection from the urban centre and a focus on physical recovery. The shuttle service provides easy connection to the Race Village, allowing comfort and practicality to be combined.

With the new Race Village location and the organised transport service, the difference is no longer distance, but the type of stay.

Xalet abba Suites Hotel

Located in Sispony, La Massana, abba Xalet Suites Hotel will be one of the official hotels of Andorra Epic 2027. Surrounded by the mountains of Andorra, it offers a peaceful setting just a short shuttle ride from the Race Village.

With a spa, gym, heated outdoor pool, massage service and spacious suites, it's the perfect place to recover after each stage while enjoying comfort and mountain views.

New in 2026: Parking will be available at the Race Village (limited spaces) with 24-hour security.

La Massana also has several paid parking facilities, including:

  • Pl. Fontetes – El Farré Negre Municipal Parking
  • Camí Ral Parking
  • Camí de l’Església Parking
