Experience a range of glacial landforms
This invigorating field studies trip to Andorra explores the stunning and accessible glaciated landscape of the central Pyrenees. Based in Soldeu, students can easily experience a range of glacial landforms, see and measure evidence of various processes of glacial erosion and deposition, and can witness how a glaciated landscape is being used and managed.
Other fascinating topics can be incorporated, including fluvial landscapes at Valle d’Incles and human geography in the villages, resorts and capital city of Andorra la Vella.
Our school travel groups are taught by a fantastic expert who is a former manager at a UK Field Studies Centre with over 30 years’ experience teaching field studies.
This unique tour is targeted at A-level studies, but should there be younger Geography students interested in exploring this awe-inspiring destination, the itinerary can be adapted.
