There is an underlying threat from terrorism. Attacks, although unlikely, could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is not valid in Andorra as Andorra is not a Member of the European Union and therefore EU reciprocal medical arrangements do not apply.

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance (valid for non-EU countries) before travelling to help cover any unexpected costs such as medical bills or stolen belongings. Take enough medication and money to cover any unforeseen extended stays or emergencies. See General - Insurance for more information.

Visitors to ski resorts should take advice on weather and avalanche conditions before they travel and throughout their visit (see: http://www.ski.andorra.com and http://www.avalanches.org. Be aware that drinking alcohol in low temperatures and high altitude will have greater impact on you and can be dangerous or even fatal. See the stay safe on the slopes section and the General -Winter Sports section of this Travel Advice for more advice.
