Puigcerdà is not the place to go for skiing, but rather for hiking. The town is actually in a valley surrounded by mountains and it is best to buy a guide at the local bookshop with the hiking paths and choose a direction in which to go.

Equipment: Good, sensible shoes and a warm jacket in the winter.
