Xanascat network youth hostel by the Valira river, a short walk from La Seu d'Urgell and 10 km from Andorra. 130 beds in 5- or 8-person rooms, ski storage and bike hire: ideal for groups and active families.
Alberg La Valira is a youth hostel belonging to the Catalan public Xanascat network, set in a bright, functional building on the banks of the Valira river. It offers 130 beds split between 5-person rooms with private bathroom and 8-person rooms with shared facilities, designed for school groups, families and budget-conscious active travellers. The layout is clearly split into quiet night areas and lively day areas, including a large sports space suited to group activities. The atmosphere is simple, practical and no-frills, in the spirit of mountain hostels built for sport and outdoor life. A ski storage room and bike rental service make it a solid choice for active stays between mountain and river. Sitting close to the historic centre and only around ten kilometres from Andorra, it makes a handy, affordable base for exploring the Pyrenees.
The hostel sits on the banks of the Valira river, between the Enamorats and Valira parks, about a 10-minute walk from the centre of La Seu d'Urgell. The Andorran border is only around ten kilometres away, making it a handy starting point for exploring the Principality and its resorts. The surrounding area offers plenty of outdoor activities, including skiing, hiking, golf and horse riding in the nearby Pyrenean valleys. The nearest airport, La Seu d'Urgell, is about 4 km away.
