Canillo is a very popular mountain and winter sports resort: skiing, snow shoe hiking, climbing, skating, kids’ park …. there won’t be a dull moment. There is also a walking path connecting the various national treasures (churches, cemeteries, old mill).
If the weather does not play along, then visit the motorcycle museum displaying historic bikes from the 1900s to the present.
