Hiking in Andorra

Andorra offers a multitude of options for hikers in the mountains of Andorra. From easier, more accessible trails to the possibility of climbing Comapedrosa, the country’s highest peak at 2,942 metres, for the more experienced. The Hotel del Tarter is located near the Vall d’Incles, an area rich in fauna and flora and the starting point for numerous lakes, such as Juclà (the largest in the country), Cabana Sorda and Siscaró, among others. But you can also walk along the Camí de l’Obac, a flat 2.6 km trail that leads to the end of the Incles valley.

Near the hotel, we also have the Camí del Gall. This is an easy route through the forest that goes from Canillo to Soldeu and runs through the natural habitat of the Uruguayan, a species native to the country.

The Tibetan Bridge of Canillo and Roc del Quer

We are in the parish of Canillo, near the Palau de Gel, but also very close to the Tibetan bridge of Canillo. It is a 603-metre-long metal footbridge, 158 metres above the ground. The footbridge is located in the Vall del Riu, one of the most beautiful natural spots in Andorra, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. It can only be accessed by bus from the village of Canillo or from the Roc del Quer car park, followed by a short 900-metre walk to the footbridge.

Another of Canillo’s most famous attractions is the Roc del Quer viewpoint, from where you can enjoy views of the entire valley and the surrounding peaks. It is a 20-metre-long walkway, with 12 metres suspended in the air, and at the end there is a sculpture of a thinker observing the entire landscape.
