Pic de l’Estanyó

With a height of 2,915 meters, the mountain of l'Estanyó is Andorra's second highest peak. On this mountain, you can also see glacier lakes and learn about the many different species of flora and wildlife that thrive at such a high height.

The little lake (Estany de l'Estanyó or Estanyó de Sorteny) at the foot of the northern slope inspired the name Pic de l'Estanyó. The mountain separates the Valira d'Encamp (also known as Oriente, Canillo, or Soldeu) and the Valira d'Ordino (also known as La Massana, del Nord, or Ribera d'Ordino), which join at the Escaldes-highest Engordany's point to form the Gran Valira. Many mountaineers believe it to be the best sight in Andorra because of its placement between the two big valleys.

El Serrat is the nearest settlement to l'Estanyó's summit and lake. There is free parking in Canya de la Rabassa, as well as a picnic area with barbecues and picnic tables where you may enjoy an outdoor lunch.

As a highlight, you will locate a Botanical Garden on any of the hiking routes where you can explore and learn about over 700 types of plants and flowers found only in the Pyrenees!
