To the Solar Viewpoint

Linear route – Sunrise hike

Experience the magic of the mountains with this guided excursion to watch the sunrise from the Tristaina Solar Viewpoint, a spectacular structure located on the summit of Pic de Peyreguils (2,701 m). The hike begins early in the morning with headlamps to ensure arrival just in time to witness the sunrise in a breathtaking setting, surrounded by peaks and glacial lakes.

The Solar Viewpoint is a circular platform suspended above the void, functioning as a sundial thanks to its 27-meter tilted gnomon. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Tristaina glacial cirque, the French border, and the Ordino Valley.

The trail climbs first to Estany de Creussans, surrounded by alpine meadows and rock formations, then continues to the Port de Creussans, a natural pass between Andorra and France. The final section follows an easy and safe ridge up to the summit and the viewpoint.

After sunrise, the descent can be done either on foot or by the Creussans chairlift, and the experience ends with breakfast at La Coma restaurant.

To the Tristaina Lakes

Circular route

One of the most iconic and accessible hikes in Ordino Arcalís, perfect for discovering the scenic beauty of the area. This route takes you to the Tristaina Lakes, a group of three glacial lakes nestled in a spectacular setting, surrounded by rugged peaks and high-mountain meadows.

The excursion begins with a ride on the gondola lift from La Coma d’Arcalís, allowing you to start the trail from a high point with panoramic views right from the beginning. The path is well-marked and gently sloped, making it an ideal experience for families, groups, or anyone with basic physical fitness.

During the hike, you will visit three glacial lakes:

Estany Primer (2,250 m): small and peaceful, surrounded by alpine vegetation.
Estany del Mig (2,298 m): located on an intermediate plateau with open views.
Estany de Més Amunt (2,330 m): the largest and highest, located at the foot of the impressive Pic de Tristaina (2,878 m).

In addition to the lakes, the route offers opportunities to observe wildlife such as marmots or free-roaming horses, as well as typical alpine flora. You will also pass by the Arcalís 91 sculpture, a contemporary artwork that blends into the landscape.
