Opening and closing

  • What dates does the Solar Viewpoint open?
    The Solar Viewpoint is always open and can be visited nearly all year round. There are different accesses, depending on the season. Further information .

Access

  • Is access adapted for people with reduced mobility?
    The Solar Viewpoint is located on the peak of Peyreguils, at an altitude of 2,701m. It is a 15 to 20-minute walk on a narrow mountain path. It is therefore not recommended for some types of disability
  • Can I reach it by bicycle?
    You can reach the La Coma zone by bicycle. Bicycles are not allowed on the Creussans chairlift.
  • How can I access the Solar Viewpoint?

    Depending on when you visit, you will be able to access the Viewpoint in different ways: 

    • Before 6 June: Once the winter season has ended, and for 1 month after that (depending on natural thawing), both the CG3 access road and the mountain trails to the Solar Viewpoint may be covered with snow and/or ice. If this is the case, you will need to leave your car at the Hortell car park, and it is possible that you may need snowshoes and/or crampons to go up/come down. 
    Once the road is clear, you will be able to drive as far as the La Coma car park and, from there, walk up the signposted mountain trail. There are no open ski lifts (cable car or chairlift).                                                                                                                                                                

    • From 7 June to 2 November 2025, the Tristaina Cable Car and the Creussans chairlift are in operation.

    Please look at the calendar to check which ski lift is open on the day you visit.  

    Important: please note that the CG3 road (between the Hortell car park and La Coma del Forat) is closed to motorised traffic from the base of the resort, so it is not possible to gain access by car.

    The viewpoint is located at a height of 2,701 metres, therefore, we recommend that you wear hiking shoes and clothes, and check the weather forecast in advance.  

Duration

  • How long does it take to reach the Viewpoint?

    The first section, which takes 6 minutes, starts in Hortell and takes you up to the La Coma restaurant. Then, you have the second section: a journey of 15 minutes on the Creussans chairlift. Once you are at the top of the Creussans chairlift, you walk along the mountain trail for 15-20 minutes until you reach the viewpoint.
