Questions about Solar Viewpoint

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

• Before 5 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 6 June to 1 November 2026, 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.  

You can reach the La Coma area by road. Bicycles are not allowed on the Creussans chairlift.
