This small, ancient temple is a typical example of religious architecture in the Pyrenees, and although it is a modest construction, it has great historical and cultural value. It is a jewel of Andorran heritage, combining history, Romanesque architecture and a beautiful natural environment.

The distance from the starting point in the village of Llorts to the lakes of l'Angonella is approximately 6 kilometres one way. The terrain is varied, starting with a dirt track that turns into a more technical and rocky path as you ascend. The route passes through forests and alpine meadows, and in the later sections, the terrain becomes rougher with sections of loose stone and areas of high mountain. This route is considered to be of high difficulty due to the combination of distance, gradient and the technical nature of the terrain, especially in the final sections near the lakes. It is suitable for experienced cyclists who are looking for a challenge and enjoy the high mountains.

It is one of the highest points accessible by mountain bike (MTB) and eBike in Andorra. It is a popular destination among cyclists due to its spectacular surroundings and the challenges offered by the climb. The starting point at the Ordino Arcalís ski resort to the summit of Les Portelles covers approximately 7.5 kilometres. The cumulative positive gradient is significant, reaching 700 metres of vertical ascent from the base of the resort to the summit of Les Portelles, which is around 2,560 metres above sea level. The terrain is varied, combining stretches of asphalt in the first sections with dirt and gravel tracks as you ascend. At some points, the terrain becomes more technical, especially near the summit, where rocks and the incline add difficulty. The climb is considered to be of high difficulty due to the gradient and terrain conditions. It is a demanding route for both MTB cyclists and eBike users, who will enjoy the additional challenge offered by the altitude and changing weather conditions in high mountains.

Arcalís 91, also known as The Ring of Ordino, is a steel sculpture created by Italian artist Mauro Staccioli in 1991. Located in the Ordino Arcalís ski resort in Andorra, the sculpture is a giant ring that symbolizes perfection and eternity. It is strategically placed to frame the surrounding mountain landscape, creating a stunning visual effect. The work represents the opposition between natural law and human law, highlighting the contrast between the simplicity of the ring and the complexity of the nature that surrounds it.

The final destination of the route is the Angonella lakes, a series of small glacial lakes located at high altitude. These lakes are known for their crystal-clear waters and serene surroundings, making it an ideal place for nature lovers.
