This route, known as "Camí Ral," is part of a network of ancient paths that connected the towns and valleys of Andorra before the construction of modern roads.

Like many other routes in Andorra, the Camí Ral was used by shepherds to guide their livestock between valleys during the different seasons of the year. These paths were essential to rural life and the economy based on agriculture and livestock farming. During times of war and conflict, such as the Spanish Civil War and World War II, the Camí Ral, like other mountain paths in Andorra, was used by smugglers and people fleeing across the mountains to avoid border control.
