Fantastic panoramic views all around; this summit is well worth it, as you can see from my two panorama photos. Ascent from Estany de Sotllo via the pass. I took the partly exposed scrambling/climbing ridge via Pic Verdaguer. Beautiful scrambling; you just have to be careful to stay on the right track. Descent around the summit, then back to the same pass and down past the same beautiful mountain lakes, and via the Valferrera Hut into the valley. The length and roughness of this route surprised me. Luckily, I didn't start my ascent from the hut. The section along the mountainside, especially above the hut, was quite challenging. There are frequent short climbs over rocky outcrops, and at one point, I found myself on a side path below the main trail, which then ended in the undergrowth. After a short climb, everything was fine again.

A magnificent location offering stunning views of the Ariège Pyrenees: the Montcalm Massif, the Bassiès Massif, the Beille Plateau, and more. Easily accessible from Croquié in both summer and winter, provided you're well-equipped and at least a little fit (800m+). Its only drawback: it's very crowded, especially in winter.

The climb is steep, but manageable. The view from up there, stretching far into France, is definitely worth it!

Half of those present aren't following the rules! At the start of the climb, a sign clearly states that swimwear should be worn out of consideration (especially for children). Instead, a Frenchman presents himself completely naked. Some French women enjoy exposing their breasts. Everyone present is smugly sprawling, lying head-to-toe in the water without a single gesture of consideration for newly arrived visitors. A little further upstream from the spring, we encounter the third disappointment: Down in the village, several signs indicate a camping ban. A few meters above the spring, we found a camping tent in the forest (keyword: wild camping) and a prepared campfire site (as if there weren't enough forest fires in France by 2025). The behavior of some of the people is unacceptable.

Possibility of bivouac and magnificent natural spectacle by numerous griffon vultures

I think making this peak a highlight of my run is quite a challenge. Taking the easiest route via the Refuge de Pinet would be at least challenging mountain trail running. Inexperienced runners should definitely be aware of the altitude and terrain.

Here again: Someone is rating ALL photos of highlights in this region (Northwest Pyrenees) "not accurate," even though they accurately depict the location? Why does anyone need to do that? Is it jealousy? Does someone want to drag down others' "expert" ratings? How pathetic.

A well-known 3000-meter peak entirely on the French side, with a flat summit (and bivouac stone walls). There are four ascent routes: -from the east from the Étang de Soulcem (T4) -from the north via the Refuge du Pinet (T3+) -from the northeast (steep T4+ gully, dangerous in icy conditions) -from the Spanish side (south) with an easy intermediate descent (T3+) Designed as a "mountain hiking" highlight, as some tours go beyond simple "hiking." I combined the tour with the Sotllo (T4+).

I created the summit myself as a "highlight" for mountain hiking, as my chosen long loop, including the Pic de Sotllo, was a bit more challenging. The "normal route" via the Refuge de Pinet is technically easier and lacks any real climbing. However, I find the mountain hiking category more appropriate due to the altitude and terrain. Unfortunately, Komoot makes my highlight invisible to others on the map. As has happened with several of my previous highlights in other regions, where I marked the only point.

This 3000-meter peak on the French side of the Pyrenees' main ridge is relatively easy to reach via the Refuge de Pinet, but requires a significant elevation gain from the parking lot. Therefore, using the hut is recommended; it also has a room open in winter (€8 unattended). Another ascent from the northeast allows for a "crossing," but it has a steep gully (which, when icy, almost caused me a nasty fall in October 2014). A third ascent option leads from the east, from the reservoir, over the shared pass with the Pica d'Estats. Needless to say, there's a fantastic view from the summit. Only the view to the south is limited by the slightly higher Pica d'Estats, which is why hikers with good fitness and surefootedness are recommended to climb the latter from the shared pass.

The summit can be reached from several sides. The direct route from the Spanish side to the summit ridge is challenging (I estimate it to be T5 according to the SAC scale). However, you can "cheat" by first crossing the pass to the left to the north side, after which you have to descend a bit to reach the trail from the French side. The technically easiest ascent is certainly from the north via the Refuge du Pinet (T3). However, from the parking lot at L'Artigue, the total elevation gain is around 2,000 meters, which is why staying overnight at the refuge is a good option (a winter room was open in October 2024, €8 per night). I chose the third option, from the Étang de Soulcem. From there, it's "only" 1,500 meters of elevation gain with a difficulty of T3+/T4-. However, I chose a variant for the ascent (see my tour) that isn't on the map and that I would rate as T4+.

The structure is designed to mark the hours of sunlight throughout the day, allowing visitors to experience how sunlight interacts with the structure at different times. In short, the Tristaina Solar Viewpoint is a work by Rafael Galindo, built in Corten steel and inaugurated in 2021, which celebrates the sun and its daily journey, offering a unique experience in one of the most impressive natural settings in Andorra.

The gorge is gorgeous indeed! I was there in August. Not a drop of water. Would like to go back a different season. Descent was partially overgrown and hard to find. No views there.

There are some incredible viewing platforms in Andorra and the huge suspended ring sphere from the Tristaina solar viewpoint near Arcalís is one of them. Offering some of the most spectacular panoramic views of Andorra and the Pyrenees from the summit of Peyreguils at 2701 meters above sea level, on the border with France. There may be some challenging sections, but the views are worth it.

Impressive viewpoint that you can climb to the top and that offers impressive views of the Arcalís Valley. Only suitable currents in periods of good weather where there is no snow.

A peak that can be accessed from the valleys of Ransol and Sorteny and that, once at the top, also offers us excellent views of Coma Pedrosa, and beyond the Andorran borders, of Pica d'Estats and the massif of the Maladeta Fourth highest peak in Andorra.
