Description

The Sorteny Natural Park hosts a cerulean lake and an impressive peak that is worth your visit. In winter, the beauty of the area heightens and offers a wide range of activities to enjoy, such as snowshoeing.

This tour goes through the park and finishes at the Estany de l’Estanyó lake, an amazing water reservoir at the foot of the Pic de l’Estanyó mountain (2,915m), the third highest in Andorra. To get there, we will traverse frozen pine forests, snowy subalpine meadows and feathery paths leading towards the lake.

On our return, we will stop at the Borda-Refugio de Sorteny hut, a comfy place that offers all kind of services to relax and rest a bit.

This park is a true Andorran treasure that you should definitely visit. This is why I invite you to book this program and get to experience it for yourself. I guarantee a fun day of snowshoeing!

I also think you would enjoy this Pessons peak full day trekking adventure.

The tour hour was short for half day. We had expected longer one, though. So, maybe you should indicate 2.5 hours in your information. However, we really enjoyed the tour, and the tour guide Jordi was really nice person. He knows well about the mountain & the nature in Madriu valley. He taught us a lot of things. Thank you very much!!

Jordi was just great, very helpful and supportive. He quickly analyzed our level and adapted the tour accordingly. He even offered to bring us to an other via ferrata nearby after the introduction tour. Great instructor and guide!

We did Tristaina Peak hiking instead of the advertised tour. It is a little challenging. However, for intermediate hikers who do not mind climbing up and down, this is highly recommended. Our guide, Jordi Salles is absolutely wonderful and professional. He cares a lot about our safety and he also cares about our objective in what we would like to achieve. This tour was a life-time experience for me and I am very happy that I did it. Thank you very much!
