Andorra's Alpine Shelters & Climbing

This collection highlights Andorra’s network of high-altitude mountain refuges and technical climbing routes. Situated between 1,865 and 2,420 meters, these stone-built shelters provide essential overnight stops for hikers traversing the Pyrenees, with many featuring fireplaces and proximity to glacial lakes. The selection includes the challenging Canal del Grau via ferrata, a 400-meter vertical ascent, alongside critical refuges like Comapedrosa near the country's highest peak and the remote Borda de Sorteny in the Ordino parish.
