Description
Discover one of the most beautiful and complete journeys in the eastern Pyrenees with Estanys Amagats, a 5-day circular route between the Alta Cerdanya, Alt Urgell, and the Madriu Valley in Andorra.
This high mountain route connects emblematic refuges, crossing alpine forests, wide ridges, glacial valleys, and more than 40 mountain lakes hidden among peaks. An experience where nature, landscape, and Pyrenean culture coexist in an itinerary designed to explore the territory on foot.
During the journey, you will have the opportunity to climb such representative peaks as Puigpedrós (2,915 m), Tossa Plana de Lles (2,905 m), or Pic de Perafita (2,752 m), as well as visit unique places like Estany de Malniu, Llac de l’Orri, or Estanys de la Muga.
An ideal adventure for hikers accustomed to walking several days and looking to combine high mountains and refuges with a manageable physical level.
