Circular route through the Parish of Canillo in Andorra

The route that we present will allow us to get to know one of the high parishes of Andorra. This route will take you through some of the most beautiful and emblematic landscapes of this area of the parish, such as mountains, peaks and valleys.
On the walking route you will discover red pines, ginestas, common gins, birches and alpine roses. As for the fauna, with a bit of luck you will be able to see vultures, bearded vultures, grouse, Isards dels Pirineus and roe deer, among others.
- Difficulty: high.
- Elevation difference: +1,560 m / -1,481 m
- Kilometers: 32.7 km.
Since it is a circular path, we can start and finish it from anywhere along the route. It is accessible to everyone, but if we want to do it in its entirety, we must have time and be in good physical condition. Knowing how to orient ourselves and being used to walking will be mandatory points to take into account.
The path is marked with the symbol of a colored flower that corresponds to the tourist brand of the parish. The itinerary has two large areas: the shaded area and the sunny area. The sunny area has been used more by man and the shaded area is a forest area. Throughout the route we will be able to enjoy the most beautiful and emblematic landscapes of the peaks and valleys of this area of the parish. We highlight the vision of the Casamanya, Estanyó, Alt de Juclà and Escobes peaks, as well as the glacial valleys of Montaup, del Río, the Ransol coma, and Incles.
For your safety, we recommend that you do all the itineraries above 1,700 meters from the end of June to the end of September. However, weather and ground conditions permitting, the season could extend from May to October.
