A glacial valley in the Pyrenees in the south-east of Andorra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with high pastures, stone shepherds' huts, and old terraces, showing how people have lived in the high mountains for 700 years.


The walk starts from Engolasters near Escaldes-Engordany. There are no roads in the valley. Mountain huts allow overnight stays. Andorra's ski resorts, Grandvalira and Vallnord, are busy in winter.
