Tristaina Solar Viewpoint tickets in Ordino-Arcalís

One of the highest viewpoints in the Ordino Biosphere Reserve, it was designed as a sundial: its 27-metre central mast, tilted at 42.55°, marks the time on the circle itself. The tilt of this 360° viewpoint matches the exact latitude of the spot where it stands. Turning the viewpoint into a sundial was not the original idea but came in a second phase of the project. It pays tribute to Arcalís as a solar mountain and to Bonaventura Adellach's book of the same name, which described his discovery on this mountain of the solar calendar early shepherds used to keep track of time.
