Vistes a la vall de la Massana, veiem com a l'esquerra s'aixeca el Roc de la Cauba i al fons el pic de la Font Blanca i també si mirem a la dreta ens trobem el pic de Casamanya.

General Description

Recorregut: Ruta lineal que ens apropa a un dels llocs del país on podem observar de manera fàcil unes increïbles vistes de tot l'entorn, per la seva perfecta ubicació al centre del país. La ruta transita per un tram de carretera i la resta de la ruta passa per la pista forestal del Carroi. Els últims metres són per l'aresta i en aquest terreny sí que ens mourem per muntanya alpina.

Observacions: Ruta molt assequible per iniciar-se.
La ruta no presenta dificultats i anirem sempre per trams de pista ampla menys en els últims metres.
No trobarem cap font d'aigua durant tot el recorregut.

Ascens: Sortirem de la carretera de Sispony, des de la zona on comença el camí de les bordes de Fenerols. Arranquem i pugem per la carretera dels cortals de Sispony fins a l'encreuament a mà esquerra on trobem ubicada la granja. Aquí deixarem la carretera i agafarem la pista forestal de Carroi, aquesta ens portarà fins a gairebé dalt del pic, en una pujada que alterna rectes i corbes fins a dalt, arribats a aquest punt on tenim unes vistes d'ocell de tota la vall d'Escaldes-Engordany i d'Andorra la Vella a un costat i de la Massana i Ordino a l'altre, i només ens quedarà per acabar i arribar fins al pic fer l'últim tram d'aresta que és molt curt.

Descens: Seguirem el mateix camí de la pujada.

Safety tips

Enjoy the mountain safely

Mountain tours can be dangerous, which is why it is your responsibility to take all the necessary measures to safeguard your safety and integrity.

1. Preparation of the itinerary

Check the weather forecast before your departure

Take into account your physical condition and your experience in the environment

Consult the avalanche danger bulletin in winter times

Plan a suitable route knowing shelter points

2. Essential material

Bring the appropriate material for the activity and weather conditions

The rucksack cannot lack drink and food adapted to the departure

Don't forget to check beforehand that the DVA, Shovel and Probe are working

3. Mountain rescue

In the event of an accident or rescue in the mountains, call the emergency number.

What is ATES mapping?

The Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES by its acronym in English) is a tool that allows you to evaluate, describe and communicate how prone the terrain is to being affected by avalanches, without taking into account variable snow-meteorological factors.

The ATES classification was developed in 2004 by Parks Canada following an accident in which seven teenagers died, probably due to a bad choice of route. Since then, this scale has been applied to several mountain ranges in Canada and New Zealand.

In the Pyrenees, this project has been developed in the Lauegi Center of Aran, in Tavascan, in some sectors of the Aragonese Pyrenees and in Andorra.

To carry out this classification, the technicians take into account different variables such as the slope, the density of the vegetation, the traps in the terrain or the frequency and size of expected avalanches, among others.

The final product is an invariant map in which the alluvial terrain is divided into three classes.

What are the types of terrain?
Simple

Exposure to steep slopes and forest terrain. Some forest clearings may involve areas of infrequent avalanche arrivals. Many options to reduce or eliminate exposure

demanding

Exposure to well-defined avalanche path zones, exit zones or traps. There are options to reduce or eliminate exposure by careful route finding

Complex

Exposure to multiple and overlapping avalanche path zones or to large areas of open and sloping terrain. Multiple avalanche start zones with traps below. Minimal options to reduce exposure
