General Description

Ruta circular que transita pels camins d'Engordany i que ens apropa fins al Mirador i l'Església de Sant Jaume d'Engordany i de Sant Romà dels Vilars, una zona tranquil·la per passejar en família.
Tindrem vistes a la ciutat, sobretot des dels dos miradors, també als horts i als camps de la zona, ens trobarem alguna font d'aigua durant la ruta i passarem per diversos bancs on poder asseure'ns a descansar.
Passarem per trams de la Ruta d'Engordany, que vol donar a conèixer les particularitats d'Engordany. Escaldes i Engordany són dues poblacions de la setena parròquia d'Andorra, ubicades a la vall central, a l'encreuament dels rius Valira d'Orient, Valira del Nord i Gran Valira. Actualment, Escaldes i Engordany configuren una única aglomeració urbana, però en origen eren dos nuclis separats i diferenciats. Engordany té un conjunt de característiques pròpies i és més antiga que Escaldes; s'han descobert restes arqueològiques al jaciment de l'Antuix datades dels segles II i I aC. Fins a principi del segle XX, Engordany tenia més població que Escaldes. Engordany ha estat tradicionalment la zona de la parròquia dedicada a l'agricultura i a la ramaderia, a diferència d'Escaldes, amb una activitat econòmica relacionada amb l'explotació de l'aigua termal. Engordany va ser l'escenari del pessebre vivent als anys cinquanta del segle XX i ha conservat alguns vestigis del passat recent del nostre país vinculats a les activitats agropecuàries.

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
