General Description

A la parròquia de la Massana, seguim la carretera d'Arinsal fins a arribar a l'aparcament del Parc Comunal de les Valls del Comapedrosa, on podem deixar el nostre vehicle. Comencem a caminar per una pista forestal durant aproximadament un quilòmetre i mig. Arribem a un cartell amb les indicacions de refugi i Alt del Comapedrosa. Guanyem desnivell per dins del bosc, seguint el GR11 arribem al refugi guardat de Comapedrosa. Deixem el refugi enrere, el camí és planer i molt obert durant uns tres quilòmetres que es torna exigent i amb pendent constant. Seguim les marques del GR11 (blanques i vermelles) i els punts grocs per no desorientar-nos. Continuem l'ascens fins a arribar a l'estany Negre que el vorejarem, és possible que hi hagi neu pel que és recomanable portar grampons. Deixem l'estany i seguim pujant per una tartera, agafem forces, és un tram tècnic i de forta pendent que ens farà coronar el pic. Un cop a dalt, a 2942 metres d'altura, al sostre del Principat Andorrà, podem gaudir d'unes vistes espectaculars. El descens el podem fer pel mateix lloc per on hem vingut, es recomana fer una parada al refugi per descansar i que la baixada no és faci tan llarga.

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
