General Description

Comencem la ruta d'avui a l'aparcament del parc natural de la Vall de Sorteny. Agafem la pista forestal i a uns 480 metres agafarem el camí del Grau de la Llosa, que va pel costat del riu de Sorteny fins a tornar a sortir a la pista forestal. Arribem al jardí botànic, i l'escultura de "l'Estripagecs". Continuem per la pista seguint les indicacions fins a arribar al refugi guardat Borda de Sorteny. Just al costat del refugi, un rètol amb les indicacions al planell del Quer i Mirador. Agafem aquest sender que ens farà guanyar desnivell fins a arribar al planell del Quer on ens desviarem uns 300 metres per visitar el mirador Grau de la Llosa. Tornem a la nostra ruta, ara el camí és tot de baixada on podrem anar gaudint d'unes vistes precioses a la vall i el riu de Rialb. Seguim baixant fins a arribar a un portell per al bestiar, el creuem i continuem el descens per dins del bosc, seguint el riu fins a arribar al berenador de la canya de la Rabassa i a pocs metres més endavant, l'aparcament i el final de la nostra ruta.

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
