Itinerary description
Engolasters Lake is one of the most well-known and accessible lakes in Andorra, but not because of this less beautiful. The lake itself is worth a visit, but what we really love are the surroundings: lush green forests, picnic areas, and a lookout that overlooks the country's capital.
Only 10 minutes by car separate the city centre of Andorra La Vella from the lake. Because of this and its accessibility (the parking lot is only a short walk from the lake), it tends to be pretty crowded in summer.
The hike we propose combines circling the lake with a walk through the forest and exploring the Circuit de les Fonts later. This is a circular flat circuit through the woods with a lookout and a picnic area. So the route is definitely varied!
If you want to complete your day, there are several activities you can do without moving the car at all. Fans of climbing will find their place in the Circuit de les Fonts, which has several climbing routes along the trail. If you would rather ride your bike, there is a bike park next to the parking lot. Finally, children (and adults too!) can have fun at Bosc Aventura, an adventure park with four aerial circuits featuring zip lines, bridges, and other cool obstacles!
