Andorra / Natural / regional park

Parc Natural Comunal de les Valls del Comapedrosa

La MassanaPyrenees

Above Arinsal, the developed valley soon gives way to woods, waterfalls, rocky lake basins and ridges around Andorra’s highest point. Comapedrosa suits a visit with days of different intensity: explore lower paths separately from a demanding summit ascent. You do not need to reach the highest summit for a rewarding park day. Match your objective to weather and experience, and contact the refuge before an overnight trip: snow and avalanche conditions can transform these routes.

Before you visit

Camping & bivouacs

The park’s visitor guidance requires permission for more than three tents. Following the May 2026 management-plan update, confirm the place and conditions for any intended overnight camp with mediambient@comumassana.ad. A smaller group is not automatically permitted in every zone.
