Living in Encamp, gateway to Grandvalira
Encamp is the first big city that can be found after leaving behind the central valley by the main road 2, towards France, thus entering the valley of the east. It is located at a height of 1238 meters and had a population estimated by the statistical department of the government of Andorra of 7,766 inhabitants in 2016.
Encamp is the gateway to Grandvalira, the largest ski resort in the Pyrenees, formed by what were once the ski resorts of Encamp, Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, Canillo, El Tarter and Soldeu. The Funicamp cable-car, with its 6 km by Els Cortals and a positive altitude of 1250 positive meters, connects the centre of the city with the base of the Encamp-Grandvalira sector, offering a range of possible sport activities both in winter and summer.
This same tour can be done by car, where different refreshment stations to enjoy a mountain day can be found, as well as beautiful and demanding mountain passes to make by bicycle. A detour half way offers a peaceful, flat and careful pedestrian walk of 3 km that ends in the 'Engolasters Lake', a very popular center of leisure and mountain activities throughout the year. Apart from accessing Encamp from the capital by the CG-2, we can also access it from La Massana through the tunnel of the two Valiras or by the mountain pass of Anyós and Beixalís, excellent also for the cycling lovers as part of the famous and the most demanding major stage of 'La Vuelta 2015'
Life in Encamp is calm and familiar. Together with the villages of Les Bons, El Tremat, La Mosquera and Vila, they form a single main urban core. Businesses allow to live there without having to travel to other locations. Large parks and garden areas capture most of the family leisure and free time of the residents, along with restaurants, huts and cafes where good food, party rooms and sports facilities can be enjoyed.
For a few years now, the road traffic towards the rest of the towns in towards France has been diverted by the periphery of the town, thus avoiding disturbances to its citizens.
