Living in Els Cortals d'Encamp, a unique natural environment in the heart of Andorra
Unique in Andorra because of its singularity and beauty, the Els Cortals d'Encamp area has become one of the most visited places in the whole Principality. With an enviable natural environment, Els Cortals d'Encamp not only stands out as a tourist destination during the winter period, when it becomes a real centre of attraction for thousands of skiers, but also during summer, attracting a good number of hiking and mountain biking lovers to its sides.
From this point, the Els Cortals d'Encamp road, of 14.3 km and with a characteristic aroma to meadows and nature, offers one of the most beautiful routes in the whole Principality. Thus, through winding curves, we will discover incredible edges hidden between leafy landscapes, closed pastures and bucolic corals that, without a doubt, are a faithful reflection of the Pyrenean life of past times. All this combined, besides, with incredible views to the Encamp valley, which, as gaining altitude, are lost on the horizon to give way to new landscapes just as impressive as them.
Along with these incredible high mountains landscapes, the demanding slopes offered by Els Cortals d'Encamp, with 10% gradient ramps, are another of the great attractions that make this place one of the hardest and most emblematic mountain ports in Andorra. For this reason, it is not surprising that climbing to the summit of Els Cortals pass has become a real challenge for amateur and professional cyclists, to the point of being visited regularly in the demanding stages of Vuelta España or the mythical “La Purito Andorra”ycling tour designed by the former professional cyclist resident in Andorra, Joaquim “Purito” Rodríguez.
Living in Els Cortals d'Encamp is, therefore, to live in a unique natural environment, a unique place in Andorra where tradition and modernity converge in perfect harmony. With edges of stone and wood perfectly blended with the landscape, the fields and meadows surrounding Els Cortals d'Encamp evoke, without a doubt, one of the purest and genuine Pyrenean essences that can be experienced throughout the Principality.
