  I did the hike from Escaldes to Refugi de Fontverd. There were several hikes to choose from, this one was indicated to take 2 hours and 10 minutes. It took me 2 hours with some breaks, so the times indicated are very reasonable. The route is very well-marked. It is a tough hike since it is only uphill, you climb around 900 meters. And since I was not staying in the mountains but returning to Andorra la Vella, you hike the same path back. I absolutely loved the views and the hike though! The views are beautiful and the final stop, Fontverd, was breathtaking. The beautiful weather I was lucky enough to have of course played its part in the whole experience. If you don’t have a car, contrary to what the Tourist Office tells you, you can easily walk from downtown Andorra la Vella to the entrance of the park. Just follow the Google Maps route, worked perfectly for me. Would recommend this as a full-day activity for everyone who likes hiking and is fit enough to hike 2 hours mainly uphill, it’s worth it!

  A beautiful, unspoiled valley with stunning upland plateaus. Nature in all its glory!

  We have parked our car in Engolasters. From this point we hiked all the way to Refugi de Perafita and Estany de la Nou. The route is very tough, and it took us 3 hours to reach the Refugi (we are not trained; beginners level). Most of the time you walk through the forest, but near the Refugi the scenery was beautiful! Also near the lake (Estany de la Nou) the view was stunning. It is possible to swim and sunbath for a while.
  The Madriu-Perafita-Claror Park is on the UNESCO list and gives a lot of possibilities to walk around. Make sure you bring enough water with you and good walking shoes.

  Great experience as a trekking amateurs, going from Escaleras city (quota 1100m) to quota 2400m. We really enjoyed the valley and saw some deers as well. Time of the year: begining of May. Nice weather, we found snow after quota 2000m, so I would recommend the snow shoes.
