We were staying in a nearby hotel and visited the lakes twice.The road to the lakes is closed from 8.30 am till 5.30pm so we had to go up in the cable car which was a good experience.The walk from the cable car station to the lakes is not to difficult and you will be rewarded with spectacular views.

The largest ski area in the Pyrenees (210km of runs)
We visited as a party of six, ranging from a black-run beast to two who had never been on skis before. The ski instructors were excellent. The lifts were fast and efficient There was a huge variety of ski slopes to suit all of our abilities. The cafes and bars we all great with a good selection of food - including gluten free beer and sandwiches. The ski area is big enough to provide a different area to explore every day. We were based in El Tarter, which requires a gondola to lift you to the ski area; and we managed to visit Pas de la Casa in one direction and Canillo in the other direction. Negatives? Not many: we couldn't ski back to our hotel; and it was a three hour bus journey from Barcelona airport (it would have been the same time from Toulouse). Despite the transfer time, I'd recommend Grandvalira!

What a stunning little place in the snow! Decided to take a stomp into the wilderness, and that's exactly what it is, just a few houses and cabins, then within minutes it's just you and nature. Like stepping back in time into a medieval forest on the mountainside. Breathtaking place if you're lucky enough to catch the snow ...

The building dates from the 11th-12th century and follows the architectural style of other Andorran Romanesque churches: it has a rectangular single nave with wooden ceiling, a semi-circular apse andLombard-style belfry. It conserves two archways probably built in the16th and 17th centuries.The interior has remains of a 12th century Romanesque stucco crucifix surrounded by a mural showing the crucifixion with Longinus andStephanon accompanied by the Sun and Moon. Behind the altar grillis a highly artistic 16th century altarpiece showing Italian and German Renaissance influence with scenes from the life and martyrdomof Saint John, author of the book of Revelations and patron saint ofthe church.
A well-preserved small church, wonderful example of Romaesque architecture, with an unusual crucifix.

The Rossell Forge was built between 1842 and 1846 and, except fora short period of inactivity, remained open until 1876. This makes it one of the last active forges in Andorra and a living example of the country's pre-industrial heritage.The Rossell Forge has now become an Interpretation Centre aboutiron. Using audiovisuals and a drop hammer demonstration, it explains the process of transforming iron ore into ingots and their subsequent sale to Catalan markets. The tools used to work with this material arealso on show: bellows, furnace, etc.
