Favorite
Vistes del poble de la Massana i al fons apareix el pic de Carroi. Un fantàstic racó trobem aquí, amb la tranquil·litat de l'entorn i les fantàstiques vistes de la parròquia acompanyats de natura.
Passem per aquest sector on trobem cases antigues de la parròquia. LA FARGA ROSSELL – CENTRE D’INTERPRETACIÓ Avui és un exemple viu del patrimoni preindustrial d’Andorra. La Farga Rossell, completament restaurada i convertida en Centre d’Interpretació del Ferro, et mostrarà mitjançant un audiovisual com es produeix la transformació del mineral de ferro en lingots i la importància de la metal·lúrgia a Andorra. En finalitzar la visita, també veuràs el funcionament del martinet propulsat per aigua i com es produïen antigament els lingots, tot amb eines d’època. Tanmateix, també descobriràs artefactes i instruments d'elaboració com el bufador i el forn, entre d'altres.
Camí de Santa Caterina Plaça de les Fontetes, aquí trobem a part de les terrasses i espai per asseure i prendre algun refrigeri, també l'Oficina de Turisme de la Massana on podem demanar informació de tota mena de la parròquia.

Mountain tours can be dangerous, which is why it is your responsibility to take all the necessary measures to safeguard your safety and integrity.

1. Preparation of the itinerary

Check the weather forecast before your departure

Take into account your physical condition and your experience in the environment

Consult the avalanche danger bulletin in winter times

Plan a suitable route knowing shelter points

2. Essential material

Bring the appropriate material for the activity and weather conditions

The rucksack cannot lack drink and food adapted to the departure

Don't forget to check beforehand that the DVA, Shovel and Probe are working

3. Mountain rescue

In the event of an accident or rescue in the mountains, call the emergency number.

What is ATES mapping?

The Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES by its acronym in English) is a tool that allows you to evaluate, describe and communicate how prone the terrain is to being affected by avalanches, without taking into account variable snow-meteorological factors.

The ATES classification was developed in 2004 by Parks Canada following an accident in which seven teenagers died, probably due to a bad choice of route. Since then, this scale has been applied to several mountain ranges in Canada and New Zealand.

In the Pyrenees, this project has been developed in the Lauegi Center of Aran, in Tavascan, in some sectors of the Aragonese Pyrenees and in Andorra.

To carry out this classification, the technicians take into account different variables such as the slope, the density of the vegetation, the traps in the terrain or the frequency and size of expected avalanches, among others.

The final product is an invariant map in which the alluvial terrain is divided into three classes.

What are the types of terrain?
Simple

Exposure to steep slopes and forest terrain. Some forest clearings may involve areas of infrequent avalanche arrivals. Many options to reduce or eliminate exposure

demanding

Exposure to well-defined avalanche path zones, exit zones or traps. There are options to reduce or eliminate exposure by careful route finding

Complex

Exposure to multiple and overlapping avalanche path zones or to large areas of open and sloping terrain. Multiple avalanche start zones with traps below. Minimal options to reduce exposure
