General Description

Iniciem la ruta des de la plaça de les Fontetes de la Massana, al costat del telecabina de Pal, i seguim el track en direcció descendent fins a la part més baixa de la població, per continuar pel camí de les Gravades, que ens porta fins a l'Aldosa . Després d'arribar a la carretera CS-335, ens dirigim cap a la dreta, direcció Anyós. Passats 2 km, girem cap a l'esquerra en direcció al coll de Beixalís, per la CS-310. Al km Núm. 3 de la nostra ruta ens desviarem per continuar per una pista forestal que ens evita alguns trams de carretera, aquesta pista connecta de nou amb la carretera CS-310 durant 500 m per continuar per dins del bosc per la zona dels Oriosos i Cortals d'Anyós, amb unes bones vistes sobre tot el vessant oest d'Andorra, amb cims com el de Carroi, Cubil de Pal i Comapedrosa, entre d'altres. En aquest segment de pujada afrontarem un tram curt de pujada on el pendent i l'estat natural de la pujada la fa força tècnica, és un tram de 50 m, després, seguirem per una senda en pujada molt divertida que ens treu al km 6,4 sortirem de nou a la carretera, des d'aquí baixarem uns metres per la carretera i veurem a la nostra dreta la pista que ens porta fins a la Font del Mallol; és una pista tranquil·la que porta a l'esplanada del coll de l'Estall on trobarem la Font del Mallol. Tot seguit continuarem pujant per un corriol que va matant les cotes de forma controlada i no excessivament tècnic, ens portarà al punt més alt de la ruta des d'on iniciarem el nostre primer descens que ens farà passar per un mirador espectacular. Seguim pel corriol sense gaire inclinació, però amb algunes zones d'arrels que ho fan força tècnic en alguns punts que baixa fins a la carretera que puja al coll d'Ordino. Des d'aquest punt, opcionalment, podem acabar de pujar al coll o baixar cap a Ordino. Si optem per baixar, ho farem inicialment per la mateixa carretera asfaltada i, passats 200 m, seguirem pel sender de l'antic Camí Vell, és una baixada llarga i amb alguns punts tècnics, aconsellem anar fent parada per descansar i continuar gaudint de la baixada fins a retrobar novament la carretera. Continuarem el descens i ens desviarem cap a l'esquerra, al punt quilomètric 1,6 de la CS-345, en direcció a la zona de la Gonarda i posteriorment fins a l'Aldosa. Les darreres pedalades de l'itinerari les tornarem a fer pel camí de les Gravades, en sentit contrari al de l'inici de la ruta, fins a tornar a la Massana.

Safety tips

Enjoy the mountain safely

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
