Soldeu: CG2 - PK 16+486 (Incles) - 1.743 metres
Few places in Andorra have a history as closely tied to the rise of mountain tourism as Soldeu. Set in the Valira d’Orient valley in the Pyrenees, it developed from a high-mountain community into one of the principal access points to Grandvalira, Andorra’s largest ski area. The CG-2, the country’s main northern road, runs through the valley and connects the area with central Andorra and the French border. Stone-faced homes, hotels and mountain-sports facilities occupy the narrow corridor between wooded slopes and the river. Lifts and mountain routes continue above the settlement towards the open alpine terrain around Espiolets. Soldeu belongs to Canillo parish, one of Andorra’s seven historic parishes and part of its Catalan-speaking culture.

Among the countries of the eastern Pyrenees, Andorra stands out for its high mountain valleys and Catalan character. Set between France and Spain, this landlocked state is crossed by the Valira river system, whose valleys concentrate its towns, roads and much of everyday life. Catalan is the official language, and the capital, Andorra la Vella, brings together government, commerce and mountain access. In the east, the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List as a cultural landscape shaped over centuries by pastoral use. Winter sports are central to the national calendar, while hiking and cycling take over when the snow recedes.
