Sornás: CG3 - PK 9+200 (Ordino Nord) - 1.280 metres
Among the places of Andorra, Sornàs stands out for its compact setting beside the Valira del Nord in the parish of Ordino. The hamlet lies on the CG-3 corridor, north of Ordino, where the road follows a narrow Pyrenean valley enclosed by wooded slopes. Houses reflect the local mountain building tradition, with stone walls, slate roofs and timber balconies adapted to limited level ground. Sornàs belongs to an area shaped by small-scale pastoral life and Andorra’s network of valley roads, rather than the denser commercial districts farther south. Its position makes it a useful reference point for the northern part of the principality and the routes towards Ordino’s higher valleys.

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.
