Engolasters: CG2 - PK 2+350 (Boca est túnel Dos Valires) - 1.152 metres
Engolasters straddles a wooded ridge above the Valira d’Orient in eastern Andorra, and this elevated position ties its scattered settlement to the communities of the valley floor. Above it lies Lake Engolasters, a mountain lake used by Andorra’s hydroelectric system, alongside the Romanesque church of Sant Miquel d’Engolasters, distinguished by its Lombard-style bell tower. At the foot of the slopes, the CG-2 approaches the eastern portal of the Dos Valires Tunnel. Opened in 2012, the tunnel forms part of the connection between the parishes of Encamp and La Massana, easing through traffic away from the central valley. Its steep, forested terrain reflects the engineering demands of travel through the Pyrenees.

Few settlements in Andorra have a history as closely tied to hydroelectric development as Engolasters. Set on the slopes above the capital, it lies beside Lake Engolasters, a Pyrenean lake whose waters are channelled to the Encamp hydroelectric plant. The area is also known for Sant Miquel d’Engolasters, a 12th-century Romanesque church with a separate Lombard-style bell tower. Woodland paths around the lake connect this hillside setting with the wider parish of Encamp, while the high valley terrain reflects Andorra’s mountain character.

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.
