Engolasters: CG2 - PK 2+370 (Boca est túnel Dos Valires) - 1.154 metres
Among the places of Andorra, Engolasters stands out for its position at the eastern entrance to the Dos Valires Tunnel. This road link runs beneath the ridge between the parishes of Encamp and La Massana, easing travel across the central valleys without passing through Andorra la Vella. Above the built-up valley floor, the Engolasters area is associated with Lake Engolasters, a small mountain lake, and with Sant Miquel d’Engolasters, a Romanesque church noted for its slender bell tower. The Valira d’Orient valley lies to the west, while steep, developed slopes and major roads show how closely Andorra’s settlements and transport routes fit into 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.
