Distance / elevation: 125km / +8810m
This race will appeal to experienced ultra-trail runners, with good physical and mental conditioning to complete a demanding course.
The journey will be as challenging as it is rewarding. By linking the four guarded refuges (mountain shelters) in Andorra, athletes will circumnavigate the country, crowning some of the principality’s most stunning peaks, among them, Pic del Comapedrosa, the highest in Andorra. A high-mountain circuit designed to enjoy the natural beauty of Andorra.
The race starts in the Plaça de l’Església in Ordino towards the town of Arans along the Camí Ral trail. Athletes will then start a climb towards Coll de les Cases, and the refugi Pla de l’Estany shelter passing by Les Bordes de Prats Nous, where they will reach the first aid station. From here athletes will touch the sky from the roof of Andorra, with the ascent to Pic del Comapedrosa. Descending from Refugi del Comapedrosa, athletes will pass through the Estany Negre where they can refuel and take stock at the second aid station. They will continue towards Portella de Sanfons, making the descent through the Coll de la Botella, to reach the third aid station. From here athletes will ascend to Pic de Cubil, following the ridge to the Collada Muntaner, the Pic d’Enclar, and the Pic de Carroi, following which the fourth aid station will be the reward. Athletes will then descend to the town of Sispony to link up with the Camí Ral to the Parc Central in Andorra la Vella, where there the fifth aid station awaits together with an incredible atmosphere. From here, athletes will go back up the Collada de la Caülla towards the Refugi de Prat Primer and the Refugi de Claror before reaching the sixth aid station. From here the route heads to Estany de la Nou, Collada de la Maiana, Estall Serrer, and Refugi de l’Illa until reaching the seventh aid station. The next objective will be to reach Grau Roig through the Pessons Lakes, where the eighth aid station presents the chance to regain some strength before heading up to Pic Maià. The descent will reach the Refugi Cabana de Siscaró and then the Refugi de Juclar, where the ninth aid station will be reached. Athletes will continue to Cabana Sorda, to pass through the Salamandres Lakes to Ransol i Els Plans, reaching the tenth aid station before ascending the Coll d’Arenes. Going down to the Refugi de Sorteny another aid station awaits before facing the last section of the race. The last effort will see athletes reach the Roc del Quer, Cabana de Besalí, the Serrat before finally meeting the finish line in Ordino.
