Sorteny Valley Natural Park
Parc Natural de la Vall de Sorteny
A nature park famed for its alpine plants, where about 800 species bloom in summer, with gentle trails suitable for families.
The Sorteny Valley lies near the village of El Serrat in the north of Ordino, between 1,800 and 2,900 metres above sea level. Known as Andorra's 'botanical garden', it has around 800 alpine plant species on record, roughly half the country's total. At the entrance you'll find a visitor centre and a botanic garden. A gentle path leads to the Sorteny refuge, about 2 hours round trip. Those who are fit can continue to Estanyó lake or climb the peaks. The flowers are at their best from June to August. Please do not pick the plants.
