Just imagine: you wake up at Els Llacs Mountain Apartments, you open the window and the fresh morning air rushes in. In front of you, the mountains remind you that you have come to Andorra to spend time with your family, far from the heat of the city and screens. Nearby, the Vall d’Incles awaits you with its unique surroundings and trails for all levels.
Hiking in the Incles Valley is a highly recommended activity for enjoying nature without great physical demands. Located just a few minutes’ drive from our apartments, it combines high mountain landscapes with spaces that invite you to walk at a leisurely pace.
A perfect environment for walking with children
The Camí de l’Obac, in the Incles Valley, is an ideal easy hike for all ages. It is about 3 kilometres long and follows the course of the river with a gentle slope, making it easily adaptable to different physical levels. Along the way, the landscape alternates between stretches of forest and open areas that allow you to contemplate the valley in all its splendour.
The route ends at the bottom of the valley, where other itineraries to lakes and peaks begin.
The return trip can be made along the same trail or by road
In summer, access to private vehicles is restricted and an electric train runs along this road; it is advisable to buy tickets at the start of the valley to ensure a seat.
At the bottom of the valley and along the road, you will find a few restaurants where you can take a break and recharge your batteries before continuing your day.
Hiking in the Incles Valley for all levels
Hiking in the Incles Valley is not exclusively for families with young children. The more adventurous with a good level of fitness can extend the route to more demanding destinations, such as Lake Juclà, the largest in Andorra, the Cabana Sorda refuge or Lake Siscaró. These options require more time and effort, but they reward you with spectacular views and a deeper connection with the mountains.
Practical tips for the outing
To ensure a comfortable and safe experience, it is important to prepare a few basic items:
- Comfortable and sturdy footwear: preferably hiking boots or mountain shoes with good soles.
- Sun protection: even on cloudy days, the altitude can intensify radiation.
- Water and some food: a light picnic or fruit to replenish your energy.
- Layered clothing: in the mountains, the temperature can change quickly, especially in the morning and late afternoon.
- Small backpack: to carry the essentials without carrying too much weight.
It is advisable to check the weather forecast before setting off and to wear clothing suitable for the conditions on the day.
