We leave from the village of Serrat in Ordino. We take the forest track on the main road just before the Pradet Hotel towards Els Prats d’Encodina (1,725 m). We walk along the trail until we reach a very large esplanade, an ideal place to discover the important great livestock activity of Andorra: cattle, sheep, horses and goats. What's more, there is a large picnic area, ideal for a break and a bite to eat while enjoying a spectacular view. We will also find DINO, the Tamarro of Ordino, a naughty being, half legend and half popular imagination.

After the Planell d’Encodina, we continue the path where we will find several shepherd's huts, rebuilt using the dry stone technique, until we reach the Castellar bridge where we will find another mountain hut and the path that leads to the Esbalçat lake, towards the La Font Blanca peak and the Tristaina lakes.

We return the same way.
