Bordes d’Envalira, a high-mountain retreat in the heart of Canillo

A picture-perfect setting at high altitude

Bordes d’Envalira is one of the most authentic and peaceful spots in the parish of Canillo. Located near the Envalira Pass, at over 2,000 meters above sea level, these traditional stone and wood mountain huts form an architectural ensemble that reflects Andorra’s pastoral and agricultural heritage.

A haven for nature and adventure

From this privileged location, the views over the Pyrenean landscape are simply spectacular. In winter, the area is covered in a thick blanket of snow, becoming a perfect base for enjoying Grandvalira ski slopes, easily accessible from Soldeu and Grau Roig. In summer, hiking along the high mountain trails offers pure air, silence, and untouched nature.

Tranquility and authenticity

The mountain huts have been restored with respect for their original style, many of them transformed into shelters, homes, or rural accommodations. This gives a unique charm to this small settlement that has preserved the essence of Andorran mountain life.

A historic mountain pass

Thanks to its proximity to the Envalira Pass, one of the highest in the Pyrenees, Bordes d’Envalira has historically been an important waypoint for herders, hikers, and skiers. Today, it remains an ideal spot to pause, breathe deeply, and connect with the purest and highest side of Andorra.

If you’re looking for scenery, peace, and authenticity, Bordes d’Envalira will capture your heart.
