MOUNTAIN SAFETY ADVICE
- Choose your walk according tp your experience and physical condition.

- Before you leave, check the weather and avalanche forecasts.
- Wear suitable clothing and footwear, carry food and drink, and protect yourself from sun and bad weather conditions.
This circular circuit with over 1,000 metres of incline takes the visitor on a journey around the area of Claror-Perafita, within a National Park declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some stretches follow the signposts of the GRP route.
From Prat Primer down to the Claror shelter, you might be able to hear and, with a bit of luck, see, some marmots. From there, the route follows the GRP along the Estany de la Nou path, where the Pic Negre mountain comes into view.
The Estany de la Nou is quite unusual as, unlike most lakes in the Pyrenees, river water flows there. It is fed by the phreatic waters that run underground and come to the surface as a stream near the Perafita River, which means that it always maintains its water level. It is the southernmost lake in the Principality and the warmest.

Located in the southeast of the parish of Andorra la Vella, Prat Primer is a circular trail of a high difficulty level, due to its incline (more than 900 metres). It begins at the La Comella picnic area, then follows along the signposted path through the Palomera Forest: a deciduous forest with downy oaks, boxes and common dogwood, as well as birds like the robin, blackcap, blackbird and blue tit.
On the wooded, gentle slope over which this route passes, there are three rivers: the La Comella, the Forn and the Prat Primer, the latter of which runs through an incredible glacial valley. All of these watercourses are part of the basin of the Valira River.

This is a nearly 25 km trail, where you can discover the Enclar mountain range, ascending via the sunny slope of Bony de la Pica up to the peak of Enclar, then descending the shaded Sispony side. You can discover the old trails that joined together the main Andorran urban centres until arriving back at the starting point: Santa Coloma. This route is for people in good physical condition who are experienced in long trails on irregular terrain with steep slopes.
Despite being a little-known and therefore little-frequented route, it is a trail with stark contrasts that passes along a stretch of the popular GRP route (which forms a loop all the way around Andorra).
The Enclar mountain range, located in the southwest of Andorra, just above Andorra la Vella, is quite unusual in comparison with the other mountains that surround it. It is made up of mainly metamorphic rocks, especially schist, which give it its characteristic reddish tone. This colour contrasts with the block of green created by the evergreen oak forest that stretches out over its sunny slope.

- Finish: Carrer Major of Santa Coloma.
- Altitude difference: : +2.402 m / -947 m.

The Tomb de Prat Primer hiking route presents a certain degree of difficulty.
This is an interesting route as you’re within one of the buffer or peripheral zones close-by the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley, the greatest example of cultural landscape of Andorra and one of exceptional universal value, hence in 2004 the area was declared a UNESCO Cultural Landscape World Heritage Site.
To reach the starting point, take the Comella road (CS-101) from Andorra la Vella and follow it until reaching kilometre 4. Turn right at the intersection for the Comella Parc Residential Area. Then you’ll come to a small car park where you can park your vehicle. Next to the car park you’ll find an information sign for the Prat Primer path. (42º 29' 54.474", 1º 31' 49.6626")
