Tristaina offers a unique summer experience: 360° views, accessible nature, and gastronomy at 2,000 meters.

Located at an altitude of 2,701 meters, atop Peyreguils, the Tristaina Solar Viewpoint has established itself as one of the major summer tourist attractions in Ordino Arcalís. Since its inauguration in July 2021, over 300,000 visitors have reached this circular structure that combines architecture and landscape, in a setting offering exceptional panoramic views of the Tristaina lakes and the natural border with France, with the imposing Pica d’Estats as a backdrop.

Access to the viewpoint is easy and designed for all audiences. Simply take the Tristaina gondola and the Creussans chairlift, then embark on a leisurely 12-minute walk along a mountain path. A brief yet impactful journey, where the horizon unfolds amidst ridges, valleys, and water reflections.

An experience that unites landscape and contemplation.
The Solar Viewpoint is not merely an elevated spot. Its circular design, inspired by a sundial, allows observation of the passage of the day, the sun's trajectory, and the changes in light bathing the Andorran Pyrenees. During summer, it has become a gathering place for hikers, families, and nature lovers, who find in this space a privileged observation deck to connect with the mountain without great physical exertion.

Ordino Arcalís thus reinforces its profile as a high-mountain destination beyond winter, offering a quality alternative for those seeking accessible hiking, well-preserved nature, and infrastructure respectful of the environment.
