>> stadesport.comHey, hikers! We're diving into a hidden gem in the heart of Europe with thisn one – the Andorra Coronallacs Trail. It's a big walk in a little country, and I can't wait to spill the beans on this one.So, what's the Coronallacs Trail all about, you ask? Well, it's this fantastic circular hiking route that connects four staffed shelters scattered across the picturesque country of Andorra. Picture 92 kilometers of pure mountain bliss, split into five stages ranging from 13 to 22 kilometers each. That's an average of 18.4 km per day – just the right amount of challenge for us seasoned hikers.Now, the genius of this trail – you get to bunk down in each of these mountain shelters overnight, making your pack a whole lot lighter. The difficulty? Well, it's a bit of a rollercoaster – ranging from medium to medium-high, depending on the section.The Coronallacs is like a symphony of stages with varying difficulty and duration, ensuring you get a taste of high-mountain life in Andorra.Our journey kicks off in Escaldes-Engordany, right at the heart of the action. But, before you hit the trail, swing by the tourist office with your web reservation voucher to snag your exclusive pass. They'll even toss in a map – can't beat that.Look out for those GRP (Gran Recorrido del País) yellow and red marks guiding your way, and keep an eye out for the black and light blue signs sporting the Coronallacs logo – they're like your trail angels.Before you embark on the Coronallacs trail, pop back into the Escaldes-Engordany Tourist Office with your reservation voucher. The pass is the golden ticket for web reservation champs. Finish the trail, stamp your passport at all four mountain shelters, and boom – you earn yourself a Coronallacs Buff headband and a certificate to showcase your hiking triumph. Oh, and if you rented a solar phone charger, return it and claim back that deposit.For all your post-hike celebrations or if you've got questions, hit up the Escaldes-Engordany Tourist Office at Plaça Santa Anna s/n, AD700 Escaldes-Engordany, or give them a buzz at +376 890 881. They're open most days, except for dilluns (that's Monday) to dissabte (that's Saturday), from 9 am to 1 pm and from 3 pm to 7 pm, and from 9 am to 1 pm.And if you're coming from Barcelona Sants to join the adventure, hop on that 3-hour bus to Andorra la Vella.
