The Circuit of Springs, located in the parish of Escaldes-Engordany, is one of the ideal and most recommended routes for enjoying nature with the family and with pets. This flat, low-difficulty trail stretches for 2.8 kilometres, offering an accessible walk for everyone, from young children to the elderly. It is a perfect route for those looking for an outdoor activity without the effort of a demanding hike, making it a perfect option for a relaxing excursion day.
The route starts at the Fonts parking area (42.517730714270144, 1.5708239463971827), ), just before the Engolasters Lake, making it easy for those arriving by car to get there. From there, the path extends along a route that is kept largely in the shade thanks to the abundant vegetation of the area, creating a cool and ideal environment to enjoy the walk without worrying about the heat during the hottest summer months.
For those who wish to extend the walk, they can do so along the Coll Jovel, a slightly steeper route that leads to a picnic area with views of the Vall del Madriu.
In addition to being an activity for all kinds of public, The Circuit of Springs is completely free of charge. This allows families and visitors to enjoy, for example, a picnic in nature, without worrying about the budget, making the path an accessible and economical option for everyone.
Additionally, the accessibility and proximity to Escaldes-Engordany make this itinerary a convenient option for both local residents and visitors.
Some of the most outstanding features of the Fountains Trail is its suitability for blind people, being the only route in Andorra duly signposted to facilitate orientation for the visually impaired. During the route we will find numerous natural springs as we go along, which gives the name of Mirador de Les Fonts to the itinerary.
From GuiAND® we would like to highlight the Mirador de Les Fonts (42.51410765715252, 1.5670421850360299) as one of the most important features of the walk. This viewpoint offers impressive panoramic views from where you can appreciate a unique perspective of Escaldes-Engordany and Andorra la Vella, and enjoy the beauty of the urban and natural landscape that characterises the region. It is an essential place to stop, take photographs and simply contemplate the surroundings.
Whether you are travelling with small children, adults or pets, The Circuit of Springs is the ideal choice for enjoying nature comfortably, safely and without overspending.
