ROC DEL QUER VIEWPOINT
ROC DEL QUER VIEWPOINT
The Roc del Quer Viewpoint is one of the places you will never forget. Panoramic views that are etched in the retina forever and, in this case, are much more than that: enjoy the full experience of being suspended in the air, as if the Pyrenees were embracing you. This viewpoint has already become one of the most famous places in Andorra. You cannot miss it!
The Roc del Quer Viewpoint is actually a 20-meter-long walkway. 8 of the 20 meters sit on the mainland, but the other 12 go into the panorama itself: this part of the walkway consists of a projection suspended in the air, so it will make you believe that you are floating and flying. Much of the pavement is clear glass, highlighting the feeling of height and suspension.
HOW DO YOU GET TO THE VIEWPOINT?
Although it is not at the foot of the road, getting to the viewpoint is easy. After taking the road of Montaup, at km 6.5, you will find a large parking area on the left. From here, the viewpoint path is a few steps away.
