The route to the peak of Percanela and the Angonella Ponds, is another of the best hiking routes you can take in Andorra in the summer, not only for the amazing views you will have from the various sections, but also for how demanding it is. In other words, this route is ideal for those of you who like challenges and, very importantly, that you are in good physical shape as well.
This route starts at the same point as the previous one, on the path marked by the sign “Camí de Percanela. Les Fonts”. In fact, the starting section is the same one as that of the “Pla de l’Estany” route, until you reach the “Bordes dels Prats Nous” crossing point, where you will have to take the path to the “Collada del Clot del Cavall”, passing through the Ros Gros Forest. At this point the route will continue towards the Percanela Peak, at 2,422m altitude.
From the peak, just in the opposite direction you are coming, you will see a small mountain, with a narrow path crossing it. That is the one you have to take. If you follow it, you will cross the Avier Mountain Range (Serra de l’Avier) until finally reaching the Angonella Ponds. NOTICE: The final stretch to the first pond is quite dangerous, as it is very steep and full of small stones that make it slippery. So, let me insist on the importance of taking hiking poles that give you greater support throughout the trail.
