This spectacular viewpoint belongs to a circular route of about 11km that can be done easily in about 4 hours. The level of difficulty is low, being the first section of the route the most complicated for having some unevenness and rocky areas of low difficulty. It is a very rewarding route where you can enjoy wonderful views and that you can link, if you feel like continuing the tour, with other viewpoints.
The Puerto de Envalira viewpoint is located at an altitude of over 2,400 meters, a few kilometers from the urban center of Pas de la Casa. Located in an over-width of the road, the viewpoint has a vegetation area, a pedestrian section and a parking lot, among other spaces. Facing the village of Encamp, this viewpoint offers spectacular views over the Orient valley. To enhance your experience, the space also has two wooden benches, which will invite you to stop for a few moments to breathe and disconnect while contemplating the landscape that surrounds you! However, the attraction of this viewpoint does not end here, because, despite the spectacular views over the encamped mountains, this viewpoint will make you travel back in time: the space has a small house -fully sustainable and powered by solar panels and batteries- built with the essence of the first hut built in Pas de la Casa, where you can learn firsthand how the cowboys lived in the past.
Built in 1998, the Funicamp is the gateway to the richness and history of the environment and the Pyrenean landscape, and places Encamp practically at the foot of the slopes. It is the only funitel cable car in the Pyrenees. The cabins have 24 seats. In summer it is also the starting point for many hiking trails and guided 4x4 excursions, a comfortable and different way to discover high mountain scenery, hiking or try your luck with fishing. There is also the possibility of stopping at the intermediate station of Funicamp to enjoy a walk through the valley of Els Cortals, where we can photograph its peculiar rural and mountain landscape or go through a via ferrata, various routes on foot or practice climbing in the outdoor climbing wall of Els Cortals and even live a unique experience -on the route that goes from the Cubil Lake to the Pessons Lake- as it is to observe marmots.
