Castellar bridge-Fontblanca peak-Portella de Rialb pass-Rialb refuge- Sorteny Natural Park car park
The Fontblanca (or Rialb) peak is, at 2,903 metres, one of the seven mountains in Andorra that are over 2,900 metres high. Magnificent itinerary in traverse that will take us from Comís Vell to Rialb valley, to finish at the Sorteny Natural Park car park. If the weather is good, the views from the top are breathtaking.

The path that links the Comís Vell valley with the Rialb valley passes through the Portella de Rialb pass, which is located between the Fontblanca and Besalí peaks. From the pass we will go down through the whole valley of Rialb to the Sorteny Natural Park car park through splendid high mountain scenery.
