Trip-summary Part of a 8-days hike from l'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre to Aulais-les-Bains, right through Andorra. In this way I linked two GR10-stopovers in a southern variant, enabling me to explore the tripoints of Andorra. On this day I crossed the Portella Blanca with bordermarker 417, picked up the GR11 and finished near Estany de L'Illa. Walking: 5½ hours. Ascending: ± 900 meters. Descending: ± 550 meters. |

Portella Blanca in sight From a distance the Portella Blanca (White Pass) is clearly visible. |

Bm427 This spot is also the eastern tripoint of Andorra with France and Spain. However: the exact spot remains uncertain. Some maps situate the actual tripoint a bit to the south. See my special webpages on The tripoints of Andorra From here I descended into Spain, picked up the GR11-trail to the west and crossed the border into Andorra. |
