Mirador Roc del Quer: A Viewpoint on the Edge
Experience breathtaking panoramic views from a suspended platform in the Andorran Pyrenees. A unique blend of nature and art.
Perched high in the Andorran Pyrenees, the Mirador Roc del Quer offers an unforgettable experience, blending natural beauty with human artistry. Inaugurated in July 2016, this observation deck provides panoramic views of the Montaup and Valira d'Orient valleys, stretching from Soldeu to Encamp. The highlight is the cantilevered platform, extending 12 meters out from the cliff edge, creating the sensation of floating above the valley. A portion of the platform features a transparent glass floor, heightening the thrill. At the end of the walkway stands 'The Ponderer,' a statue by Argentinian sculptor Miguel Ángel González, inviting contemplation of the surrounding beauty. Before reaching the platform, visitors encounter 'Self-generating Structures,' three totem poles created in 1991 by Mexican sculptor Jorge Dubon, symbolizing humanity's connection to the mountains. The viewpoint is accessible via a short, 400-meter path from a large parking area.
