Mirador Roc del Quer: A Suspended Slice of Andorran Majesty
Experience breathtaking panoramic views from a suspended platform at Mirador Roc del Quer, a must-see architectural marvel in the Andorran Pyrenees.
Perched high in the Andorran Pyrenees, the Mirador Roc del Quer offers an unforgettable experience, blending natural beauty with architectural innovation. Located near Canillo, this observation deck provides sweeping views of the Montaup and Valira d'Orient valleys, showcasing vibrant greens in summer and glistening whites in winter The highlight is the 20-meter walkway, with 12 meters suspended over the precipice, creating the sensation of floating above the landscape. Designed in 2016, the cantilevered platform offers a thrilling perspective, enhanced by a glass section that amplifies the feeling of height. At the platform's edge stands a sculpture by Miguel Ángel González González, adding an artistic touch to the dramatic scenery. Before reaching the viewpoint, visitors encounter the "Self-generating Structures," a trio of totem poles created by Mexican artist Jorge Dubon in 1991. These sculptures serve as a powerful symbol of humanity's connection to the mountains. The Mirador Roc del Quer isn't just a visual spectacle; it's a place for reflection and appreciation of the natural world.
