Pont Tibetà Canillo: A High-Altitude Thrill

The Pont Tibetà Canillo, located in the parish of Canillo, Andorra, is an impressive footbridge that has quickly become a major tourist attraction. Opened in June 2022, the bridge stretches 603 meters in length and hangs 158 meters above the Vall del Riu, offering visitors a thrilling experience with unparalleled views. Access to the bridge is exclusively by bus from Canillo or the Roc del Quer Viewpoint, followed by a scenic 900-meter walk. The minimalist design of the bridge enhances the natural beauty of the surroundings, providing a unique and exhilarating journey for pedestrians. The one-meter-wide walkway allows for two-way traffic, inviting visitors to soak in the views of the central valley of Canillo and the surrounding mountains. Constructed with rigorous engineering and environmental impact assessments, the Pont Tibetà aims to promote tourism and outdoor sports in the region. While crossing the bridge, visitors can feel a gentle sway, adding to the excitement. The bridge connects to various hiking trails, allowing exploration of the Andorran wilderness and its stunning flora and fauna. For those seeking an even greater adrenaline rush, a Tibetan Bridge Bungee Jump is available during certain times of the year. This activity involves a 125-meter drop from a 150-meter high platform, providing a unique perspective of the Vall del Riu.
