Llorts, between La Cortinada and El Serrat, had an iron mine that can now be visited inside, along a short stretch of tunnel. Beside it starts the Ruta del Ferro, an easy path, mostly downhill, with open-air sculptures.
The mine
The walk along the tunnel is thirty metres. In 2026 it opened from 16 June, from 9:30 to 17:30, with the last entry at 17:00; it closed on Sundays and Mondays except in July and August, when it opened daily, and in October at weekends only, until 1 November. The ticket costs €6.75 for adults, €3.75 for ages 6 to 12 and nothing up to 5. Book online or at the Ordino tourist office, on +376 878 173.
The Ruta del Ferro
It is 4.24 km and about an hour, easy, with GR waymarks and 101 metres of net descent. Along the way you come across six sculptures by artists such as Khimoune, Brusse and Sato, and the Font de Ferro, the iron spring. With a dog, on a lead, as throughout the parish's natural environment.
How to fit it in
