Sorteny is a natural park at the head of the Ordino valley that you visit for its flora: it has a botanical garden of almost three hundred species from the valley itself. You enter by a turn-off 1.4 km from El Serrat, on the Arcalís road, and from the car park everything is done on foot and without hurry.
What to do
The botanical garden, of about 800 m², is about twenty minutes' walk along the track: almost three hundred species of the park's flora, best from late June to late July, with some flowering still in August. For short walks there are three self-guided trails, the marten one, 500 m, the squirrel one, 600, and the Grau de la Llosa one, 400, and a 4 km loop for watching birds and butterflies. Higher up, the staffed refuge of the Borda de Sorteny serves meals for most of the year: +376 846 446.
Guided outings in summer
On Mondays and Wednesdays to the Grau de la Llosa viewpoint, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays to the Estany de l'Estanyó, with a stop at the refuge. They cost €16.72 for adults and €8.36 for ages 6 to 12, with parking included; they are not recommended under age 6. Book at the Ordino tourist office, on +376 878 173 or at ot@ordino.ad.
Parking and rules
The car park has about fifty spaces, free all year except from 1 July to 1 September, from 8:30 to 16:00, when it costs €4. The track that continues towards the Cap dels Graus is closed to cars from June to September from 8:30 to 18:00. Motorhomes may stay from 8:00 to 20:00, without overnighting. In Ordino dogs must always be on a lead in the natural environment, and you must pick up after them.
