At the top of the Peyreguils peak, at 2,701 metres, a 27-metre needle tilted at 42.55 degrees rises from a 25-metre sphere: this is the Tristaina Mirador Solar, opened in 2021 above the Ordino Arcalís resort.

How to get up

In summer, by lifts: the Tristaina cable car climbs from the base of the resort, and from the top the Creussans chairlift leaves you about fifteen minutes' walk from the viewpoint, a little over twenty minutes of lifts in total. In 2026 the chairlift ran daily from 6 June to 1 November, from 8:45 to 17:00, with the last ascent at 15:30; the cable car, daily from 20 June to 13 September and at weekends before and after. The resort does not publish the price of the pedestrian ticket: check it on its website when you choose the day.

At sunrise, with a guide

The resort runs a walk up to watch the sun rise: 5 km round trip and 471 metres of ascent, with a guide, head torch, the descent by chairlift and breakfast at the top. It costs €55 per person with a minimum of six, or €177 for two. In winter there is a snowshoe outing.

To round it off

Combine it with the Estanys de Tristaina, which start from the same resort, or go for lunch at the Hotel Niunit restaurant, in El Serrat.
