The Orri
is located next to the trail that accesses the Planès Valley, a seldom
visited place where Nature is unspoiled and the landscapes are beautiful.
Here, you will find deer, mountain goats, isards (Pyrenees goat-deer), wild
boar, foxes and marmots living among dense pine forests and idyllic flower-filled
meadows.
From the house, the
marked trail climbs steeply to the small Planès pond (2,196 m). A popular
destination for hikers, the pond is located in an unusual setting below the
dramatic rock wall called the Malesa.
At the pond, the valley
divides in two parts. The main branch climbs to a pass that looks over a mountain
cirque crowned by the Torre d'Eyna mountain. From here, you can climb to either
the Roc del Boc (2774 m) or the Torre d'Eyna (2850 m) peak.
The other much less
known part of the valley is called the Coma Amagada (the hidden valley). It
ends in a mountain cirque with access to the ridge above linking the Torre
d'Eyna mountain (2850 m) with the Cambra d'Ase (2711 m).
From the Torre d'Eyna,
its possible to access the ridge that forms the natural border between France
and Spain. Following this route, a one day walk from the
Orri will bring you into the famous Núria Valley in
Spain.
