The Orri trail - Encenrera

This route crosses the meadows north of Pessons, very close to Grau Roig ski resort. On the small plain at Encenrera, there are marshes and a stream that form wetlands, frequented by marmots and foxes. This route takes you to Orri d’Encenrera and Orri de l’Estany Forcat, and can be reached from Cubil or Grau Roig by using the 4x4 service. It also joins the Estanys dels Pessons Trail, with its wonderful mountain landscape.

Orri d’Encenrera stands next to the marshes and a small stream, at the foot of Cubil Petit peak. Here are remarkable reconstructions of a large 14th-century hut, with an area for cheesemaking, and a hut dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, built after the medieval hut collapsed. Inside these huts, you can experience the lifestyle of shepherds next to the fire and appreciate their daily tasks. The site also hides a Roman settlement where metals were mined.

 
 

Orri de l’Estany Forcat stands 100m from the lake. It is a good example of traditional shepherds’ buildings, with a hut, a shelter between two rocks and a small milking pen. The lake’s surroundings tempt you to rest and enjoy the Pessons landscape and
discover other shepherds’ huts in the area.
