The road to Pic de Carroi is not for the faint of heart

Pic de Carroi is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.265m (7,431ft) above the sea level, located on the La Massana and Andorra la Vella boundary, in Andorra. The road to the summit is brutal. The average gradient is 16.15%.

It’s one of the highest mountain roads of the country. The road to the summit, located within the Pyrenees mountain range, is totally unpaved. It’s called Camí Pic de Carroi. The road is usually impassable from October to June. Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point.

4x4 vehicle required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail very steep with 16 hairpin turns. Wet conditions may make for tough driving along the muddy road. The summit hosts many communication towers. The road is 5.3km long. Over this distance, the elevation gain is 856 meters. The average gradient is 16.15% with some sections up to 20%.
