Coma Pedrosa, Mountain summit in La Massana, Andorra.
Coma Pedrosa is the highest mountain in Andorra, reaching 2,942 meters above sea level. Its slopes are covered with pine forests and several mountain lakes dot its flanks, including Estany Negre.
Throughout Andorran history, this mountain has served as a natural border marker and defensive barrier protecting the region. Its position shaped how settlements developed and communities organized their territory.
The name comes from Catalan and reflects the language spoken across Andorra, where Catalan is the official language of the region. Locals view this peak as an important symbol of their mountain territory.
The hike from Arinsal takes about five to seven hours and requires sturdy footwear and plenty of water. Weather can change quickly at this altitude, so bring weatherproof clothing and start early in the day.
The summit contains multiple glacier-carved lakes that sit along different hiking routes across the mountain. These ice-formed waters are most visible during warmer months and offer places to rest during the climb.
