Arribem a la intersecció del camí del Roc de la Cauba. Vistes de la Massana, l'Aldosa, Escàs i Sispony amb el pic de Carroi a la dreta de la imatge.
Tram que és una mica aeri i que la roca està bastant llisa, si el terreny està mullat, hem de ser prudents pel perill de caiguda, aquí hem de prestar molta atenció, hi ha unes cadenes fixes per poder agafar i tenir més seguretat. Warning ⚠️ Vistes a la parròquia de la Massana Vistes a l'Alt de la Capa. Camí del Cortalet Camí del Cortalet En aquest punt observem una preciosa imatge del poble de la Massana.

General Description

Recorregut: Ruta lineal on anirem per camins comunals marcats amb punt groc, trobarem algun tram tècnic i que està protegit amb cadenes i un cop arribem al cim, les vistes que tindrem són de les més maques que podem observar de tota la Vall de la Massana.

Observacions: Podem deixar el cotxe a l'aparcament comunal del Comú de la Massana.
En alguns trams de la ruta passarem per trams de carretera.
Hi ha zones de la ruta que la roca és llisa, hem de prestar atenció a no relliscar, i també passarem un tram cap al final de la pujada, on hi ha instal·lades unes cadenes per ajudar-nos a superar aquella zona complicada.
Només trobem una font d'aigua a l'inici del recorregut, a la plaça de les Fontetes.

Ascens: Sortirem de la plaça de les Fontetes al poble de la Massana, pujarem per la carretera del Pui i després agafarem el camí de la Font Roja que ens portarà fins a la carretera de Comes de Banyàs, i posteriorment el camí de la Cauba. Aquest següent tram és un camí bastant tècnic i que en algun tram és força vertical, per superar aquest tram ens podem agafar de les cadenes que hi ha, un cop superat el camí ja és molt més suau i en l'últim encreuament girarem a l'esquerra per arribar fins al mateix cim.

Descens: Seguirem el mateix recorregut que hem fet per pujar, menys quan arribem a la carretera de Comes de Banyàs que anirem pel carrer Coma del Colat.

Safety tips

Enjoy the mountain safely

Mountain tours can be dangerous, which is why it is your responsibility to take all the necessary measures to safeguard your safety and integrity.

1. Preparation of the itinerary

Check the weather forecast before your departure

Take into account your physical condition and your experience in the environment

Consult the avalanche danger bulletin in winter times

Plan a suitable route knowing shelter points

2. Essential material

Bring the appropriate material for the activity and weather conditions

The rucksack cannot lack drink and food adapted to the departure

Don't forget to check beforehand that the DVA, Shovel and Probe are working

3. Mountain rescue

In the event of an accident or rescue in the mountains, call the emergency number.

What is ATES mapping?

The Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES by its acronym in English) is a tool that allows you to evaluate, describe and communicate how prone the terrain is to being affected by avalanches, without taking into account variable snow-meteorological factors.

The ATES classification was developed in 2004 by Parks Canada following an accident in which seven teenagers died, probably due to a bad choice of route. Since then, this scale has been applied to several mountain ranges in Canada and New Zealand.

In the Pyrenees, this project has been developed in the Lauegi Center of Aran, in Tavascan, in some sectors of the Aragonese Pyrenees and in Andorra.

To carry out this classification, the technicians take into account different variables such as the slope, the density of the vegetation, the traps in the terrain or the frequency and size of expected avalanches, among others.

The final product is an invariant map in which the alluvial terrain is divided into three classes.

What are the types of terrain?
Simple

Exposure to steep slopes and forest terrain. Some forest clearings may involve areas of infrequent avalanche arrivals. Many options to reduce or eliminate exposure

demanding

Exposure to well-defined avalanche path zones, exit zones or traps. There are options to reduce or eliminate exposure by careful route finding

Complex

Exposure to multiple and overlapping avalanche path zones or to large areas of open and sloping terrain. Multiple avalanche start zones with traps below. Minimal options to reduce exposure
