• The Engolasters lake: you can take a walk on the tracks around the lake and if you feel like hiking, you can take the Les Pardines track that leads to Encamp, forming an interesting mountain bicycle circuit.

• The Andorra Model Museum has made scale models grouping together, a lot of typical buildings of the Principality: the most representative Romanesque churches, Casa de la Vall, as well as some altarpieces. (Av. del Pessebre, no. 16).
• The existence of a hot spa, considered to be one of the hottest in Europe, gave rise to the construction of the first spa hotels, situated in the town of Escaldes: Hotel Valira, Pla, Carlemany and Muntanya. These buildings are representativa of a mixture of French and Catalan influences from the Pyrenean bordering areas. However, the use of local stone, an essential element for the walls of this new architecture, made them blend into the natural environment. Stylistically, they did not belong to any specific artistic movement, but rather they were included in a typography of mountain buildings which retained certain irnportant similarities.
