Discover Xixerella: Hiking Route and Pitch & Putt

Xixerella combines a specific hiking route with a Pitch & Putt course in the village. A section of the Port of Cabús route also leads from here towards Pal. These offerings give you different starting points for planning your trip: a hike with a specified distance and duration, Pitch & Putt as another local activity, and a route linking the place name with Pal.

A hiking route with specific details

The Tomb per Xixerella hiking route starts in the village and is 9.97 kilometres long. The ascent and descent are each listed as 410 metres; the stated duration is 2 hours and 15 minutes. Distance, elevation gain and time frame describe different aspects of the same hike: you can assess the route not only by its kilometres, but also by its elevation profile and estimated duration.

The starting point is in Xixerella itself. If you are looking for a holiday apartment for your stay, you can consider whether a hike with these details fits your travel plans. The stated duration provides a guide to the time needed for the hike. The Port of Cabús route section also leads from Xixerella towards Pal. Before driving along this section, check local conditions.

Pitch & Putt and regional culture

Pitch & Putt El Torrent is a Pitch & Putt course in Xixerella. Together with the hiking route, it offers a second, different starting point for your trip: if you are interested in Pitch & Putt, this activity is directly associated with the village. You can consider the two offerings separately when choosing the focus of your holiday, rather than combining them into a single activity.

In the wider destination of La Massana, Pitch & Putt El Torrent is also a prominent part of the tourist offering: the tourism information describes La Massana as one of Andorra’s most important Pitch & Putt destinations and a significant destination for the sport in the Pyrenees; it cites the course in Xixerella as the reason. This description applies to La Massana and the region, not to Xixerella alone.

History, churches and comics in La Massana

The Farga Rossell in La Massana takes visitors through the entire process of producing and working iron, up to the making of iron bars. The development of the techniques used is also covered. This makes the site a specific point of interest for anyone interested in crafts and manufacturing. Check the current visitor arrangements before your visit.

The churches offer different perspectives on history through their varying construction periods. The Romanesque church of Sant Climent in Pal was built between the 11th and 12th centuries; parts of its original masonry have been preserved. The parish church of Sant Iscle and Santa Victòria de la Massana, by contrast, dates from the 17th century and was built over an older medieval church. Its interior houses five Baroque altarpieces from the 17th and 18th centuries. Thus, La Massana brings together Romanesque masonry, an older church site and later Baroque works.

La Massana Còmic offers another cultural theme, with exhibitions by internationally renowned artists, talks with authors, film screenings and comic workshops. The museum opens only when exhibitions are being held; check current access arrangements before visiting. The Itinerari de la pedra seca passes through wooded and built-up areas, adding a route with varied surroundings to the cultural offerings.

Choosing the right focus for your stay

When looking for a holiday apartment in Xixerella, you can first consider whether the hiking route or Pitch & Putt should be the main focus of your stay. If you would also like to include churches, ironworking, comics or the Itinerari de la pedra seca, La Massana offers further topics to consider when planning your trip. The information about the hiking route, course and regional cultural sites can help you organise your interests and decide on the focus you want for your holiday.
