A World-Record Suspension Bridge
The Canillo Tibetan Bridge is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, stretching an impressive 603 meters in length and rising up to 158 meters above the Valira d'Orient River valley . Located at an altitude of 1,875 meters in the parish of Canillo, the bridge is one meter wide, allowing visitors to walk in both directions along the same route . It was inaugurated in 2022 and quickly became one of Andorra's most spectacular attractions, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Pyrenean landscape and the surrounding forests and mountains.
The Thrilling Crossing Experience
Crossing the bridge is an exhilarating experience not recommended for those with a fear of heights. The structure features a secure design with railings and a solid walking surface, allowing visitors to focus on the stunning scenery below . For adrenaline seekers, the bridge also offers a unique bungee jumping experience—a 125-meter free fall from a platform 150 meters high, though this activity is only available during the warmer months and not in winter . The bridge season typically runs from June through November, with operating hours varying by day (Mondays through Thursdays from 10 AM to 4 PM, and weekends until 6 PM).
Access and Practical Information
Access to the bridge is restricted to official shuttle buses only, as private vehicles cannot drive directly to the structure . Visitors must either park in Canillo village or at the Roc del Quer viewpoint parking lot, then board the complimentary shuttle bus included with ticket purchase . From the bus drop-off point, a 10-15 minute uphill walk (approximately 900 meters to 1 kilometer) is required to reach the bridge itself, so comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended . Tickets must be purchased in advance online or at the Canillo Tourist Office, as they are not sold at the bridge entrance . A combined ticket package is available that includes both the Tibetan Bridge and the nearby Roc del Quer viewpoint, offering excellent value for visitors wanting to experience both attractions
