The surroundings of Balcó de Dorres make you feel relaxed and give you piece and quiet because you can feel integrated in the middle of nature and you can enjoy the lovely views from our balcony or garden.

If you walk only 500 metres, you will find the thermal baths of Dorres Bains de Dorres, originated during the Roman period. There you can relax with a 37-41ºC bath and at the same time take advantage of all the healing effects of its sulphurous water.

Walking, but now following the road, you will find a rural town called Dorres about 400 metres away. It is worth going for a walk along its stony paths, and also visiting Sant Joan Evangelista church and the granite museum.

From Dorres you can enjoy a pleasant path that you can cover on foot or by mountain bike up to the top and visit the Romanesque church called Santa Maria del Bell-lloc. It is situated at a height of 1685 metres, and provides excellent panoramic views of most of La Cerdanya region.

1.5 kilometres away, and follow the road to Ur, you will get to a village called Angoustrine, where it is worthy visiting the Romanesque church of Sant Andreu, with the only Roman altar dedicated to Jupiter. After that, we recommend an excursion to Bulloses lakes, driving via Sant Martí d’Envalls.
