Torreta de l'Orri

Torreta de l'Orri (2,439 m), also known as Pic de l'Orri, is the highest point of the Orri massif and a prominent mountain in Pallars Sobirà. Situated entirely within the Alt Pirineu Natural Park, this isolated and dominant peak is designated an "essential summit" in the FEEC's "100 peaks" challenge, recognized for its exceptional views.

Its privileged location in the southern part of the region, combined with its altitude, offers one of the finest 360º panoramas in the Pyrenees. From the summit, on clear days, one can observe the grand peaks of the Axial Pyrenees (Pica d'Estats, Comapedrosa), the Cadí range, Montsent de Pallars, and southwards, the Pre-Pyrenees and lowlands, including Montsec and Montserrat. A panoramic viewpoint, installed in December 2018, aids in identifying these distant ranges.

A distinctive, though often criticized, feature of the summit is the presence of two large telecommunication antennas. These structures, despite being a "visual blight" to some, highlight the site's strategic geographical importance for broadcasting television and radio signals to a wide area. The mountain's northern slope also hosts the Port Ainé ski resort, with lifts extending almost to the summit.

Geologically, the area is characterized by sandstones and conglomerates, with distinctive "red earth" (terra roia) in the access valleys. Flora includes extensive forests of black pine (Pinus uncinata), while fauna is notable for the endangered capercaillie, large birds of prey like the lammergeier, and chamois. The rounded summit is highly exposed and typically windy in winter.
