The Escaldes-Engordany parish council has begun interior refurbishment on a second cabin at the Engolasters colony house this week, boosting the site's capacity to 36 beds for summer educational camps.
The work will add 20 new spaces to the 16 beds already operating in the first cabin since last summer. Budgeted at €73,222, the project should wrap up in about two months, ensuring the facility is fully ready for peak season.
Meanwhile, the council plans to issue a tender soon for the third phase, focused on constructing a central building for key services. This will include child-appropriate bathrooms and showers, plus a kitchen-dining area. Some preliminary preparations for these features are already in progress within one of the cabins.
The overall plan also covers vital infrastructure upgrades, such as a drinking water tank, septic tanks, and water supply and drainage lines linking all sections. These improvements position Engolasters as a key hub for school outings, group activities, and nature-based learning, with facilities suited to current demands and future expansion.
