The Roc del Quer viewpoint is a 20-metre-long metal walkway, twelve of which are suspended in the air at a height of 500 metres, located in the parish of Canillo , Andorra . It was inaugurated on 2 July 2016.

The viewing platform is located at kilometer point 6.5 on the Ordino Pass road (CS240). The 20-meter-long platform has eight meters of solid ground and another twelve meters suspended in the air. Part of the pavement is made of transparent glass , which emphasizes the sensation of altitude and suspension. At the end is a sculpture of a thinker sitting on a beam, the work of the artist Miguel Ángel González. From the platform, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Montaup and Valira de Oriente valleys , from Soldeu to Encamp . Canillo invested around 400,000 euros in the construction of this panoramic platform, which was part of a remodeling project that also included the path leading from the road to the viewing platform.
