===Landslides===
Landslides are a frequent occurrence in Andorra; they have tended to follow periods of heavy rainfall.<ref name="capons1">R Capons-Llorens (2005), [http://www.cenma.ad/webcenma/HORITZO/Horitz%C3%B3%208/H8article5.pdf El relleu postglacial al Principat d'Andorra – Les dinàmiques de vessants i fluviotorrencials]{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}.

A landslide during the evening rush hour on 25 January 2008 deposited {{convert|4000|m3|cuyd|0|abbr=on}} of loosely bound soil and rocks from the mountain slope above onto the main road CG-3 (Avinguda del Través de la Massana) between La Massana and Ordino, blocking it for three days, as well as completely covering an open-air car park and several parked cars. The only damage was to property, and nobody was injured, but the residents of a block of flats adjacent to the landslide were evacuated as the building was deemed unsafe and it remains vacant. The cause of the landslide was determined to be settlement of the earth due to inadequate ground reinforcement in the construction and excavation of the car park 30&nbsp;years previously.<ref name="da1">[http://www.diariandorra.ad/media/upload//pdf/obrir.php?file=da26a01_editora_17_505.pdf  L'esllavissada prové del desgast natural i l'excavació al pàrquing]{{Dead link|date=August 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, ''Diari d'Andorra'', No.5735, pp.1,3–4, 27 January 2008</ref><ref name="3cat24a">[http://www.3cat24.cat/noticia/247731/societat/Una-esllavissada-talla-la-carretera-de-la-Massana-a-Ordino-i-obliga-a-desallotjar-els-veins Una esllavissada talla la carretera de la Massana a Ordino i obliga a desallotjar els veïns], ''3cat24'', 26 January 2008, {{in lang|ca}}</ref>

On 7 July 2009, a rock landslide fell {{convert|200|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} onto the CG-3 main road between La Massana and Andorra La Vella, blocking the road near the entrance to the [[Pont Pla Tunnel]] for three hours.
