'''L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre' (, literally L'Hospitalet near the Andorra''; ) is a commune in the Ariège department of southwestern France.
The area has a history of vulnerability to winter avalanches: one such in 1895 killed 12 (nearly 10% of the commune's population at the time), and much destruction was also caused in 1906 and 1929. Avalanches have from time to time blocked the N20, the main road through the commune, the most recent case being in 2008.
