We'll enjoy a breakfast with an incredible spread of foods and coffees/teas from the region before a transfer to the start of our trail. We’ll begin a riverside climb up the Vall de Ruda with a running path before starting a climb into a more granite-laden region of the Pyrenees as we enter the Colomers region by way of the scenic Coll de Sendrosa. We’ll have the option of staying in this beautiful area more by taking a coffee or cake at a mountain hut before starting our descent. We’ll then descend and take transfer to our hotel to cut out the portion of the route that becomes slower and more technical.

After fueling up at our hotel, we'll start a longer and even more spectacular day on the trails. Today we’ll take a transfer to the Vall de Bonabé for the start of our route, which is surrounded by diverse flora and fauna found in the Parc Natural de l'Alt Pirineu. The theme of the day is all about moderate climbs and rolling hills, and our route delivers all this and more as we explore The Sanctuary of Montgarri (dating back to 1117-1119) running alongside the Noguera Pallaresa river on the southern side of the mountains known as ‘Es Bandolèrs’. We’ll finish our scenic run with a transfer to our comfortable hotel for the evening.

After breakfast at the hotel, we'll enjoy a change of pace and scenery on today's route. We'll continue our descent from the mountains to tour some of the most beautiful villages in Spain (one even voted as so)! We'll give our legs a break from technical mountain climbs and trails to enjoy a mainly downhill day with a moderate grade downhill through rolling green valleys. After a stop in Bagergue for a snack and tour, we'll continue to enjoy a trail alongside the Arriu Garona river running all the way to our destination of Vielha. We'll enjoy another night in a comfortable hotel in the charming town of Vielha with spa access included.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at our hotel, we'll leave the village at an altitude of 3,000 feet behind to head back up into the mountains. Today will be one of our bigger climbing days as we continue our point-to-point run from the town up into the mountains. Part of our course today overlaps with the famous vertical kilometer from Vielha as well as UTMB's Val d'Aran race. After making our way up steep mountain climbs punctuated with runnable singletrack, we'll enjoy ridge running for several miles of views before dropping into the valley of our mountain hut. You have the option of extending on a few minutes further down the trail to enjoy an idyllic spot for a dip or snack alongside cascades of blue pools of water. 

We'll be reunited with our larger luggage at the refugi, so all we need to carry today is our normal running pack. With a terrace that invites you to sip a a coffee or beer and enjoy the view of craggy mountains covered by green hillsides, you'll wish you could stay for just more than one evening.

We'll enjoy a hearty breakfast before our longest day of the trip. On this gran finale run, we'll put together all the skills we've learned during the week, from technical trail running to power hiking mountain passes to flowy ridge running. We start with a big climb up to a pass before some of the most spectacular ridge running in the area. We'll have views from the Spanish to French pyrenees as we cross over temporarily into France with wildflowers and green grassy hillsides. After rolling terrain we'll make our final descent of the trip down into the town of Bossost for our final evening to enjoy and celebrate our point-to-point adventure in the Pyrenees!
