You will have the option to choose between two circular walks or a longer, more challenging linear walk.

We recommend taking the scenic rack railway (ticket excluded) for a dramatic journey up to the sanctuary of Nuria, one of Catalonia's holiest sites, situated high in the mountains at 1,960 metres above sea level. From the monastery, you can embark on a 3.5km circular walk to the west of Nuria that takes you through steep, forested terrain and offers awe-inspiring views before descending via a rocky trail to the valley's centrepiece lake.

Alternatively, choose the 3.5km circular walk to the east of Nuria, which takes you through pine forests, ski slopes, and grassy pastures. This route features an artistic Stations of the Cross section and offers the possibility of spotting Pyrenean chamois, mouflon, and even a marmot or two.

For a longer, more dramatic hike, opt for the 7.5km linear walk from Nuria to Queralbs, following the cascading river as it winds through pine and rhododendron forests. Listen to the sound of rushing water and the piercing whistle of the mountain train as you make your way down the valley. Once in Queralbs, catch a return train back to Ribes.

Night 2 at Serrat del Vent-adults only: https://www.serratdelvent.com/en

You'll have the option to choose from two different walking routes from Ribes de Freser to Llanars, both covering a distance of 21km.

The first route will take approximately 7.5 hours to complete, and it features undulating paths and tracks that lead to the breathtaking panoramic views of the Collada Verda Pass at 1,500 metres. You'll then make a gradual descent through a wild valley and the astonishing village of La Roca, which appears to be clinging to the rock, before finally arriving at the Hotel Grèvol in Llanars. We offer a shorter option covering 15.5km that takes approximately 6 hours, and to shorten the day further, there's an optional transfer available at the start of the walk. We would recommend this option.

For those who prefer a lower-level route, we also provide detailed notes for an alternative walking route, which can be shortened by taking a transfer (Included) to the starting point. This route covers the same distance of 21km and takes around 7.5 hours to complete, or there's a shorter option available that takes approximately 6 hours.

Night 3 will be at Hotel Grèvol Spa https://www.hotelgrevol.com/ . 

Consider taking a circular walk through Ermita de Sant Antoni, which covers 12.5km in 4.5 hours. If you're looking for something less strenuous, the charming market town of Camprodon is a mere two-kilometer walk away. This historic town boasts a 12th-century bridge, Romanesque monastery, old center, and an interesting Art Nouveau quarter. If you're up for a longer walk, we recommend the uphill route through the forest from Camprodon to the hill-top Ermita de Sant Antoni, which has an incredible view at the top.

Night 4 will be at Hotel Grèvol Spa https://www.hotelgrevol.com/ . 

The journey from Llanars to Setcases covers 11.5km and takes around 4.5 hours to complete. This relatively brief yet highly pleasurable route takes you on a high-altitude path above the valley. You'll traverse a combination of grassy meadows and wooded areas and encounter the remarkable village of La Roca, which appears to be perched on the very rock it was constructed upon, before finally arriving at Setcases.

Night 5 will be at Hotel La Coma https://www.hotellacoma.com/en/

You will start the day with a taxi ride to Vallter 2000 ski resort, located around 11 km away. Once there, you have three options to choose from:

• Option 1 (for experienced mountaineers): Climb to the summit of Bastiments Peak (2,881m), where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking mountain vistas, including views of the Mediterranean on clear days. This challenging route is 15 km long, with a total ascent of 910m and descent of 1,580m.
• Option 2: A scenic 7 km downhill walk through the valley of the River Ter to the picturesque village of Setcases, perfect for those who prefer a less strenuous hike.
• Option 3: Relax and explore Setcases, taking in its charming streets, local culture, and tranquil surroundings.

During the peak summer months, you’ll also have the option to take a chairlift further up the mountains to discover the mouth of the famous River Ter, where you can either continue up to Bastiments Peak or follow the river downstream to Setcases, adding another dimension to your adventure.

Night 6 will be at Hotel La Coma https://www.hotellacoma.com/en/ 

The final walk from Setcases to Molló spans 12.5km and takes approximately 5 hours to complete. This challenging yet rewarding route begins with a steep ascent up the northern flank of Puig de les Agudes, leading to the remarkable Lliens Pass at 1,800 meters above sea level. On a clear day, the view from the pass is unmatched, offering a stunning panorama of the Pyrenean peaks on one side and the verdant hills of Garrotxa on the other. Continuing along the highland, you will arrive at Fembra Morte Pass, another breathtaking viewpoint perfect for a picnic. From there, the path descends through majestic landscapes, culminating in the town of Molló near the French border, where you will be accommodated at the Hotel Calitxó. This final hike is a fitting climax to your unforgettable holiday in the Pyrenees.

Night 7 will be at Calitxó Hotel https://hotelcalitxo.com/en/calitxo-hotel/

We will transfer you back to Barcelona or Girona, picking you up from your hotel and taking you to your preferred destination.
