Take a walking tour to discover the Pyrenees of Catalonia along two main rivers, the River Ter and the River Núria. During the hiking holiday, you shall come across stunning scenery with peaks of 3000m all around you but not only that you shall pass through ancient villages. We have tried to make the trip so that the magnificent landscape can be enjoyed by many, including impressive gorges, high snow-capped peaks (early season), river torrents and white water along with stunning views as far as Roses Bay and Cap de Creus peninsula on Costa Brava.
In the region around Núria, you’ll discover an unparalleled environment where the waters of the river can only run its course through deep narrow gorges that have been cut through this hard rock. In Núria town there’s also a Sanctuary which is a popular place of pilgrimage. This really is a beautiful corner of the Pyrenees, where you will admire both natural and cultural heritage it has to offer. The small villages on your way are worth visiting, with medieval architecture, monasteries and bridges
Camprodon
Walking with short ascents and descents on dirt tracks and paths, some paved sections, along with a well-signposted hiking network. Some days are easy walking but for longer distances.

Arrive at the charming mountain village Camprodon which is situated at the junction of the rivers Ritort and Ter. Camprodon has a lovely historic centre including a 12th-century footbridge. There are lots of tiny little alleys to explore with pretty village squares. You will have a chance to buy some supplies such as delicious sausages and cured cheese from the local shops for picnics.
Today a lovely first walk into the Garrotxa national park, this area has 40 underground volcanoes. You shall be walking through lush pastures and woodlands as you descend through valleys passing renovated and abandoned farmhouses. The village of Molló has a lovely 12th century Romanesque church. The village is at around 1200m above sea level.
A spectacular walk today as you walk over two mountain passes both with impressive panoramic mountain views. You shall see dramatic Pyrenean peaks to the west and to the wooded hills of the Garrotxa to the east. First, there is a long moderate climb to the Fembra Morte Pass at 1.728m where you remain at high altitude as you continue to ascend to the Lliens pass at 1.864m. Here is an ideal spot for a picnic. Now you continue across the northern flank of the Puig de les Agudes range before descending through a wonderful landscape to Setcases.
Two options today, a chance to relax and visiting the village and the surrounding area or to explore the area in depth on a longer hike up the valley. You can walk up one of the mountain passes to the Bastiments peak at 2.883m where you shall see unrivalled mountain views. On clear days you can see the blue waters of the Mediterranean.

Today there is a short transfer to Abella. Today first you hike at a high level above the valley crossing a varied landscape of pastures and forests. Now you start a gradual descent down the Collanda Verda Pass down towards Ribes de Freser.
Today you can either have a free day to enjoy this nice village or you can take the rack train up to Núria. The train travels around 12km and climbs 1000m.
