Itinerary
Día 1
Pyrenees from Barcelona, Hiking, Vall de Núria
- Start: 8:00 am.
- After 2 hours of traveling by van we will arrive at the beautiful town of Queralbs, the gateway to the Valle de Núria, only accessible via the rack railway or on foot. From here this hiking route in the Pyrenees will start from Barcelona.
- To access the Nuria Valley, which is located about 2,000 meters (6,600 feet), we will follow the “Camino Viejo de Queralbs a Núria”, one of the most iconic hiking trails in Catalan hiking. The Old Way from Queralbs to Núria, used for centuries by pilgrims as an access route to the Sanctuary is a path full of history and legends.
- The route passes through unique places such as the “Rocas del Dui” or the spectacular waterfall “la Cola de Caballo” and gives us spectacular views of the valley. During the walk, we will learn about the distinctive flora and fauna of the Pyrenees and, if we are lucky, we will be able to see some wild animals such as griffon vultures, chamois, golden eagles or marmots in their natural habitat.
- The Núria sanctuary is located in the heart of the Pyrenees, surrounded by many peaks of 2,800 meters of altitude that form a mountain circus known as “la Olla de Núria”. Here we will discover some of the legends of Núria and their religious and cultural significance. We will also have time to eat and discover the area of the Sanctuary and its surroundings.
- To get off the Vall de Núria, which is located about 2,000 meters above sea level, we will take the Creuello train, a route of great beauty that runs 12.5 km and overcomes a drop of more than 1,000 meters to Queralbs.
- End: 5:30 pm.
