Overview

On this day hiking trip from Barcelona, we will bring you to discover Vall de Núria.
To access the Vall de Núria,  we will follow the "Camí Vell" from Queralbs to Núria, one of the most iconic hiking routes in Catalonia. The Camí Vell de Queralbs to Núria, used for centuries by pilgrims as a path to the Sanctuary, is a path full of history and legends.

During the hike, 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 vultures, lizards, king eagles or marmots in their natural habitat.

The Núria sanctuary is, surrounded by peaks of 2800 meters (9200 feet). Here we will discover some of the legends of Núria and its religious and cultural significance. We will also have time for lunch and discover the area around the Sanctuary.
To get down from Vall de Núria, we will take the rack railway "Cremallera de Núria", a beautiful route that runs 12.5 km and descends about 1,000 meters to Queralbs.

This was a really fun and beautiful trip. The drive to Queralbs is really pretty. We got lucky with good weather until we reached the top - it was snowing. I like snow, so it was a good thing. This is a really famous pilgrimage in Catalunya, so if you're into hiking and like the mountains, I'd highly recommend it. The hike itself is all uphill, so I would recommend the La Garrotxa hike instead if you are not in at least decent shape. Shoes with tread are a must so you don't slip. Ramon is awesome - he's very knowledgeable and kind.
