This three.day walk will allow you to discover a very specific area of Osona – the Collsacabra or Cabrerès. The name comes from the court of the castle Cabrera (“cabra” is the Catalan word for goat). It is a place of remarkable beauty, where visitors can enjoy a unique landscape and a special geological morphology.
The route begins with a meeting between the organizers and the participants in Vic, The capital of Osona, early in the morning. Later, we move by car to the dam of Sau, where we will start the walk.
On this first day we will discover the spectacular red and white cliffs of el Collsacabra, where we have to climb to get to the village of Taveretet through the spectacular natural viewpoint called “Morro de l’Abella” – Bee’s nose -. We overnight in the village of Taveretet in a rural guest house.
On the second day we visit the Collsacabra area, where the local climate encourages the growth of deciduous forests, similar to those from central Europe. The geology is an important part of the landscape, with its strange formations and caves. We overnight in the village of Tavertet in a rural guest house.
On the third day we visit two important places in el Collsacabra; el Pla d’Aiats and Cabrera’s Sanctuary, situated dramatically atop a cliff. We will learn the traditional agriculture of the mountain, which allowed the people to supply seed potatoes to the Vic region. Later, we will move to the city of Vic by car, where the trail ends.
Afternoons are free and each participant can pursue the activities they wish. There will be the possibility of additional organized activities that are available on this website (visit the ACTIVITIES section). To carry out some of the activites a minimum number of participants are needed, and in some cases dependent territory, so not all can be made each day of the trek.
The difficulty of the route in some sections, makes it unsuitable for people with mobility or cardiovascular problems.
