The route begins early in the morning with a meeting between the organizers and the participants in Vic, the capital of Osona. Later, we will go by car to the village of Tavèrnoles where we will start the walk.
On this frist day we will discover the mountains of Savassona and les Guilleries. Forests and cliffs will accompany us through this land of bandits, with spectacular views from Puig del Far, a 832-metre summit. We will have to cross the river Ter over the dam of Sau to overnight in a rural hotel.
On the second day we will see a spectacular change in the natural landscape as we leave les Guilleries to enter into el Collsacabra. To do this we will have to climb to the red and white dizzying cliffs of Taveretet via the spectacular natural viewpoint called “Morro de l’Abella” – Bee’s nose – next to the stunning waterfall of Tirabous. We overnight in the village of Tavertet in a rural guest house.
On the third day we will discover the heart of Collsacabra, where the weather allows growth of wet forests, similar to those of central Europe. The rock is an important part of the landscape creating strange formations and caves. We overnight in a rural guest house in the middle of el Collsacabra.
On the fourth day we will cross spectacular landscapes in el Collsacabra to reach the montain of Bellmunt, crowned by the sanctuary that Catalan poet Jacint Verdaguer defined as “The chapel suspended in the sky” in his poem, “The emigrant”. The moist air allows the beech tree to occupy this area forming a humid forest of which la Grevolosa is its best example, with some trees listed as heritage trees. We will overnight in a privileged place; the Bellmunt sanctuary.
Finally, on the fifth day we will descend from Bellmunt to the village of Torelló. The landscape becomes more Mediterranean. In Torelló we will take the train to reach Vic. If our arrival coincides with a Saturday or a Tuesday, we will have the opportunity to visit the lively market of Vic.
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.
