The Forat de Bèrnia is an impressive place in the Sierra de Bèrnia, located in the Valencian Community, Spain. This natural tunnel, about 15 to 20 meters long, crosses the mountain range from north to south. At its widest entrance, it offers panoramic views of Altea, the Serra Gelada and the Mediterranean. The Forat de Bèrnia is presented as a spacious natural shelter that becomes a magnificent viewpoint of the Costa Blanca. The route begins on the north side of the mountain range, which is greener and wetter. As you cross the Forat, you move to the south face, with spectacular views of Altea, Benidorm and Puig Campana. In addition to the Forat, you can also explore the remains of the Bèrnia Fort and enjoy the varied landscapes that the mountains offer.
If you decide to do this route, I recommend avoiding weekends and holidays to avoid the crowds and preserve the natural environment. I hope you enjoy this natural wonder! 😊🏞️
