팔라스 소비라 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Fantastic panoramic views all around; this summit is well worth it, as you can see from my two panorama photos. Ascent from Estany de Sotllo via the pass. I took the partly exposed scrambling/climbing ridge via Pic Verdaguer. Beautiful scrambling; you just have to be careful to stay on the right track. Descent around the summit, then back to the same pass and down past the same beautiful mountain lakes, and via the Valferrera Hut into the valley. The length and roughness of this route surprised me. Luckily, I didn't start my ascent from the hut. The section along the mountainside, especially above the hut, was quite challenging. There are frequent short climbs over rocky outcrops, and at one point, I found myself on a side path below the main trail, which then ended in the undergrowth. After a short climb, everything was fine again.

You can go there on foot via the GR or by bike via the track. A bike/walking hike?

Magnificent landscapes on the Caros de Foc

A nice mountain hut in the forest, the starting point for the Pica d'Estats summit. The trail up is well marked, but quite strenuous, as it follows the mountainside for a long time, gaining little elevation, but crossing those rugged rocky peaks.

The location of this refuge makes it unique. It can be accessed from Prat de Pierro (all via track) or from Espot (this option is shorter but steeper).
