Additional Information

Explore the Pyrenees and admire its alpine vegetation and majestic peaks. After our arrival in Queralbs, we will set off to start our journey along the Camí Vell de Nuria. It is the original path that every first Catalan ski and snow enthusiast used to take to reach the beautiful Nuria Valley (1954 m). This hike is challenging and designed for participants with previous experience of hiking in the high mountains. A good physical level is required as we will climb 800 m of positive elevation gain over a 10 km distance. The iconic hotel and the shrine that hosts the Virgin of Nuria will suddenly appear as we finally enter the green valley. Our explorations will continue with a refreshing stop at the local sacred spring Font de Sant Gil. After visiting the Nuria Shrine we will hop on the rack railway train that will take us back to Queralbs. Due to the high mountain environment, all participants are required to wear hiking boots and come prepared for any sudden change of weather.

NOT TO BE MISSED - There are no words to describe this experience. This tour is almost a religious experience. The beauty of nature combined with a small level of difficulty, all ending at the remote and serene hotel Nuria. Our tour guide, Stepan, was hands down the best guide we could have had....he was kind, patient, caring and so incredibly knowledgeable of nature, the country and the history. He was a great conversationalist and he really helped us be at ease along the journey. We had very little comprehension of what we signed up for, however it was truly one of the greatest experiences of our lives. We can not speak more highly of Stepan and this tour. This is NOT TO BE MISSED.

Love Love Love - Stephen is an awesome guide this hike was so much fun and his knowledge of the area is wonderful. My husband and I wanted a little more challenging hike and he keep us safe while still ensuring we got the hike we wanted. Rain was in the forecast but some how he was able to make it snow instead lol it was a beautiful hike. One of the best things we did while visiting Barcelona. If you do this hike definitely ask for him he will make sure your experience is memorable.
