The departure point is Camprodon. You will cover the majority of the Valley of Camprodon before heading towards the neighbouring Valley of Ribes, crossing lower Ripollès, and finishing back where you started. There is fantastic scenery to be seen along the way: the highest mountain peaks (Puigmal, Gra de Fajol, Pedraforca, Bastiments, Costabona, Canigó, etc.), magnificent forests: oaks, birches, pines and so on.
All along the route we can find a great variety of fauna, both wild and domestic. As we cross farms and meadows we will be accompanied by numerous herds of cattle, sheep and horses; and with a bit of luck we might even see other wild species such as Pyrenean chamois, wild boars, vultures, eagles and foxes, among others. Art lovers will be able to enjoy a vast quantity of Romanesque wonders such as the Bridge and Monastery of Camprodon, the Monastery of Ripoll, the Church and Christ in Majesty of Beget, the Abbey of Sant Joan de les Abadesses, the church of Santa Cecilia of Molló and the Antipendium of Sant Esteve of Llanars, among others.
