Give me six days and I will take you to the top of the Catalan Pyrenees! The ultimate hike around some of the highest peaks in this area, which will give you unparalleled vistas of the Catalan Pyreness!

Within the Alt Pirineu Natural Park, you will find gorgeous blue mountain lakes beside lush valleys, high mountain passes between spectacular ridges of some of the range´s highest peaks. It really is a unique landscape with plenty of beauty to marvel at.

Among the numerous lakes dotting the mountainside, you will behold the Certascan, the largest natural lake on the Pyrenees´ southern side. Add to this some of the tallest peaks in the Catalan Pyrenees and you have yourself set up for one magnificent adventure!

The duration of our trip will maximize your experience and satisfy every aspect of the adventure. From local villages and lakes to mountain passes and summits, you will take your time truly appreciating the culture of the Pyrenees.

I am an expert in this park and in this region, so I will happily guide you through anything and everything you could possibly want – or need – to know. I can give you a perfect Pyrenees experience that you will never forget!

**Book this program IMMEDIATELY and spend six days touring the unrivaled country and the most prized peak of the Catalan Pyrenees!**

I can also show you the [beauty and magic of Andorra on a four-day hike](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/4-day-hike-in-the-pyrenees-of-andorra/)! Or we can [dive into the culture and history of the Freedom Trail in the Alt Pirineu Natural Park hike](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/5-day-hike-of-the-freedom-trail-in-the-alt-pirineu-natural-park/)!

We will meet in Barcelona at 9am, and from there spend 4- to 5-hours travelling to Tavascan. We will stop at 2 tiny, isolated villages: Arros de Cardos and Esterri de Cardos.

Arriving in Barcelona

We will walk from Tavascan to the Ferrera Valley, passing by the Barborte Lake. We will cross the Barborte Pass. Total walking time will be of around 8.5 hours (15 km). A 45-minute drive will take us back to our accommodation.

Tavascan-Ferrera Valley

We will visit 8 pristine lakes, including Romedo d’Abaix, Romedo de Dalt, Guiló and Colatx. The scenery is stunning!

We will walk during 8 hours although hiking time can be shortened if necessary. We will stay overnight at the Certascan Mountain Refuge.

Romedo Lakes and Certascan Mountain Refuge

After breakfast, we will head to the most impressive lake in the Catalan Pyrenees. Certascan is the largest in this region, and the surrounding land will expose you to historical shepherd huts – bordes – where cattle and feed were stored in a previous time.

This day is fairly lengthy, climbing 1,240m in elevation over about 7 hours before heading back to Tavascan for the evening.

OPTIONAL: For ambitious hikers, we can head for the summit of Certascan.

Once back in the hotel, we will enjoy some local wine, cheese and sausages.

Certascan Lake

A different hike from the previous days because 50% of the trails have disappeared. We will be walking on wild terrain. We may also be able to spot some chamois in Serra Plana!

Walking time is 8 hours (18 km)

Soliguera Lakes

On the last day, we will visit the most beautiful lake in the park, the Mariola Lake. You will remember this lake forever! The Montarenyo and Port Lakes are also in the schedule for the day and you may even get to swim in the first one. Total walking time is around 4.5 hours.

We then transfer back to Barcelona.
