6-day Carros de Foc hut-to-hut hike in the Pyrenees (Catalonia, Spain)

We’ll meet in front of the Vielha tourist office and drive to the Tredos baths- to hike to our first stop which is Colomers Cirque. This is an impressive amphitheatre shaped valley. We’ll keep ascending to 2568 meters before then descending to the Ventosa Clavell refuge. All up we’ll spend around 5 hours walking.

Day two sees us tackle the Col de Contraix, an impressively high mountain pass. Once we cross it we’ll descend to the Col de Contraix Lake before continuing on to our home for the night, the Estany Llong hut. If you want you can even sneak in a climb to the summit of the Contraix Peak which sits at 2957 meters. We’ll hike for 7 hours in total this day.

Day three will be devoted to exploring the lakes and needles of Dellui, with an optional climb to the top of Dellui Peak. It’s worth it for the awesome views of the Aneto and Posets. We’ll finish up the day with a descent to the Colomina refuge passing by awesome lakes as we go. We’ll hike for around 6 hours on this day.

Day four takes us to the Saburo Pass at 2668 meters. We’ll pass many stunning lakes as we go.  After that we’ll head to the JM Blanc hut where we’ll sleep. Day 5 involves 5 hours of hiking in total.

We’ll start the day climbing to the Monestero high mountain pass. After that we’ll descend into beautiful wilderness and finish looking out at the Sant Maurici Lake, the largest lake in the national park. We’ll then ascend to the Amitges hut where we’ll get awesome views of the surrounding scenery. This day will involve 6 hours of hiking.

On our final day we’ll climb to the Port of Ratera and follow the lakes back to the Tredos baths. There, we’ll get in the car and head home. We’ll spend six hours hiking on this last day.
