On this unique hike, we’ll pass by charming cattle stables on the way. And what better way to experience an idyllic adventure than the company of goats, sheep, and cows all the way to the top!
We’ll begin our exciting adventure in the morning and head towards the starting point of the route. Starting from the town of Las Xareras, we’ll set on a cattle trail.
You don’t have to be a hiking expert to enjoy this trip. As long as you are used to a bit of walking, you’ll be fine. This is an easy route of 12 km with a gradual ascent of about 850 m.

We’ll take short breaks whenever required to enjoy the captivating scenery. Finally, we’ll continue on the last stretch of the route to reach the top of Ubena. And once you reach, the view is exceptional!
