- Distance: 12km
- Duration: Four to five hours
- Start/end: Vallter 2000
- Difficulty: Moderate
As soon as the snow melts away (usually in the late spring) hikers replace the skiers in Vallter 2000 ski resorts. To enjoy some of the best views I recommend the trail that climbs first to Pic de la Dona (2,702m) and then traverses the ridge on the Spanish-French border before climbing Puig de Bastiments (2,881m).
The trail then drops down to Coll de la Marrana from where you can even opt to climb the nearby Gra de Fajol (2,714m). But make sure that you save some energy to seek out the source of the River Ter before you descend back to the resort’s buildings.
