Description
Catalunya, from valley floors to Pyrenean peaks.
The Girona Pyrenees offer more than high mountains. Here you’ll find volcanic landscapes, forests, gorges and cultural landscapes that provide many different hiking options. The book covers three areas and shows how a holiday can alternate between lower-level walks and more extensive mountain days, with local sites and nature forming part of the experience.
Thirty-five graded day hikes across three areas.
The selection is spread across Garrotxa, Ripollès and Cadí-Moixeró Nature Park. The hikes range from shorter routes to longer outings with higher summit goals. The gradings make it easier to choose based on both experience and the day’s form. This gives flexibility when planning several days in the region and seeking varied experiences rather than a single continuous long-distance trail.
Maps and practical details for the hike.
Route descriptions and maps help you follow trails and connections through the landscape. Practical information supports the choice of starting point and the planning of your hiking day. The book is also useful before the trip, when deciding where in the region to stay and which areas best suit the hikes you want to complete.
Choose elevation and season together.
Lower valley floors and high Pyrenean peaks can have very different conditions at the same time of year. Heat, snow and weather must therefore be assessed according to the specific route. The guide is suitable for hikers who want a varied selection and wish to actively use the descriptions and gradings to choose hikes that match their experience, the season and the current conditions.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
