ASB November Hike
to
Out of town Barcelona
Join the American Society Sunday for a beautiful autumn hike!
Rain or shine they'll be there at 7:25 a.m. on Sunday in front of Cafe Zurich at Plaça Catalunya and from there they’ll catch the R3 train to Sant Quirze de Besora. The hike goes through the village and follows along several ridges with panoramic views of the valleys below. This area is beautiful in the fall to see the changing leaves...
Hike Description
Leaving Sant Quirze de Besora, the trail picks up the GR3. It's a rocky footpath that winds its way up behind the Bac del Serrat and continues up to the Serra de la Cogullera. It follows along the rocky ridge, skirts the Collet de Bosquetell and climbs up the Carena de Bosquetell and Coll d'Hi-era-de-massa, finally reaching the highest point of the hike at the Santuari de Bellmunt. Perfectly located in the middle of the hike, there will be a lunch break at the Santuari surrounded by beautiful views.
The hardest part over, the second half of the hike follows along the ridge of the Serra Grenyada and then descends steeply beginning at the Collet de la Balma d'en Micó, with a 250-meter descent over two kilometers. Continuing along the Serrat Alt, the trail rises and falls along the ridge, passing by the Castell de Torelló before a final, gradual descent into Torelló.
This is a moderately difficult hike that is not technically difficult, but some steep areas are challenging, so be sure to read the full hike description and download the trail from Wikiloc so you can follow the trail on your phone or GPS device.
