Itinerary description
The Vall d'Incles is a valley of glacial origin and remains an unspoiled landscape except for the presence of a few mountain huts (known as bordes in Catalan) and some small stone bridges. There're only two ways of access the valley. One is following the main road (which in winter is covered in snow), and the other is hiking the Camí de l'Obac d'Incles.
This hike runs through the shady side of the Incles valley, following the course of the Incles river. The beauty of the place is striking. On one side, you'll see the river and the bordes, and on the other side the forest. The flat trail will take you to the deepest part of the valley, where most of the trails that take you to higher altitudes start.
The return to the parking lot can be through the same trail or through the main road. On the way back, pay attention and you'll see the slopes of Grandvalira ski resort. Can you spot the two slopes crossing in an X shape (which inspired the logo of the ski resort)?
If you would like to try snowshoes, this is a good place to do so, although they aren't necessary.
