Itinerary description

Located in Aigüestortes i Llac de Sant Maurici National Park, the hike follows a circular itinerary connecting 9 mountain refugees in the Catalan Pyrenees. Walkers can start at several points along the route and take the direction they prefer.

The route's distance is 55 km, which can take between 4 and 7 days for you to complete. Each day you hike to a mountain hut with basic facilities, including a bed, shower and, sometimes, wifi. One of the things we remember the most was the food. After hiking all day, you're treated to delicious soups, typical meat dishes, pasta, river trout, you name it!

We hiked Carros de Foc July 2019 with some family members and we did it in 5 days and a half, starting and finishing in the hut Ernest Mallafré.
