The route

A hut-to-hut circuit along medieval paths through the Cadí-Moixeró

A five-day circular trek through the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, following the medieval paths that once linked the old counties of Berguedà, Cerdanya, and Ripollès. Across 105 km and 6,270 metres of accumulated climb, the route threads mountain passes, protected forests, and a string of Romanesque hermitages and sanctuaries — over twenty of them along the way — that give the route its name. From the village of La Pobla de Lillet it rises to the high ground beneath the Serra del Cadí, skirts alpine meadows and shaded beechwoods, and returns through the forests of the Berguedà.

It's a classic Pyrenean hut-to-hut circuit, walked in the old tradition: a day's walk between refuges, a bed and a shared dinner at each. The trails are well-marked and non-technical — no scrambling, no exposure to speak of — but the days are long and the climbs sustained, so a reasonable level of fitness goes a long way. The reward is five days in one of the quieter corners of the Catalan Pyrenees, where geology, history, and silence settle into something singular.

Leave La Pobla de Lillet and climb into the woods of the Berguedà, where in autumn the red deer rut echoes through the trees and the beech turns to copper.

Across the Cadí-Moixeró

Walk one of Catalonia's most isolated natural parks, a vast limestone range cloaked in oak, black pine, and beech, with the silhouette of Pedraforca never far off.
