We are just starting to explore Northern Spain and it is quite a revelation. We very much enjoyed this holiday. All the people we met were friendly and helpful and all the hotels were good. There is so much of interest in the history, way of life and culture in Catalonia, and of course the food is great. We had some concerns that the walks might be quite hard going but found them within our capabilities, although we did choose the walk options without the longest descents because of dodgy knees. The countryside is lovely with quite a few wild flowers to see, beautiful views and the bonus of coming across wild horses, marmots and an ibex. The weather was sunny every day but surprised us by being quite cool in the mornings and evenings. Good for walking and no mosquitos but with hindsight we would have taken another jumper. We enjoyed taking the extra time to travel by train and have stopovers in Nimes, Girona and Paris.
Steep climbs were rewarded with gorgeous vistas of peaceful Catalan countrysides. We loved the descent from Nuria, the luxurious hotel Grèvol, and the final 360° mountainous scenery from Setcases to Mollò.
Wonderful views, peaceful walks often wthout seeing another person. Cows were a bit scary!

We have enjoyed many Inntravel trips & this walking holiday in the Catalan Pyrenees was no exception. The diversity of habitats - rocky ravines, forested slopes, upland pastures, flower rich meadows, river valleys, deciduous woods & open glades was wonderful. We were fortunate & blessed with warm, dry weather; the views & colours were stunning & the clouds spectacular in deep blue skies. There were long, tough climbs out of both Llanars & Setcases but well worth it & we saw very few people except in the heart of Nuria which was busy & noisy with outdoor school activities. Otherwise surrounded by the sound of cow bells, families of Marmots, Lammergeier on the walk down from Nuria, Griffon Vultures, Crag Martins & Swifts in & over all the villages & accompanied by the song of Blackcaps, Bonelli’s warblers & Blackbirds as we walked. And a quail calling from the crop fields as we arrived in Molló!
Hotels were welcoming & comfortable, food ample & we particularly enjoyed the (refreshing!) outdoor pools at Hotel La Coma & Calitxó. Mid June but few shops or bars were open & Setcases was almost deserted so need to plan ahead for supplies. Inntravel luggage transfers & early taxi to train station in Ripoll all worked perfectly. Our highlights were the extraordinary expanses of wild flowers: alpenrose, broom, bugloss, orchids, Alpine Pasque flowers, gentians, wild thyme to name but a few. We booked our outward journey on public transport & would highly recommend it. Train to Paris, the lovely sleeper train (though we’ve heard that this is occasionally cancelled) from Paris Austerlitz to Latour de Carol high in the Catalan Pyrenees which connected with the local train to Ribes de Freser where the walking holiday begins.
There were many highlights on this walk. The train journey up to Nuria is spectacular. The walk down from Nuria to Queralbs is marvellous once you stop and lift your eyes from the quite demanding path at your feet. On Day 4 do look out for the quirky sculptures as you climb out of Vilallonga, especially the dragon at the top of the climb. The final day's walking with it wide open alpine views is a good reward for the effort of a longish climb from Setcases.
There were quite a few ticks about when we walked, so do carry a handy tick remover set to extract them cleanly.
We booked this as a last minute holiday. Inntravel pulled it together in no time and it was excellent with fantastic walks and weather at the end of May so 10/10 to Inntravel! Do use a GPS device or app on your phone (the Garmin GPSMap handheld and the MapOut app for a smartphone are great!) We overextended ourselves on the first day doing the Option A circular walk and then Option C descent to Queralbs and had sore legs for the next few days. The rocky surface would have been slippery after rain. Watch out for the time of the last train back to Ribes as it's not clear from the timetable.
We loved the area!! We loved the hotels especially the last 3! Looking forward to another trip next year. Will try to plan a bit further ahead so that we can have all the maps etc well ahead of time. Wonderful vacation.
This is a great hiking holiday, with wonderful hiking routes on 5 of the 6 days. The only disappointing day was the circular hike around Llaners. The best days were Vall de Nuria loop hike and down the canyon, our improvised hike out of Setcases and the hike between Setcases and Mollo. Wish we had one more day in Setcases and one fewer day in Llaners. Would have loved to do more hiking in the mountians around Setcases. That area had the most stunning mountain scenery of the entire hike. Excellent hotels, great meals, excellent hoteliers and staff. Highest quality hotels and meals of the 3 Inntravel hiking holidays we've taken. We used GPX for route finidng and only used route notes for confirmation and areas of interest. GPX worked really well. Lots of wild flowers in last week of May. Be aware that the Option A hiking route in Setcases in late May had icy snow on Coll de la Marrana that was only passable with crampons. We had already been dropped off by the hotel, so improvised and hiked a steep route up to Pic de la Donna and back down to ski area parking lot, making an excellent loop hike. We then got very lucky that a Catalan hiker was willing to give us a lift back to Setcases. Ended up being our favorite hiking day. Bring gloves and a buff for extra warmth in the mornings at higher elevation hikes. The wind can make it quite chilly in the mornings at both Vall de Nuria hike and Coll de la Marrana hike.
Our chosen walk on Day 1 was our group's personal favourite - we did Option A Nuria Circuit followed by Option C Nuria to Queralbs. We started off in brilliant sunshine and had hail storms and heavy rain at points along the way - but a fantastic walk with superb scenery. Meals were of a consistently high standard throughout the trip. Written instructions were good although we relied primarily on the downloaded maps that 2 of our group had - although having the written instructions as back up was useful.
Excellent walking along valleys and hillsides in wonderful mountain scenery. The hotels were all great with comfortable rooms, excellent (and plentiful) food, and friendly and helpful staff. Our highlights were the day hike from Setcases when we added on the peaks of Fra de Fajol and Bastiments for spectacular views; the walk from Llanars to Setcases; the last day to Mollo; and wildlife spotting (marmots at Nuria, as well as izard and a hundred griffon vultures feasting on a dead cow (!) on the walk back down to Setcases).
Lots of highlights, lovely hotels to arrive at after an active day, and great food with lots of variety. Excellent walks which came with superb instructions making the whole experience relaxing.
We enjoyed the whole walk, and would have enjoyed it even more if it hadn't been unusually hot! Our personal highlight was Ribes, both the very friendly and welcoming Els Caçadors, and the day in the Vall de Nuria - both the cog railway up and then the walk down. The railway museum is great too. This was the only day we saw anyone else, otherwise we had the hills and spectacular views to ourselves. Don't miss the Casa de la Mel in Setcases.
