Stretching from the volcanic landscapes of the Garrotxa and the
forested gorges of the Alta Garrotxa to the rocky Pyrenean peaks of
the Ripollès and Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, the Girona Pyrenees
region of Catalunya offers a remarkably varied and largely
undiscovered walking destination. With routes ranging from idyllic
valley walks through wine country to demanding summits above 2500m,
this corner of northern Spain rewards walkers of every level. This
comprehensive guidebook by authors Nike Werstroh and Jacint Mig
describes 35 graded day walks ranging from 5 to 19km and taking
between 2 and 8 hours, covering three distinct areas of the Girona
Pyrenees. It combines clear route descriptions with practical planning
information to help you explore this varied and rewarding region of
Catalunya with confidence. The 35 walks are organised across three
areas, Garrotxa, Ripollès, and Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, covering
everything from easy valley strolls and the Muga Gorge to high-level
routes on Pedraforca, Puigmal, and the peaks above Camprodon, with
routes suitable for all abilities Every walk is illustrated with
1:25,000 or 1:50,000 maps and supported by detailed information on
accommodation, public transport, and parking, so you can navigate the
region and arrive at each trailhead fully prepared GPX files are
available to download for all 35 routes, enabling easy digital
navigation on GPS devices or smartphone apps through the gorges,
forests, and high ridges of the Girona Pyrenees Background sections
cover the geography, geology, plants, flowers, and wildlife of the
region alongside a glossary of local terms, giving you valuable
context for the landscapes and habitats you encounter on the trail
Most routes can be walked between April and November, with the lower
Garrotxa walks accessible in winter too, making this a genuinely
flexible destination across much of the year Whether you base yourself
in Olot, Camprodon, or Saldes, this guidebook has the routes, maps,
and local knowledge to help you get the best from the Garrotxa,
Ripollès, and Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. It's the perfect companion
for your next walking holiday.
