4. From the refuge Pinet to the Vall-Ferrera by the Pica d'Estats 3143 m.
Unevenness: +1100, -1400 m.
Distance: 13,3 kms.
Time: 7.15 h.
Difficulty: *** Without doing the Pica d'Estats peak, 5.45 hours. Even though the route is relatively good marked cause this peak is so coveted, it carries out on high mountain and we will pass a small glacier.
This stage will leads us to the highest peak of Catalonia through an itinerary not much frequented by the catalan hikers, even though is more and more knowed overcoat during the winter season by the mountain skiers.
The landscape is always very craggy and a lot of part of the route carries out on stony ground, but given that we do the ascent by this side, the unevenness of the climb is smaller than from Catalonia and is one of the days more rested of the route.
In the circuit is only "obligatory" the ascent to the highest peak of Pica d'Estats, but in not much time we can do the Montcalm, the Verdaguer tip or the Sotllo, the choice is yours.
From the refuge Pinet we will go up to the Pica d'Estats peak, that is the highest peak of Catalonia.
|
From the Sotllo pass we go down passing next to the lakes and we go to the refuge Vall-Ferrera.
