Leave the heat and hustle of Barcelona and explore the majestic peaks in the Catalan Pyrenees. Drink the refreshing spring water, observe local fauna and flora in its natural habitat. Enjoy a delicious picnic in the heart of high mountains.

What to expect?

Explore the Pyrenees and admire its alpine vegetation and majestic peaks. After our arrival in a picturesque village of Queralbs , we will enjoy an exciting rack railway ride to the Nuria Valley at the altitude of 1954m. The iconic hotel and the shrine that host the Virgin of Nuria will suddenly appear as we enter the green valley on the train.

Our explorations will begin with a refreshing stop at the local sacred spring Font de Sant Gil. We will continue to a delightful viewpoint, from which you will see several gorges of the Nuria river. If we look closely to the crystal clear pools beneath our feet, we will spot the local endemic brown trouts hovering in the stream. We will then continue to a higher section of the valley in order to soak in countless breathtaking sceneries and natural elements such as chirping marmots , gliding bearded vultures or perhaps grazing chamois, a species of goat-antelope native to mountains in Europe.

Surrounded by pure nature and majestic peaks we will find a suitable place for our picnic in the Bosc de la Verge. We will then visit the shrine of the Virgin of Nuria, the patron of fertility. Many young couples undertook a long journey to visit the Virgin of Nuria in order to receive a blessing.
