The distance and incline make this route a bit challenging, although it doesn´t have any technical parts. You will “jump” from valley to valley through cols. There is a chance to divide this route in two days´ journey, staying overnight in Pas de la Casa or Grau Roig.
Starting in front of the Tourist office in Encamp, follow the GR (Long-distance trail) and continue by a path that will bring you to Engolasters. After a demanding first stretch, you will get to a lake and from there it will get easier. Once you have reached Coll Jovell, continue by the GR until you get to Vall de Madriu (Biosphere Reserve). Go across this valley, moving along the Madriu river and passing by some shelters, til you find the Refugio de l’Illa.
Over this refuge you will see the Coll de Valcivera, which should be followed to start descending through Cerdanya and towards Cabana dels Esparvers. Continue by the GR to progressively ascend through Vall d’Engaït, heading to Portella Blanca d’Andorra. Continue climbing until you reach Coll dels Isards, the highest point of this route.
From that col you could sight Pas de la Casa, the next stop of this trail. To get there, you should first descend by path and then by ski track. After passing the town, go up on a steep climb towards Coll Blanc (which stands out for its peculiar buildings) and from here, there is a short descent that leads to Grau Roig.
To continue descending, keep moving by a forest track that will take you by Estany de la Cubil and will finally lead you to the Superior Station of Funicamp (Les Solanelles), at 2500 meters high. From here on, practically all the rest of the trail will be descending, first by forest track and then by path. Once you have reached the Intermediate Station of Funicamp, continue by path and going across fields, always heading towards the Funicamp Tower. Once there, simply follow the evacuation path towards Encamp, passing by the Funicamp Station before reaching the town.
