Guided routes, Hiking
The route is a backbone with many optins, a fact that enriches and brings great diversity to the route. Its 15 stages are the main itinerary and, from there, each one can decide and move freely at the moment of doing the trekking depending on the days available, their physical condition, the weather, etc.
We also divided the stages into three different sections: Eastern Ramat, Northern Ramat and Western Ramat.
Eastern Ramat Stage 1: La Figuereta - Baro |
|
Northern Ramat Stage 6: Alins - Ribera de Cardós |
|
Western Ramat Stage 11: Salardú - Bossòst |

The Ramat de Camins trek was born in 1956, as a result of a walking trip taken by the writers and hikers Camilo José Cela (Padrón, 1916 – Madrid, 2002) and Josep Maria Espinàs (Barcelona, 1927) around four of the counties in Alt Pirineu & Aran: Pallars Jussà, Pallars Sobirà, Val d'Aran and Alta Ribagorça.
From this trip, two different books were published: Viaje al Pirineo de Lérida (Destino, 1965) and Viatge al Pirineu de Lleida (Selecta, 1957). The latter was later revised and retitled as A peu pel Pallars i la Vall d'Aran (Campana, 2000).
Fifty years later, the writer and hiker Núria Garcia Quera (Barcelona, 1965) made a version of that route and, later, wrote her own account of the trip. The result was the book Nou viatge al Pirineu (Sensus, 2012) and it implied the birth of the Ramat de Camins route, a two-week trek that, just like the great classic routes of other mountain ranges in the world, runs through the traditional roads and goes from town to town, crossing some mountain passes.
The first five stages are put together under the name of Eastern Ramat. On the first day, the entrance to the Pyrenees is through the mythical Collegats gorge and, throughout the rest of the stages, you will discover several valleys in the peripheral area of Aigüestortes & Lake Sant Maurici National Park and, as well as of Alt Pirineu Natural Park.
We have grouped the second block of five stages under the name of Northern Ramat. The first day begins in the town of Àreu, the last town in Vallferrera. Throughout the rest of the stages, you will discover the different valleys in the High Pyrenees, as well as the peripheral area of Aigüestortes National Park, ending in the neighboring Aran Valley.
