La Porta del Cel is a staged route that runs, to a large extent, through the interior of the Alt Pirineu Natural Park.
It is a high mountain route, 65 kilometres long and 5,500 metres of positive height difference, with a great variety of landscapes. During the five stages of this journey, we will move through lush forests, deep valleys and high mountains.
It is a relatively demanding route between the Catalan and French Pyrenees. But the comfort of the mountain huts where we will sleep and eat will allow us to recover our strength and fully enjoy La Porta del Cel.
This route also gives us the opportunity to climb the highest peak in Catalonia, La Pica d'Estats, 3,143 metres high.
Come to La Porta del Cel.
