• Past Excursions

DATE: October 12th at 8am

DISCOVER THE IMPRESSIVE VALL DE LORD, WALK TO THE SANCTUARY OF LORD -one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Catalonia- and visit SOLSONA.

On this occasion, we propose a complete and beautiful excursion to the region of Solsonès, in the heart of Catalonia. An excursion that includes a guided visit to the beautiful town of Solsona, the regional capital and one of the best preserved medieval towns in Catalonia, as well as a nice walk from Sant Serni de Grau (in Sant Llorenç de Morunys) to the sanctuary of Lord, where we can enjoy one of the most impressive and spectacular views of Catalonia.

– HIKE TO THE SANCTUARY OF LORD FROM SANT SERNI DE GRAU

Beautiful route of 9km (round trip) that will allow us to discover one of the most symbolic natural environments of the Vall de Lord. Starting at the Romanesque chapel of Sant Serni del Grau, the route goes up to the Mola de Lord, where we can enjoy fantastic views of the valley of Lord and the reservoir of La Llosa del Cavall.

The route (by dirt road and asphalt track) does not present any technical difficulty, but there is a certain slope (192 meters) and in the final stretch you have to climb many stairs (10 minutes).
