Description

EN

Yes, you can access to this lovely corner of the Pyrenees by train as most of people do... but if you like walking like me I would recommend you to go on foot instead discovering the beauty of this mountain valley. You will arrive to the iconic Sanctuary of Núria located in a peaceful mountain area.

FR

Évitez le train à crémaillère et montez indépendamment à travers la belle vallée de Núria. Le Sanctuaire de Núria vous attends là, un coin tranquil et sympa des Pyrenees catalanes.

ES

Sí todo el mundo sube al Santuario de Núria en el tren cremallera ¿por qué subir a pie? Bueno creo que ascendiendo por el sendero del valle de Núria apreciarás mejor los detalles y la belleza de este rincón del Pirineo catalán. Como recompensa, llegarás a la plácida área que ocupa el santuario y una pequeña estación de esquí.
