There are a lot of opportunities for hiking in the Spanish Pyrenees, but does it get any better than the Carros de Foc? To be fair, it's also one of the best-known multi-day hut-to-hut hikes in the area. Rather obvious, because with 65 kilometers, over 3,500 meters of elevation gain, and 9 welcoming huts, an epic adventure awaits you on the Carros de Foc. Hiking in, quite a mouthful, Parc Nacional d'Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici doesn't get any better than this. Are you ready to discover the wild and adventurous side of Catalonia?

Carros de Foc is Catalan for Chariots of Fire and although no one knows why the trek carries this curious name, we dig it. The route was created in 1987 when the caretakers of the refuges in Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici Park decided to visit each other's huts, resulting in a beautiful circular hike, connecting all the mountain huts, "Refugi" in Catalan, in the area.

During this 6-day adventure, where you hike from hut to hut, you will start and end in Espot. You walk high into the mountains, encountering many natural highlights along the way. You will stay overnight in cozy mountain huts, where you will meet other hikers and enjoy breakfast, dinner, and a picnic lunch. We have selected multiple mountain huts to stay overnight, based on the length of the daily stage. During your daily walks, you will pass by some of the other huts.
