Carros de Foc

The logistics, booking, information, trail routes, itinerary, etc. were so professionally organised by Bookatrekking. Every possible question was answered before it could even be asked! The actual Caros de Foc hike is tough but spectaculalry beautiful. A recent decision to prohibit swimming in the lakes in the national park is understandable but very disappointing.

Wat een mooie tocht! We hebben er met heel het gezin ontzettend van genoten. Alle aspecten van trekking kwamen aan bod. Mooie vergezichten, snurkende mede trekkers in de hut, zon en regen. De Max!

Die Tour war großartig, die Organisation wunderbar und wir sind komplett zufrieden! Tolle Landschaft, sympathische Hütten, gute Verpflegung. Etwas überrascht waren wir von der doch recht alpinen Herausforderung. Ab dem dritten Tag mussten wir sehr viel klettern, was mit 12kg auf dem Rücken ziemlich anstrengend war. Das war aus der Beschreibung nicht so deutlich geworden. Trotzdem alles in allem eine empfehlenswerte und gut organisierte Wanderung!!

Unsere Tour war sehr schön und eine tolle Erfahrung. Die Beschreibung hat meist gut zum Weg gepasst und der zusätzliche Hinweis bezüglich des früheren Aufbrechens für den T4 Weg war hilfreich. Als zusätzliche Information wäre eine kurze Beschreibung der Hütten und eine etwas ausführlichere Wegbeschreibung noch hilfreich. Aber insgesamt sind wir mit der gesamten Tour ubd ihrer Organisation sehr zufrieden.

Sehr gut organisiert, alles hat reibungslos geklappt. Gute Tourenbeschreibungen und Hintergrundinformationen.

Alles top geregeld. Mooie, toch redelijk zware familie hike.

Wat een mooie omgeving! App was ideaal om op het juiste pas te blijven. Uitdagend maar haalbaar, ook voor onze jongste van 10 jaar. Alles goed geregeld.

Super Route! The Carres de Foc was just the right level of challenge, and bookatrekking set it up very well for us. The navigation features in the app were very helpful too. This was my first trip in the Pyrennes and they lived up to expectations for beautiful mountains. The terrain was challenging, but the trails were well-marked, and as good as possible, given the terrain. The standard of the hostels was between very good and excellent. Great food, and a good standard in for the sanitation too. A few recommendations. For the Day5 itinerary, there were two options, but they were identical. So something went wrong. The exception proves the rule of a high quality, informative app. One bit of information you might consider adding is that the first 4-5 kilometers of the trek are along an asphalt road. Due to travel delays, we got a late start on the first day, which was hot and sunny. So we were glad to discover that we could actually get a taxi on the first leg. Mentioning that in the app information would have been helpful. More generally we also found that the hiking times given on the trail signs, and (reflected in the app) were about a third shorter than we were able to achieve. So those times are for strong, fast trekkers.

The scenery was beautiful. Some of the refugi’s had challenging aspects- the soap containers to wash your hands ran out of soap, to few toliets (2 for 50 people in the morning isnt enough) Refugi del Estany Llong stood out. There are too many beds hence people for the site. Dinner was awkward with them sitting late arrivals with folks who were on time at a crowed table, the packs are tightly hung so it is difficult to get into them, the lunch was 3 tortillas one with nutella, one with a slice of salami and one with slice of cheese. No condiments or flavor. The other picnics were much better some great.

Carros de Foc in the Spanish Pyrenees is an absolutely spectacular & stunning trail. The trail is easy to follow however it is more difficult than described. Allow for more challenging and longer days during your trek. The huts are fun but overcrowded.

It was really easy to book the trip and everything went smoothly

Trek nummer 4 moet eigenlijk duidelijker gemeld worden als zeer moeilijk. Het gemiddelde tempo ligt onder de 2 km per uur. Niet geschikt voor kinderen!

We went on the treak of the croos de foc in Spain.the information and the data that we got from bookatrekking was all we needed. They always were available to any of our questions. We had a great time.

Carros de Foc is a gorgeous area to hike through with mountains, forests and many mountain lakes. The weather can be quite variable as also the huts vary in size and quality. We experienced sun, rain, and freezing snow and winds. The segment between Vintosa and Estay Llong comprises a long stretch of boulder hopping which is not recommended in wet and icy conditions. fortunately it is easy to walk out and catch taxi/public bus to get around to another hut from various huts. Take the contact details from tourist office and take enough cash to pay for hut and taxi/bus is case. The hike time given by tourist office and some apps differ by hours. So watch out slow walkers.

The Carros de Foc with bookatrekking.com was a stunning but incredibly tough experience. Tougher than the description provided.I mean REALLY tough. The scenery in the Pyrenees is amazing and beautiful but 3 of the stages are listed as “expert” on the Komoot app and I don’t think that is fully explained. Even adding in one more day would help. The Komoot app by the way is brilliant - but make sure you get familiar with it in advance. We sometimes felt we were passing by some of the more beautiful refuges and staying in the less beautiful ones. Might be an idea to offer a Carros de Foc lite without the descent/ascent to Restanca? The actual booking part was done very well.
