Núria

Núria Review

From the ski area of Núria, at an altitude of 6,562 feet, is a dramatic—occasionally heart-stopping—trail, best done in the summer months, called the Camino dels Enginyers, or engineers' path. The three-hour trek, aided at one point by a cable handrail, leads to the remote highland valley of Coma de Vaca, where a cozy refuge and hearty replenishment await. Phone ahead to make sure there's space. In the morning you can descend along the riverside Gorges de Freser trail, another three-hour walk, to Queralbs, where there are connecting trains to Ribes de Freser.
