Gorges Of Carança

To the entrance of Thués between Valls a poster carries us until the zone of parking on purpose prepared for the visitors of the Gorges of the Carança, giving us a track of the concurrida and popular that is this route, a mix between hiking and adventure. Adventure because the route, although it does not present a lot of difficulties, neither is a way to the use as it has stretches escarbados in the wall and stretches instrumented with bridges and runways above the river Carança that confer him a very special character.

We recommend to initiate the route by Them Cornises; the way initiates crossing a wooden bridge in the parking and leaving the entrance to the Gorges to our left. We will win height rapidamente with Thués and the river Tet in sight until going in directly by the way won to the wall, perhaps the most spectacular. A wire of security visits this stretch to big height, in which if we want to can ensure us.

After enjoying of this first stretch the second part is the most fun, discurre near of the river and the way goes intercalando with steps instrumented, bridges and runways that appear out of nowhere between the trees and allow us advance with security. In total four runways suspended and other so many steps enclavados in the wall, will allow us advance by them Gorges full of rincones of postcard and where the temptation of a chapuzón in the crystalline waters is almost unavoidable.

Once finalised the runways and bridges colgantes follow rising by a very marked way until the Shelter of Ras of Carançà. A small shelter with few comforts but in a privileged place where can realise a stop before beginning the way of turn.

The way of return realises by the same footpath by which have arrived to this spectacular pareje, although in the final part can return by the way of the Roc of the Madriu, a so much rugged but without the exhibition to the height of Them Cornises.

To find the footpath have to be attentive 100 metres before taking the last runway (the first of the gone), as a poster indicates manually right, and in rise, the way to the parking.

This route discurre parallel in front of the one of gone and allows us disfutar of another persepectiva, totally new, of them Gorges.
