Characteristics
The most famous ferrata in Catalonia leading to the top of Puigsagordi is known for its 70 meters long Tibetan bridge. It has two variants. The heavy one is Tram de l'Esperó - E / K5.
The equipped part of the track is 800m, but you also need to hike between the equipped sections. The total length is about 4km.
Arrival
From Barcelona take the C-17 towards Vic, exit 46 Centelles Nord. Turn right towards Centelles.
As soon as you enter the village, turn right following the signs to Puigsagordi. Go straight on until you reach a fork and turn right, there are signs indicating Via Ferrata.
Then follow the signs for Via Ferrata to the left along a track to the car park (marked in Google Maps as "parking ferrata baumes corcades").
Approach
From the car park we walk up the dirt road to a large block with a hole in it, and turn right. After a steep climb the track turns into a path where on the right we see the beginning of the rock face.
Descent
Follow the yellow markings to the last section with some staples and to the road and walk back down to the car park.
Points of interest
Along the track, if you keep an eye out for it, you can see fossilized sea shells embedded in the rock. It adds a special touch to this enjoyable ferrata.
