Full description
Dare to cross the longest Nepalese bridge in the Iberian Peninsula! On one of the most epic ferratas in Catalonia: the Via Ferrata Baumes Corcades, in Centelles.
Just 45 minutes from Barcelona, this gem has it ALL: vertical walls, overhangs, side traverses and a 69-metre bridge that will get your heart racing.
Perfect even if you're just starting out, but don't want something too basic.
What we will do
We will meet at the agreed time at the meeting point in Centelles, in the region of Osona, Barcelona. There, we will be met by our technical climbing guide, who will explain everything we need to know before we start: how to use the equipment, how to progress safely on the route and some tips to enjoy it to the full.
Once equipped with harness, helmet, dissipator and rest strap, we will begin the approach: a gentle 5 minute walk that will leave us right at the start of the adventure. And that's where the good stuff begins!
We will climb the first vertical stretch, which will make us feel the tingling in our stomachs and the desire for more. Little by little, we will gain height and confidence. From there, we'll walk a little until we reach the main attraction: the famous 69-metre Nepalese bridge (optional), where we'll have to take a deep breath, activate all our senses and cross!
After the bridge, we will continue along a long side flank that will give us amazing views of the Osona region and beyond: Montseny, the Pyrenees, and the Congost river... pure spectacle.
We will continue walking until the last stretch. In this part we will find a couple of overhangs that will put our arms to the test (but don't worry, there is a metal structure to help us). Finally, you will reach the summit of Turó de Puigsagordi, at 984 metres above sea level, where panoramic views await you, making every step worthwhile.
After enjoying a while at the summit, we will start our way back, walking quietly amidst laughter and memories of our recent experiences. In total it will be about 4 and a half hours of pure adventure, emotion and nature.
