From the car park, we will follow the forest track (a wide path) until we reach the sculpture “Els Estripagecs.” Continuing along the track, we will arrive at Cap dels Graus, where, if snow conditions allow, we will find a metal gate. The Borda de Sorteny mountain hut is located a few metres further up, always following the wide path.

A few metres past the hut, we continue along the back, keeping to the left in a north-east direction, gaining altitude through the forest until we reach the Pleta del Racó.

Take great care from this point to the Clots del Forn, as we will cross the path of a large avalanche that may descend in conditions of extreme instability.

After overcoming the final, more demanding metres, we will reach the end of the route. The return follows the same path.

Ascent time: 2 h 45 min
