General presentation
Cerdagne et Vall de Núria
Large Pyrenean valley, high-altitude villages, mountain train to Núria and accessible stations between Catalonia, Andorra and France.
To understand what Cerdagne and Vall de Núria are, you have to look at Vall de Núria, Puigcerdà and Llívia. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, natural spaces and the countryside and allow you to pass from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: mountain weather and winter season different from summer stay. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Vall de Núria
Vall de Núria combines closed valley, alpine landscape and active retreat atmosphere. The path becomes an interior climb as well as a visual route, with changing views on the slopes. Travellers appreciate the combination of relative isolation and open landscapes, especially at the end of the day.
Place
Puigcerdà
Puigcerdà offers a comfortable base to grasp the transition between city and highlands, thanks to its streets, its perspectives and its proximity to the surrounding reliefs. The place is ideal for feeling the contrast between the urban heart and the mountain area from the exit of the centre. A clear morning enhances its facade lines.
Place
Llívia
Llívia remains an endearing stop thanks to its intimate squares, its discreet border character and its easy to follow pedestrian routes. The city reads through its heart and then goes up to the high districts. The finest atmospheres appear when you slow down in the secondary streets.
Place
La Molina
The Molina is first a mountain resort landscape, with slopes, forests and open views of the Cerdagne. In winter, the place lives around the ski; out of snow, the slopes become a walking, cycling and viewpointing terrain, with a light that changes quickly on grass and ridges.
