In the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees, the Carros de Foc trail awaits, offering an immersive experience in the natural splendor of Aigüestortes i Llac de Sant Maurici National Park in a blend of crystal-clear lakes, rugged mountain peaks, lush forests, and abundant wildlife.
Carros de Foc was born in 1987 when the guardians of these nine mountain huts decided to connect their worlds as an inside joke, creating a route that has since drawn adventurers from near and far.
Each step on this journey brings into view awe-inspiring landscapes, from the serene lakes like Estany de Mar and Estany de Saburo to the daunting yet exhilarating passes like El pas de l’Ós.
The trek is not technical and requires no climbing skills, making it accessible to all hikers, even families. Its circular nature and nine huts along the way mean the journey can be tailored to individual fitness levels and preferences.
Each hut, set in spectacular settings amid a land streaked with crystal-clear mountain lakes, offers a cozy bed, food, showers, and sometimes even Wi-Fi, ensuring a comfortable rest after a day of exploration.
We make sure that every detail is meticulously planned for you. From hut bookings to providing round-the-clock support and GPS navigation, we ensure a seamless experience. Our in-depth digital guidebook delves into the rich tapestry of Carros de Foc, offering insights and stories to enrich your journey.
Due to the high mountainous and relatively wild terrain of the Carros de Foc, luggage transfer is impossible, so you'll need to carry your belongings in a backpack but rest assured, the numerous huts along the route will provide ample food, water, and snacks.
If Carros de Foc calls to you, answer with an adventurous spirit and a heart open to the wonders of the Catalan Pyrenees!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Hut to Hut Hiking. They were exceedingly responsive, patiently answering my many emails' worth of questions about itineraries, schedules, logistics, and the like. They helped to create an absolutely perfect trek according to the limited time I had and they provided helpful information for me to organize travel to and from the start and end points. Hut to Hut's communication is professional, their website is useful, and the itinerary and GPS tracking information they sent me once I paid/booked was flawless. The trails were easy to follow, Ride with GPS worked perfectly, and I was so grateful to have relied on a company to facilitate my route in a country where I was unfamiliar. I'm used to planning my own routes, but Hut to Hut Hiking's expertise and insight made the entire experience infinitely more pleasant.


We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)
