Route: Baqueira – Locampo Ravine
Difficulty: Medium
Type: 4×4
Description:
The Valley of Ruda is an extraordinary example of a glacial valley, its bank crowded by black pine forests. This valley can be spotted from the road from Baqueira to la Bonaigua. Many people believe that the top part of this valley, the cirque of Saboredo (2,300 m), is the real source of the Garona river. Here, numerous lakes are closed off by sheer summits that fade into the cirque, and already inside the limits of el Pallars. The track begins at point 1500 from Baqueira. The road initially leads to a gravel pit, but your eyes will soon be treated to the sight of fabulous meadows with small log cabins adorning a gorgeous backdrop. The track crosses the valley and leads to Locampo (1,800 m approx.). Here, it is advisable to leave your vehicle behind and proceed on foot if you want to enjoy this marvellous place properly.
