YOUR BASE CAMP IN RIPOLLÉS

Hiking

From easy and accessible excursions of 8–10 km, such as climbing San Bartomeu, Sant Roc, El Catllar, or Sant Antoni in Ripoll, to ascents of Taga, Puigmal, Costabona, Balandrau, Gra de Fajol, or Bastiments. Thanks to our exclusive central location in the Ripollès region, you can choose different peaks according to your preferences!

Vía Verde - The Iron Route

The Ripoll Greenway starts on the same street as La Trobada Hotel Sport. Named the “Iron and Coal Route,” it refers to the significant blacksmithing tradition in Baix Ripollès and coal extraction in the Ogassa mines – following the path of the old train. The 12 km route has become an ideal and very accessible trail for walking or cycling, reminding us of an industrial past of which we are today’s heirs.

The area around La Trobada Hotel Sport is mountainous, with countless old paths and trails that connected villages, neighborhoods, and farms, supporting livestock trade and the primary sector. Today, these paths – many still unpaved – form a perfect network for mountain biking.

With the advent of electric mountain bikes, this type of cycling, previously reserved for highly trained cyclists, has become accessible to the general public.
