6 Best Day Trips from Barcelona, and the Itinerary to Know for Each | Condé Nast Traveler

"If pronouncing the name makes your tongue trip, expect the scenery to finish the job and render your mouth aghast. Some 200 million years ago, Catalunya’s only national park was a glaciated valley. Today, that’s left us with vast U-shaped valleys, spiky mountain peaks that jut up like pinecones, and a wide expanse of yellow-flowered prairies. But it’s also extremely visitor friendly: flat paths suitable for wheelchair users and children, plus off-the-grid routes for experienced climbers only (who’ll need snowshoes in winter). The national park is one of those something-for-everyone places—of course, being devastatingly handsome helps. A winner for the camera roll, lungs, and glutes." - Gemma Askham,Jessica Benavides Canepa

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited! The breathtaking views, the magical sound of ice singing on the frozen lake, half-frozen waterfalls, and the enchanting snow make it truly unforgettable. We took a special 4x4 taxi from Espot, and in just 15 minutes, we were right next to the stunning lake of Sant Maurici. Highly recommend this experience!

Absolutely stunning and so refreshing during the heat wave! The taxi system is well organized, and even during high season, it wasn’t too crowded. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the peace and quiet. I hope this never becomes a mass tourism destination! Several trails for all levels, well signed. Review by Travel Blog Penguin Trampoline

Beautiful, not crowded, trails are well marked. Mountains, lakes, steams, and it's free to enter or park!

The park is really magnificent with plenty of great views. There are several options for day hikes. In order to reach some of the hikes you need to use a designated taxi service (from Espot), which can be quite expensive.

Beautiful park with exciting views and challenging hiking trails. We are a family of 6 and our youngest is 4 yo, did the trail from the 2nd drop point back to the first. It took us about 2 hours with several rest stops in the middle.

Amazing! View are incredible! There are signs to find a route. A lake, a waterfall, mountains and 4x4 cars to take ppl up and down. In the closet village there are some bars, coffee shops and hotels. One of best places to spend the weekend with a family! To recover your energy levels. 🏞Unforgettable views and emotions!

Really lonely park, lots of water with streams going crisscross. Nice high mountains alongside the valley with good view points. The refugio Estany Llong was closed, so no hot coffee this day (strange on a Spanish national holiday). The valley until the refugio is easy going(there is a ramp for wheelchairs in the lower part where the taxis stop, but it's a deadend for wheelchairs, not for hikers).
