Route map

The grade is an estimate from distance, climb, steepness, highest point and difficulty tags in OpenStreetMap. It is this app’s own rule, not an official grade.

Danger overview

Tap a layer for the detail, the source and the date.

These tiles are not a safety assessment. Tap one for coverage, source and date. The official bulletins come first.

Use at your own risk

Information only. Conditions change, the data can be wrong, and you are responsible for your own safety. Check the official bulletins on the day, tell someone your route and call 112 in an emergency.

The estimate adds distance in km, climb in metres divided by 100, and extra for steep, high or demanding routes. Under 9 is easy, under 18 moderate, 18 or more hard. It is our own rule, not an official grade.

Route quality signals

  • Waymarking is recorded in OpenStreetMap
  • National route
  • Route number VVTP
  • The route has its own website in OpenStreetMap
  • The route line has no gaps

These are facts recorded in OpenStreetMap. We show no stars and no reviews.

Danger layers

Each layer names its source and date. Where we have no credible source it says not covered.

Flooding

From map data

The national flood map puts about 9.1 km of this route inside the 100 year flood zone, and about 7.2 km inside the frequent 10 year zone. After heavy rain these stretches can be under water or impassable. Mapped zones do not predict flash floods in narrow valleys, so read the weather warnings before you go.

Wildfire

Live layer

Wildfire danger changes every day, so it is shown as a live layer and not as a fixed value for the trail. Regional rules can close forest tracks or ban fires in summer. Ask the local authority if you are unsure.

Check the official bulletin

Extreme heat

Rule of thumb

At Girona Aeropuerto the average August afternoon high is 29.8 °C. This is an average from past decades, and heatwave days are much hotter. The lowest point of this route is 61 m, so start early and finish before midday from June to September.

Source: AEMET climate normals 1981 to 2010 for the nearest long record station. The route can be hotter or cooler than the station.

Snow and avalanche

Rule of thumb

The highest point is 245 m. Snow is less likely here, but it can still fall and lie on paths in winter, especially on shaded sections. Check conditions before you go.

Snow months are a rule of thumb from the height of the route, not a snow report. Avalanche information is the official bulletin only, linked here.

River crossings

From map data

OpenStreetMap shows 17 places where the route crosses a mapped river or stream with no mapped bridge. Small streams are often unmapped, so the real number can be higher. After rain a crossing can be too high to wade.

Exposure and steep ground

Not covered

Most of this route carries no difficulty grade in OpenStreetMap, so we cannot say how exposed it is. Look at the map and the photos, and ask locally.

What to carry

  • Water: about 8.0 litres for 10 h 20 min, at 0.75 litres per hour
  • A light layer and a rain jacket in case the weather turns.
  • A headlamp, because the walk can run past dark.
  • Sun hat and sun cream.
  • The GPX file or an offline map, because phone signal is not certain.

These are rules of thumb from the length, climb and height of the route. They are not a complete kit list.
