You must follow the PR signs that continue along the paved road to the north, a few meters before the bridge, where you will need to follow the path that goes off to the right. This path cuts across the road that goes up to Els Rasos, which you will have to cross twice. This indicates that it is a steep path, although it is about 700 m, you need to take it easy.

Observations

This variant recommended for bicycles and horses, offers a less technical path than the climb to Ferrús is a fairly technical,  with loose stones. Although it lengthens the stage a little in kms, as it has less elevation gain and is an easier path, can approximately involve the same time. It also allows you to enter one uninhabited areas of great interest.

The stage is also signposted with white and red markings as GR 107.1.

Description

To the total of the stage, we must add 2.4 km (about 35 min) of the initial stage 2 from Peguera and about 5.6 km (1 h 35 min) from the end to Gósol.

2.1 km (1,510 m), 31 min. Once you leave the house Cal Sec On the left, there is a new intersection of tracks, you must continue straight south, but be careful because in a few meters you must follow the path that begins to climb to the right, following the GR marks.

You have to cross the Aigua de Valls River, by the bridge. From here we continue upstream along its right bank. First, however, you have to climb the track that smoothly follows the canal through which the water from the hydroelectric power plant flows.

10.6 Km (1,190 m), 2 h 43 min. Main track. Here there is a variant to climb to Gósol passing through another abandoned hamlet nearby, Moripol, but in this case the proposal is to continue towards Feners following the track and canal, on the right.

In about 7 minutes you pass through a tunnel dug into the rock to make the channel (and the track) flatter. A few meters further on, the trail crosses the river and now follows it along the left bank, along the Malpas Bridge.
