STAGE 05: From Bellver de Cerdanya to Viliella: Where the strength of the Cadí meets the flow of the water.

 

Observations

Care must be taken because the section from Bellver de Cerdanya to Prullans crosses the National Road N-260 several times and is a busy road. There is an alternative path between Bellver and Prullans of about 6.09km and 2 hours of travel, here  the track of this path from our Penyes Altes guide 

 

The proposed end of the stage is in Viliella, at the accommodation Molí del Salt, where you have the possibility of ordering dinner and breakfast.
