This route visits two of Olot’s most remarkable volcanoes, Montsacopa and Montolivet.

Grau d'Escales is a relatively easy pass (grau = ‘pass’ and escala = ‘step’ in Catalan) between two abrupt cliffs from where there are good views of the Salt dels Lliberals (Liberal’s Leap).
Itinerary for the Health Shadow, with a significant drop, but with a reward in the form of panoramic views over the Brugent river valley and much of the Natural Park.
Long itinerary to El Far, one of the most important viewpoints of La Garrotxa, which, despite the great unevenness, is done smoothly and without much effort.
Demanding route through the summits that surround the Mare de Déu del Mont, with panoramic views of much of the Garrotxa and the Alt Empordà.
Excursion to the castle of Hostoles, privileged viewpoint over the valley of Hostoles.
The Rocalba cliff is an excellent viewpoint over Sant Feliu de Pallerols. The holm and downy oaks take over the forest, but one can also find other species that grow randomly like poplars, willows, chestnuts and cherry trees.
