La Seu d'Urgell - Fórnols
This stage of the route, which is hilly, takes you to the ridge of the Cadí. The route is difficult but is mainly on tar roads and offers magnificent views along the way. Leave La Seu dÚrgell along the small road to Cerc. Soon after leaving Cerc turn right in the direction of Ges and the viewing point of La Trava, one of the best in the Alt Urgell. Drop down a little into the village of Adraén. Shortly after leaving Adraén, turn left onto a steep gravel road which, via a series of switch backs, takes you up to the Collada (saddle) del Pelat and, further on, the Collada del Pradell. Here you will find a wire fence and the summit of the Cadí, at 2,320 meters above sea level. The views from here are exceptional. Return along the same route to the intersection and turn left. Pass Coll (col) de Bancs and continue until you reach Fórnols in the valley of the Lavansa.
Fórnols - Bagá
The second stage, the longest of the route, has more gravel road and has a considerable descent. From Fórnols, continue in the direction of Cornellana. At the turning to Cornellana, turn left along a gravel road that follows the river Ribanegra, which has the Cadí to the north and the peak Cadinell to the south, until the Coll de Jovell. Continue down the same path towards Josa. At the intersection shortly before Josa, turn right on the road towards Gosól. At the Pont (bridge) de Cerneres, turn left along a gravel road which is flat to begin with but becomes steeper and rockier. Here we leave the region of Collel and enter the region of Berguedá. Turn right on to the road that slopes down gently and leads to the spectacular Gresolet viewing point in front of the peak Pedraforca to the south. Continue along the tar road towards Saldes. After crossing the Pont de Saldes turn left onto a gravel road that follows the Gresolet stream. Pass the sanctuary and climb the Collado de Bauma. Continue downwards past the Collado de la Bena entering into the Bastareny valley all the way to Bagá.
Bagá - Martinet
This stage is easier and less hilly than the previous stages with more tar road. Leave Bagá via the road to Col de Pal. Turn left onto a gravel road that leads to L'Hospitalet de Roca Sança and up the Collado de la Gavarra, with a view of the Moixeró, Pass the Rebost refuge and climb the Collada de la Bófina. Turn left at the intersection with the tar road (which you previously left) and climb the collada de Pal where the road changes to gravel. Climb the collada de la Mola passing the path off to the right that leads to La Molina. From here the road slopes downwards across the Pleta de les Baques until you reach the intersection of the road between La Molina (right) and Masella (left). Cross over the road and continue down a path leading to the bosc (forest) de la Pleta and les Deveses. On reaching the road between Masella and Alp, turn left towards D
