This is an excellent and nicely varied circular walk around the Tossals Verds peak (at around 1,100 m high, it is the 3rd highest on the island). It is an energetic route, which takes us through 5 tunnels (so you'll need a torch!), which bring water down the mountain from the reservoir, includes a couple of steep ascents and a well-located stop at one of the island's beautifully restored refuges. Otherwise, the walk is along delightful paths, many formerly used by the old charcoal burners.

We start at the car park to the north east of the reservoir, and follow the tarmac lane along the side of the reservoir before we branch off and descend the valley (with fabulous views of Tossals Verds). Here we pass through the tunnels and then continue down.

The climb up to the refuge is quite steep but on an easy track and path, and the views from the refuge terraces are quite lovely. From here we continue to climb - steeply and then more gently. The path which circles around Tossals Verds is delightful, and eventually we get a view of the Gorg Blau reservoir before we return to the Cúber.

Highlights

A bit of adventure, lovely views.... and possible sightings of Black Vulture!
