A whole world of experiences from the start. Vall de Núria summer and ski resort, a breath away from the french borders, with a unique wealth of nature and landscape, is located in the Eastern Pyrenees, within the municipal area of Queralbs. It sits above one of the highest points of the Ribes Valley and it's surrounded by peaks of almost 9, 000 feet from which flow a multitude of water sources and torrents. I invite you to glory in this spectacular mountain landscape using a unique and unusual form of transport: the rack railway. It covers a distance of 12. 5 km and takes you up an incline of over 3000 feet. The rack railway is situated next to the last Spanish village of Queralbs, a unique stone build millenary village, that we are going to visit too. After our incredible experience of tranquility and nature , we will be heading to the very famous outlet village "La Roca Village" where we are going to discover a world of luxury , the region's ultimate shopping destination, just 40 minutes from Barcelona
