Day 392 - 08/10/2014 : Queralbs station

Winter is coming !!!

Today we are going to Queralbs a town located in Ripollès area. It is situated in the Pyrenees to the north of Ribes de Freser, close to the peaks of Puigmal (2909 m), Infern (2896 m) and Noufonts (2864 m).

Tourism and hydroelectric generation are the bases of the local economy. The shrine of Núria is situated in the municipality, talking an impressive walk to the north of the village. It houses too a Romanesque Marial image of la Mare de Déu de Núria.

The shrine is reached by a rack railway from Ribes de Freser, which also stop in Queralbs in a panoramic landscape just before leaving the road to Ribes. Specially wonderful become in winter with all the track plenty of snow.

Enjoy your visit !
