Route of the Bac of Vilallonga de Ter. Route 31 Ripollès

Itinerary that runs through very diverse nature, retrieving a well-known and popular livestock path among local and other farmers from other places in the not-too-distant past that is now part of history. We will enjoy magnificent views of the Pyrenees and Alta Garrotxa. 

We depart from Plaça Països Catalans in Vilallonga de Ter, marker R96, head towards Carrer de Setcases to the road and cross the river Ter. We follow the yellow markings at all times.

We climb along a path in the direction of Planella, the last section follows a cattle track until we reach a dirt track. We reach Pas de les Eugues, the old livestock road that went to Serrat via Meianell. A little further up we can see the neighborhood of el Cros. On the way up we reach Port field, where we find marker R100 El Port. This entire first section is the same as the route From Vilallonga to Setcases via Camí del Port i Tregurà.
