New Members First Hike - Careterra de les aigues Hike

Lets meet outside Vallividrera Superior station at 10am.
The views are AMAZING.

#### Funicular de Vallvidrera (Easiest & Best Views)

1. Take FGC train (S1 or S2) from Plaça Catalunya, Provença, or Gràcia → stop at Peu del Funicular.
2. Transfer to the Funicular de Vallvidrera (same ticket).
3. Get off at Vallvidrera Superior.

### 🗺️ Route Overview

• The trail runs roughly 9 km one way (from Plà dels Maduixers to Carretera de Vallvidrera).
• It’s flat, wide, and gravel — more like a scenic balcony walk than a real “hike.”
• You can turn back whenever you like, or just walk halfway (4–5 km) and return.

### ☕ Cafés & Stops

• Mirablau Café (Tibidabo side) — best for drinks with city views.
• Can Calopa or Peu del Funicular area have local bars if you descend.
• Many people bring a sandwich and sit on benches along the trail.

### 🕐 Timing

• Full return (~18 km) = 3.5–4 hours walking
• Halfway return (~9 km total) = 1.5–2 hours
• Perfect for morning or sunset walks

***

### 🧢 What to Bring

• Trainers are fine (no hiking boots needed)
• Water, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, umbrella — it’s exposed to sun
• Optional: small snack or sandwich

***

### 🌅 Best Times

• Early morning or late afternoon (beautiful light, cooler air)
• Avoid midday in summer — no shade and it gets hot
